Star of the upcoming film The Huntsman: Winter's War, Jessica Chastain visited the Ellen DeGeneres show and told the host a story about the time she spanked Madonna.
DeGeneres and Chastain were chatting about Madonna and DeGeneres said that she heard they had a close encounter. Chastain begins the story in Prague filming when someone asked her if she wanted to go to a Madonna concert.
So, Chastain agreed and was having a good time with her friends when she was approached about going up on stage with Madonna.
She refused at first but when her friends got upset she agreed to go through with it for them.
Chastain was taken backstage and instructed to climb a ladder and was pulled on stage by her dancers. She was instructed what to do but when they told her she had to dance she was shocked, however, she went through with it like a champ (video below).
During the routine, Chastain herself was spanked and said she couldn't remember her name while it was all going on.
During the interview DeGeneres had some footage in the background and when it came towards the part where Chastain spanked Madonna everyone lost it.

They laughed at how hilarious the moment was to relive and Chastain was red with embarrassment. Chastain revealed that she wasn't told to spank Madonna but she did it anyway.
Chastain says the minute it happened the look on the dancers faces were completely surprised as she was touching Madonna. DeGeneres was a little lost when Chastain revealed that she received a banana at the end of the performance.
After all of the Madonna fun, DeGeneres got into The Huntsman: Winter's War which she says is a complete departure for Chastain. Chastain says she is a workaholic and spends 80% of her life working in depressing roles. She was approached by Chris Hemsworth to do the film and Chastain revealed that Hemsworth is a great kisser.
She did however say that Hemsworth has a great family and is a pretty perfect person. You can check out Chastain's interview with DeGeneres in the video below. The Huntsman: Winter's War hits theaters Friday, April 22.
