Actor Sean Penn insists that he hardly knew his ex-wife Madonna when he was married to her. He claims that he cannot remember having "a single conversation" with her. Ouch!

He says, "She was a phenomenon, but nothing could have told anybody what would happen next. I describe that marriage as loud. That's how I remember it.

I don't recall having a single conversation in four years of marriage. "I've talked to her a few times since, and there's a whole person there. I just didn't know it. I was just living in my own head. Who was it that said 'Men are vain, particularly young men'? That was me, and I liked to drink a lot.

"I'm not saying it was meaningless. I've carried over the lessons to things more applicable now."

Just to put things in perspective, Madonna once called Penn the love of her life. Too bad he doesn't remember much! Penn and Madonna got married in 1985 at the peak of her career and divorced in 89.
