Madonna: 'Love keeps me young'

Madonna believes ''love'' and happiness are the key ingredients to stay looking good as you get older.

Madonna thinks "love" is the secret to looking young.

The 53-year-old singer - who is currently dating 24-year-old dancer Brahim Zaibat - does not believe she has a "secret" to looking youthful but credits strong relationships with those close to her for keeping her at her best.

Speaking at the UK premiere of her new movie 'W.E.' at the Odeon Kensington last night (11.01.12), she told BANG Showbiz: "What's my secret? Love. I don't know. I don't have a secret. The most important thing is being happy."

Madonna - who was wearing a Gaultier dress and Van Clee and Arpel diamonds at the premiere - also revealed she would not direct a musical about her own life in the future as she believes her albums and singles represent her life.

She added: "Would I consider making a musical about my life? Oh God, no. I would sanction one though, why not, yeah. I mean aren't all the records and everything I've done over the years are kind of like the musical of my life anyway."

A host of celebrities walked the red carpet at the premiere, including the film's stars Andrea Riseborough, James D'arcy and Abbie Cornish and Boyzone singer Ronan Keating.
