Guy Ritchie jokes about Madonna being his “boss”

The director made the gag while promoting his new movie Sherlock Holmes with star Robert Downey Jr on American TV show Entertainment Tonight.

Downey, whose wife Susan is a producer on the film, was asked: “How was it having your wife as a boss?”

Ritchie chipped in: “You could ask me that!”

But he did not elaborate, laughing: “Moving on, moving on….”

Both men were in a jokey mood in the interview, screened in the US on Thursday night.

In one scene in the new film Downey as Holmes is naked on a bed with only a pillow to preserve his modesty.

Ritchie said: “We had to augment the size of the pillow for the trailer.”

Downey asked: “Did you have to make it smaller to make me seem more significant, or larger to quell the audiences’ thirst wondering why I would need a big pillow?”
