Rafe Spall reveals he ended up 'grinding' with Madonna at wild party in NYC before his dodgy dance moves dissipated the crowd

Rafe Spall has recounted the hilarious night he ended up grinding with pop legend Madonna.

The Shaun of the Dead star, 37, revealed he had ended up pulling off some dodgy dance moves with the songstress, 62, during a party at her house on an upcoming episode of There's Something About Movies.

Rafe recalled how he and his pals were invited to Madonna's New York City mansion after he had appeared in Betrayal on Broadway alongside Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz.  

'Madonna comes and Madonna comes backstage afterwards and she really liked the show and I had a good part in the show and she was very kind to me and then the next day we all got invited to dinner at Madonna's house.

'On the Upper West side, these two huge mansions pushed together. Dinner finishes, table gets cleared. Then she's like "everybody get up and dance!"

'I'm like, don't back down. So I'm there and I'm dancing. And then Madonna comes right up to me and starts grinding on me, like hard! She's tiny, she's down there with her gold grill on.'

Rafe admitted dancing with the Like A Prayer hitmaker had terrified him but he tried to keep his cool, saying: 'And my whole torso starts to sweat, I'm like really frightened. She looks in my eyes and she says to me "this is who you are, this is who you are."

'Again I'm like don't back down, so I'm like "yeah, this is who I am Madge". I'm dying, I'm shaking from trying to brave this one out.'

'I thought, I've got to get out of this. I managed to shimmy out by going, do you know where the toilet is Madonna?

'I go downstairs and I'm like, oh my god, Madonna's just been grinding on me.'

Moves: He said: 'I've got two moves right, I've got the butterfly and the bogle. I'm in there doing the butterfly (above) and the bogle, the crowd just dissipates' 

However, Rafe's plight wasn't over yet as when he rejoined the party, a dance circle had formed, with Queen of Pop Madonna aptly on a throne.  

'She says "Rafe! Get in the circle!" I'm like, don't back down. Madonna's on the throne, all of her dancers, having to pull off some moves.

'I've got two moves right, I've got the butterfly and the bogle. I'm in there doing the butterfly and the bogle, the crowd just dissipates.'

Here’s the clip of him telling the story:

Who’s the moron that towards the end of the clip brings up the Madonna is old, by the way? The ageism towards her will never end, will it?! Such disrespect! “She’s quite old as well, isn’t she?” Unbelievable! “Haha” how funny ugh.
