Taylor Momsen says Madonna was just a ''normal person'' when she met her after agreeing to be the face of her Material Girl fashion line.
The actress-and-singer is the face of the pop superstar's clothing label Material Girl and she insists when she first met Madonna she was nothing like the difficult diva she is often portrayed as.Referring to the 'Celebration' singer's 13-year-old daughter Lourdes - who Madonna worked on the range with - by her pet name, Taylor said: 'Lola had been all day working with me and then Madonna came in. She shook my hand and was just so normal.
'People forget that, she's just a normal person and she was very polite and nice.'
Taylor is struggling to accept her status as a fashion icon, and admits she is also finding it tough to get to grips with English clothes.
The 17-year-old star - who signed to IMG Models when she was 14 and fronts rock band The Pretty Reckless - added in an interview with UK station Radio 1: 'I keep getting told I'm a fashion icon, but I'm not really sure what that means.
'Also you guys in England have different words for clothes over here.
'I learned his weekend the difference between trousers and pants. Pants are your underwear and trousers are pants - in the American sense.'
