Lady Gaga Talks Acting, Failure and Working With Al Pacino on ‘House Of Gucci’
Just maybe, Lady Gaga has staged the greatest transformation of them all.
The superstar singer’s evolution is staggering, Bowie-esque even, from Stefani Germanotta, to the Gaga so widely known and loved, a chart-topping pop and (sometimes) jazz swinger with a dozen Grammy Awards and an Oscar in her trophy room.
As an actor, Gaga turned heads with her performance as Ally in 2018’s A Star Is Born, for which she scooped the Academy Award for best original song (with “Shallow”). And she metamorphoses on screen as Patrizia Reggiani in Ridley Scott’s latest film House Of Gucci, a performance that has critics raving. Some are predicting a second gold statuette.
On Monday night (Jan. 24), Gaga stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live for a chat, an insider’s look at Gucci, and to share some life lessons learned.
The stage and screen is Gaga’s life pursuit. “I always wanted to be an actor. Much more than I wanted to be a singer,” she explains. Despite doing all the legwork from a young age, a problem persisted. “I just always wanted to be an actress, but I was really terrible at auditioning.”
