Madonna’s boyfriend speaks: “I have not yet shown the world the extent of my talent”


Amazingly, Madonna’s 24 year-old boyfriend, French dancer Brahim Zaibat, (“Jailbait” to many of you) has given an exclusive interview to OK! Magazine. The fact that he’s speaking so openly, along with some of the things he says, makes me think that he and Madonna are over and that he’s cashing in when he can. English is Brahim’s second language, though, and maybe he’s just phrasing things oddly and isn’t really hinting that he’s no longer hitting the gristle. Here’s his interview, and OK! has an exclusive photo of him and everything. He’s really hot looking with piercing brown eyes.

“Hi, how are you?” Those were the first, spellbinding words exchanged between Madonna and her 24 year-old breakdancer boyfriend, Brahim Zaibat – or so Brahim tells OK! in an exclusive interview. The Frenchman met the Material Girl last September at the launch of her ready-to-wear line – and was not especially overwhelmed.

“She was just a woman almost like the others,” Brahim recalls. “An exceptional artist and world-famous, of course, but a woman first. I was just happy to meet her. But not particularly stressed!”

Indeed, Brahim isn’t even a huge fan of Madonna’s musical canon. He wasn’t a gleam in his parents’ eyes when the 53-year-old icon’s first monster hit, “Like a Virgin,” rocked the music world.

“It is not the kind of music I [prioritize] in my iPoad,” he tells OK! “But like everyone else, I know her hit songs.”

The couple is, however, bonded by a mutual devotion to dance.

“Madonna has always been passionate about it,” Brahim says. “Her childhood dream was to become a dancer. It gives us one more thing in common.”

Of course, having such a high profile girlfriend can transform someone’s life overnight. But Brahim insists he’s still the same person he always was.

“I will not say [the romance] is going too fast, but things take their course,” the breakdancer tells OK!.

“Basically, my life has not changed much, and I’ve stayed the same,” adds Brahim, who admits that he has always had a way with the ladies.

“When I was younger, I had a number of female conquests,” he says. “The dance helped me a lot.”

But Brahim says his art means more to him than anything else.

“I am a dancer first,” Brahim declares, adding, “I have not yet shown the world the extent of my talent.”

[From OK! Magazine, print edition, February 6, 2012]

He sounds like a total douche, right? “I had a number of female conquests. I have not yet shown the world the extent of my talent.” Then again Madonna isn’t keeping him around for his conversational skills and sparkling personality. His comment that “Things take their course” make it sound like these two are already broken up, but Brahim attended the W.E. premiere earlier this week, so probably not. At least Madonna kept him away from the red carpet. She doesn’t give her lovers much of the spotlight or make them stars like Clooney does. Madonna is going to whip his ass and take away his allowance for talking out of turn. It almost sounds like he’s disrespecting her here, but she probably likes a little insolence so she can hit back hard and keep her young lovers in line.

    Good, let’s keep it that way kiddo.

    • Capella says:

      Love CB’s insolence treatment!

      Honestly, George Clooney and the rest should take note. ESPECIALLY desperate Lopez. So Madonna is sleeping with a younger man. All her exes adore her. She is giving this Brahim more coverage than he would ever have in his lifetime, even if she’s not trolling him on the red carpet and during interviews.

      A lot of older, richer, men have preferred fresher female meat. Sometimes we smirk at them, as women, but the men pat them on the back and have nothing but admiration for them. The biggest difference however, those rich sugar daddies NEVER lose professional credibility because they are dating a fresh filly. Never!

      We however tend to criticize Madonna’s credibility as an entertainer because of her dating younger men. Would you be surprised if I told you that W.E. is getting a better rating on Rotten Tomatoes than a lot of those other blockbuster with big names movies?

      • The Orignal Original says:

        Capella loves the gristle

      • Capella says:

        The gristle?
        Either you are saying I love eating p**sy, or I have a fetish for fat men… Or am i missing another classy definition for the word?

      • Nev says:

        word.

        double standard.

      • Funnylilou says:

        Perfectly well said!

      • Nancy says:

        Love your comment, Capella. The double standards and nasty comments are predictable and annoying.

        OK Mag is pretending this is new. This interview is a rehashed version of an old one he gave that’s been translated and sort of paraphrased.

        He’s actually 25 going on 26. Can’t the press even bother looking that up?

      • catt says:

        I don’t consider a 13% rating on Rotten Tomatoes a good rating.
        The movie bombed because of the direction and the script.
        In other words, Madonna.
        Even the reviews that were not all negative singled out those two things as torpedoing the film.The other parts that were decent…costumes/acting/cinematography/ she had nothing to do with.

  2. MJ says:

    Madonna actually looks really good here. I think it’s the hair.

