Richard Branson appears to only have one joke — but it’s a good one.
We hear the Virgin Group founder did karaoke on his new cruise ship, Scarlet Lady, in Miami this week — and belted out Madonna’s “Like a Virgin.”
Our source tells us a small group of VIPs followed the billionaire as he hopped between the Virgin Voyages ship’s multiple eateries and bars, before seeing him get on stage with Miami Heat star Victor Oladipo to belt out the 1984 hit.
“It was great,” says the witness. “He sang the whole song. He can carry a tune. There’s nothing that man can’t do.”
The classic jam is apparently his go-to at karaoke. “I do it at the work dos – it always gets a laugh,” Branson told NME in 2017. “I’ve done it on the wings of planes and I’ve even done it when Madonna’s been in the room; I serenaded her.”
While Madge was unfortunately absent this time around, we hear model Adriana Lima, Jonathan “Foodgod,” Cheban, and artists Romero Britto and Carlos Betancourt were at the event.
In addition to showing off his singing skills, the 71-year-old adventurer also showed off his muscles during a shirtless workout with trainer Jono Castano aboard the vessel.
The adults-only ship — which features 20 restaurants, several nightclubs, a spa and even a tattoo parlor — will have its home base in Miami and cruise the Caribbean, stopping in the Bahamas and Puerto Rico. It was scheduled to set sail last year but was held up due to the pandemic.
It makes its maiden voyage on October 6.
