Papa don’t preach, shoot that video please!

Actor Danny Aiello was interviewed on the Jim & Kim Show and revelead that he never wanted to play Madonna’s father role in her “Papa Don’t Preach” music video back in 1986.

“My daughter talked me into that,” he said, “I didn’t want to do it because, ya know, I don’t do videos”.

He also explained he didn’t accept the $450 for the shoot in exchange for his daughter, who was a huge fan, to be allowed on set to take pictures.

Aiello’s opinion on Madonna hasn’t changed much since they met at the time her “True Blue” album was released, not to say he isn’t brutally honest about what he thinks about the Material Girl.

“She hasn’t changed much, except I think she was a better singer when she was sorta brand new,”
he told Jim & Kim.

But despite the criticism, the big screen actor still remembers her fondly.

“She was very nice to me, I suppose it was a father/daughter relationship.”

Big thanks to Craig, the producer of the show!