    • Minty says:

      Yes, because the hair is covering her jacked up face.

      I didn’t know being a boytoy is a recognized talent.

  3. Bite me says:

    Gorgeous young man… Madonna seem asexual to me

  4. TheOriginalVictoria says:

    Whatever! I’d totally hit that. Just DOUBLE UP on the condoms and spermicide and pray nothing breaks because we’d be shaking those sheets hard!

    That is all.

  5. Sisi says:

    *reads quote in title*

    *barfs*

    • Marjalane says:

      Seriously! Once you consider what his “talents” probably are, and then you add Madonna, you pretty much start reaching for the clorox.

  6. LeeLoo says:

    Why would he hit that? I never found Madonna attractive. Now with those cheek implants she just looks gross.

    Dude must be a man-whore. That’s the only reason I can think of for him dating a 52 year old self aborbed image obsessed bitch like Madonna. I hope she pays well to have all that gristle maintained.

    Btw, I really want to laugh at the first photo of her attempting the flirty school girl. BITCH YOU ARE OVER 50!

  7. brin says:

    LOL@”hitting the gristle”!

  8. QQ says:

    And still he is better than Jlo’s facially challenge baby douche…. By very little, but still

  9. dorothy says:

    Sexual talent doesn’t count idiot.

  10. Pauline Bernoski says:

    You sure he’s not her beard?

  11. paola says:

    Yeah his life has not changed at all, I bet he was releasing interwievs to magazines even B.M. ( Before Madonna).
    Yeah babydoucheface, i totally buy it. *yawn*
    I’m sure the world can’t wait to see your talent. *double yawn*

  12. Jo says:

    Yeah, probably his only talent is not throwing up all over the old bitch and her gnarly self when he bonks her. *just saying* She is disgusting and so are all her little man hos that will never be remembered. They’ll always be just another notch on the headbored (sic) who will fade away into obscurity.

  13. Leticia says:

    She has better taste in dancers than J-Lo.

  14. Nina says:

    “I have not yet shown the world the extent of my talent.”

    It sounds like he’s about to flash us all.

  15. Gine says:

    Yeah, we’ll never see or hear from this guy ever again.

  16. guilty pleasures says:

    snarfle, choke, giggle, snort!!!
    That was my reaction. My second reaction was- ahh, what a cute little boy, all proud of his little sand castle!! How sweet.
    Not.
    His body is highly average, I would expect a young dancer to be ripped, defined, long lean muscle, not skinny fat like he is.
    And he does have the douche face, similar to JLo’s man child.
    Are there no MEN around for these women??

    • CookieJar says:

      Exactly what I thought! Jlo’s babydoucheface at least has the body and POSTURE of a professional dancer. This guy has a doucheface, his body is like how you just described it, plus I think he totally ridiculed Madonna with this douchy, stupid and unnecessary interview. “When I was younger, I had a number of female conquests,” – come on, does he think he is Marlon Brando now?

      My next thought: my boyfriend is so much better looking and more intelligent 😀 Thanx Madonna for the ego boost 😛

  17. Asli says:

    “When I was younger, I had a number of female conquests,”

    Of course you did Madonna-boinking manchild. Of course you did.

  18. Maya says:

    I don’t know…to comment?
    She doesn’t keep these types around for conversation, but she can’t really boast about being such a great conversationalist.
    I can recall her first interviews, yes way back when, and her last lot of interviews and not much has changed. She is an egotistical airhead with nothing to say.
    She is like Elle MacPherson without the height/body that only speaks when paid hideous amounts of money. Even women working the ‘oldest profession’ have better conversational skills.

  19. BW says:

    His quotes remind me of that tall guy from “Everything is Illuminated” whose English was really mangled.

  20. toto says:

    the 2 last maddona boytoys r arabs i guess this guy and the one before him .

  21. ladybert62 says:

    Some of his comments are hysterical and I loved your “hitting the gristle” – that one had me rolling on the floor.

    Madonna, Demi, J. Lo – all these older women are pathetic in their attractions to men that could be their children – certainly shows a sign of insecurity on the part of the women – they dont want a relationship with anyone their own age and just want the hot studly men and their sex – I find it amusing and disgusting at the same time.

    • Maya says:

      I’d have to slightly disagree about men their age.
      I’ve rarely seen men their age date women their age, if you know what I mean.
      Look at every high profile man with a similar career level, they date or marry women much younger.
      Look at Rupert Murdoch. How old is Wendy Deng? She is younger than Madonna, not that Madonna is Rups’ age, but still, even an old codger like Murdoch goes for women that are at least forty years younger than he is.
      Sad to say but once a woman of that financial stature is over 50 her choices are really limited to men that they…pay for in some way or another.
      Demi paid via her contacts/status in Hollywood, so Ashton has some kind of ongoing career, when he should have been put out to pasture after the Butterfly Effect and that 70s Show.
      J.Lo has bought her dancer bed buddy a prestige car.
      Madonna is probably the most tightfisted of the trio.

