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.
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.”
