Cole Palmer and Joao Pedro turned from Premier League footballers to film stars on Monday, appearing as surprise cameos in Madonna’s newly premiered short film Confessions II.

The 14-minute film, which debuted on 8 June and showcases six new songs from Madonna’s upcoming album due on 3 July, features the two Chelsea forwards in a bathroom rave scene. As the 67-year-old pop icon walks past a group of men at the urinals, Palmer and Joao Pedro turn around to make eye contact with her.

The cameo had been quietly telegraphed a month earlier when Palmer revealed that Madonna was the most famous person he had ever met — a comment that, in hindsight, read as a deliberate tease.

The Chelsea pair are in notable company throughout the film. Sabrina Carpenter, Benedict Cumberbatch and Richard E Grant are among the other celebrity faces to appear alongside Madonna in the project.
