Madonna Used to Have a Big Sweet Tooth

Pop superstar Madonna – who now follows a strict diet and exercise regime - was so “obsessed” with candy as a teenager she wanted to sell them.

“My dream was always to work in a candy store," Madonna said. "It was because of my obsession with candy. I’m not obsessed anymore, now that my teeth are all rotten!"

“I did go to a university for a year and there was a candy shop that I used to go to all the time, an old-fashioned one where all the candy was in these big glass jars. I used to go in there and look at all the candy and think, ‘God, it would be really cool to work in here; I could have candy whenever I wanted.’ ”

However, Madonna changed her mind when she moved to New York in the 70s and decided she wanted to be a pop star, no matter what it took.

“When I moved to the Big Apple, that was when I knew that that’s what I was going to do - be a singer and a songwriter and an entertainer," she said.

“I didn’t care if I had to starve, and live in a room with five guys, and wash in a sink; that was what I’m going to do. And because I lived a pretty dismal life and I didn’t care.”
