(UTV | COLOMBO) – As part of a feature interview with Vogue magazine, singer and actress Lady Gaga revealed she tried full-on method acting for her role as Patrizia Reggiani in Ridley Scott’s upcoming film “House of Gucci”.
The film deals with Patrizia’s tumultuous marriage to Maurizio Gucci (Adam Driver) and her eventual hiring of a hitman to murder her ex-husband. Jared Leto, Jeremy Irons and Al Pacino also star. Talking about getting into character, she says:
“It is three years since I started working on it, and I will be fully honest and transparent: I lived as her [Reggiani] for a year and a half. And I spoke with an accent for nine months of that. Off-camera. I never broke. I stayed with her.”
Gaga also says traits of the character started to impact her view of the world: “Anything that I looked at, anything that I touched, I started to take notice of where and when I could see money.”
The project marks Gaga’s first role since her Oscar nomination for the most recent incarnation of “A Star is Born”. “House of Gucci” opens in cinemas on November 24th.
