Tom Arnold recently spoke candidly about a shocking prank he and Hugh Grant pulled on Madonna.
The 66-year-old American actor and comedian appeared on the What’s Wrong with Orny Adams podcast, where he disclosed that he executed a bold stunt against Madonna by pilfering items from her personal belongings in her suite after she invited the duo to her private show in San Francisco.
Arnold shared, “Hugh Grant and I were best friends, so he had just done (the film) Four Weddings And a Funeral and I had done True Lies, so we had something going… (we) went out every night (for) five months in San Francisco.”
The Gardens of the Night actor and The Gentlemen star were backstage, as Madonna clearly had strong “chemistry” with Grant and ended up inviting both of them to her suite.
Arnold recalled, “We get in the elevator and I go, ‘Hugh, I swear to God my feelings will not be hurt if I get out of this elevator right now and go back to our hotel by myself.’ He’s like, ‘Tom, do you or do you not want to see me f***** Madonna?'”
Recollecting further, he added, “He’s like, ‘Stick around, mate, in about 10 minutes I’ll be f***** Madonna.'”
Notably, the situation took a turn as soon as they reached the suite and felt at ease while the 66-year-old American singer-songwriter and record producer was freshening up.
“So we’re like making ourselves at home, and Hugh Grant grabs a bottle of $200 champagne and chugs it, and I see a giant white sheet cake there. So, I cut the corner piece with the most frosting…” Arnold shared.
The Hit and Run star went on to reminisce about discovering the Grammy-winning singer’s Louis Vuitton luggage in the room, which sparked the idea of stealing from it.
Arnold said he asked Grant, “Are you thinking what I’m thinking?” and he replied, “Yes, let’s steal some s*****.”
Grant proceeded to steal “antique silverware…” Madonna then re-entered the room and exclaimed, “What are you f***** doing? That’s my brother’s birthday cake; we’re going to surprise him with that tonight.”
The “Like a Virgin” songstress retorted, “Get the f**** out of here. You guys are idiots,” to which Arnold quipped, “You can still have s***** with Hugh Grant.”