      • the original bellaluna says:

        Oh, dear God, the Butterfly Effect. A pile of lame, stuffed with lame, topped with lame, served with a side of lame, smothered in an et tu lame sauce. ALL of it.

  22. Agnes says:

    I’m 36 and I cannot imagine trolling for 20-year old guys. Grossness. Why/how does she do it? Meh. (Why do any old people troll for youngings? I imagine these people are freaked out by getting older?)

    • ladybert62 says:

      Hi Agnes – I agree with you. These women in their own minds are “forever 21” and they prove it to themselves by their ability to get these young men – and I also think it is just as silly for older men (Clooney) to do the same thing – to me, this just speaks of denial and fear of aging.

  23. Franny says:

    I love his floral diaper.

    • Kasey says:

      LOL! I thought it was strange looking and bunchy in that way too! I just can’t take this kid seriously.

  24. Ron says:

    So the nude pics haven;t surfaced yet….That’s your best talent sweetheart.

  25. kimberly says:

    omg i had that same dress in 8th grade in the 90’s! so funny! did my hair the same way, but wore it cuter with white tights and black patent leather chunky mary janes in the 90’s.

    you know when they actually made clothes using natural fiber and not the see through stretchy crapshit they use now.

    OLD NAVY IS UGLY AND FOR UGLY PEOPLE.

  26. Gabby says:

    He seems really contemptuous of women, which unfortunately is common among young French guys of Maghrebi origin (I lived in Marseille). I can see why that would appeal to Madonna, she’s far more insecure than most people realize (narcissism stems from great insecurity, and just look at what she’s done to her FACE to see that she’s not happy w herself), and a hot, young, contemptuous guy would be irresistible to her. Blegh.

  27. skuddles says:

    Well considering the “extent of his talent” probably resides in his drawers, we’d appreciate it if he never showed us. Save it for Grandma.

  28. Jover says:

    Maya’s comment for the win imho.

  29. truthful says:

    **Rolls Eyes**

  30. aprayerforthewildatheart says:

    So, this guy thinks he’s somehow absorbing talent through Madge’s Vag? And, once he’s done feeding off of her he’ll show us all the true TALENT he’s got hidden away somewhere? Right. No thank you.

  31. tango says:

    When I read the headline all I thought was hmmm. We’re going to see the extent of his talent someday huh? Is he posing nude in some magazine because I figure the only real talent he posseses is between his legs. That and an ability to adhere to Madonnas wishes in all matters.

  32. Team Six says:

    Oh my god …

  33. the original bellaluna says:

    And please, for the love of all that’s Holy, keep it in the bedroom. (Your “talent,” that is.)

    It’s only Jan, FFS.

  34. The Bobster says:

    Once a ho, always a ho.

  35. Sara says:

    I don’t know why, but these star’s kept boys seem way skeezier than the kept women of Hollywood. I mean, if a powerful woman like JLo or Madonna can have their pick of choice aspiring young models and actors then why do they choose these guys? It just stumps me.

  36. Darolo says:

    OMG! what a jealous bunch of losers we have here. He’s actually had a dance career for about 10 years. (He was 25 in Sept 2011). He’s a brilliant dancer incredibly strong & fit. He’s a world champion – B Boyz Pokemon Crew. He’s certainly no weakling push-over. Much of this so-called interview by OK! comes from the interview Grazia did about 4/5 months ago. I also read it in French and I can tell you they need a better translator. Regarding his ‘comment’ about conquests when he was younger, he was asked if he had had many girlfriends. His reply in French was simply “Yes, when I was younger I dated a few then as I had a few longer relationships”. Creative journalism at work here!!! But of course, the masses always believe what they read so …..! He’s a good man, more emotionally mature than Guy Ritchie, her kids love him and she’s happy. Who gives a fuck about numbers!!! Madonna doesn’t thank God! I don’t want to see her with a 50+ stuffed shirt! and it just won’t happen , so get over it!

    • Alita says:

      “B Boyz Pokemon Crew.” “World champion.” Lol.

    • catt says:

      Lol! Defensive much? And really saying he is the world champion of “B Boyz Pokeman Crew” says all I need to know about him. I am so jealous.

  37. Heya just wanted to give you a brief heads up and let you know a few of the pictures aren’t loading correctly. I’m not sure why but I think its a linking issue. I’ve tried it in two different internet browsers and both show the same results.
