Madonna’s self-produced biopic starringJulia Garnermay be on hold, but the pair are still giving fans reasons to be excited.
On Tuesday, the legendary pop star, 64, shared several photos of her posing with Garner, 29, on herInstagram Story, writing: “Bitch we’re Madonna! 😂😂😂” in a caption to one photo showing the pair as they snacked on some french fries.
The pair appeared together at what appeared to be a birthday party for photographer and filmmakerSteven Klein, who has worked on a number of projects with Madonna — full name Madonna Louise Ciccone — over the years.
