Guy Ritchie: I still love Madonna but she's retarded too

Director responds to singer's concert jibe

Guy Ritchie and Madonna are parents to sons Rocco David Banda

Guy Ritchie still has strong feelings for his ex-wife Madonna.

The couple split last October after eight years of marriage.

Days after the divorce, Madonna told an audience at a gig, 'This song is for the emotionally retarded. Maybe you know some people who fall in that category. I know I do.'

And in a new interview with Esquire, Guy, 41, says: ‘I still love her. But she's retarded, too.'

Guy admits he admires the 51-year-old's work ethic.

‘She's a manifester, if there ever was one,' he adds. First-rate manifester. Madonna makes things happen.

'Put Madonna up against any 23-year-old, she'll outwork them, outdance them, outperform them.'
