Loneliness inspired Madonna to make movie

London: London, Jan 23 (IANS) Pop star Madonna says she wrote romantic drama `W.E` because she was facing a lonely phase.

"W.E" focuses on the affair between King Edward VIII and American divorcee Wallis Simpson, and a contemporary romance between a married woman and a Russian security guard. "When I moved to England after I got married, I really didn`t have any friends. I didn`t know anybody. I found myself in a strange world and I decided that I was going to find out about the history and culture. So I started studying English history and reading about the monarchy," mirror.co uk quoted the 53-year-old as saying. "When I got to Edward VIII, I was transfixed by the idea that a man would give up such a powerful position for love. I started reading books about Wallis Simpson, and I found a lot of them to be really negative and one-dimensional," she added. IANS
