Piven: 'Madonna is like a wild beast'

Jeremy Piven has admitted that he was intimidated when he met Madonna.

The actor, who recently appeared in Guy Ritchie's RocknRolla likened the pop queen to "a wild beast".

"She was very intimidating," Piven told Metro. "She didn't have to say anything. She was just Madonna. It's like she was some sort of wild animal - a wild beast walking into the room. It's like, there she is - it's Madonna!"

Piven picked up his third Emmy last month for his portrayal of abrasive Hollywood agent Ari Gold in Entourage.
