Madonna on tour 1987 - 13 Year Old boy.

Just fell down a rabbit hole on You Tube and came across this.

It's Madonna on tour in 1987 and this 13 year old boy is star of the show.

It's very odd and I'm wondering how people back then thought it was ok.

judging by his insta, he loved every single second!

Because people just accepted stuff like that it was barely a secret everyone knew about

Sex, drugs and rock and roll.
Groupies
Young dancers
Young starlets being propositioned to get roles or once they were in roles.
Child actors and actresses given alcohol and illegal drugs, I think Drew Barrymore was about 8 the first time she was drunk possibly younger.

I never understand the current outrage as if it was all a huge secret that no one knew about, the absolute travesty is that EVERYONE knew and carried on regardless. There are films and books written about the seediness of the entertainment industry even back then it wasn't a secret to anyone even if your weren't in the industry. It's great that a light is being shone on what happened but what on earth was Chris Finches parents thinking? What were the parents thinking that decided to sign-up to send their children unsupervised to MJs or PDiddys? It was $$ signs in their eyes otherwise if it was purely for the child career they would have supervised better.

What's odd about it? He is an excellent dancer, literally just dancing. Are you the Minister from the town in Footloose by chance?

There's a section of one of the dances where he kisses her and fake orgasms which I assume is what OP has picked up on.

Is that felix Howard? I was sweet in him as a child - same age 💕🤩

Singleandproud · 23/11/2024 16:09

No I don't think so Felix was in the video but didn't do the tour, I think it's Chris Finch

This exactly. People commenting when they clearly haven't watched the full video. There's also the part when he's shoving the feather duster down her bra.

Well if there ever was proof needed she lipsynched her performances...
Ever see Brooke Shields movies? 12 when she played a child prostitute in Pretty Baby and 15, half naked and pregnant in Blue lagoon and then Endless Love a year later...there was a bit of controversy over Pretty Baby but not that much to stop it being a box office hit (or maybe that's why). Not an excuse but it was how it was back then.
