Lady Gaga Covers Deadline's Oscar Preview Issue

Lady Gaga has been revealed as the cover star of Deadline's AwardsLine Oscar Preview issue, and spoke to Antonia Blyth about House of Gucci and her experience as a female actor in Hollywood.

Lady Gaga by Josh Telles for the cover of Deadline.
In the interview, Gaga gave insight into her experience as a woman, and specifically a woman in the entertainment industry, stating the following:
"...I think it's something that a lot of women share in common, this fear of, 'Well, if I'm over 30 and I'm not married, or if I lose my looks at this time, then I'm not going to work anymore.' Or, as an actress in this industry, 'My face has to be frozen in time in order to get a job.'... I think a lot of women can relate to that."
"People do love to watch women fall apart. But they love to watch women fall apart on film and in television. When women fall apart in real life and are vibrant and passionate, we're called crazy. We're called b*tches. We're told we're too much."
"I've been called 'spicy' before. I really disliked that, spicy. It's like, what is the flavor of a woman?"

In regards to how she prepared for her immersive performance as Patrizia Reggiani, Gaga explained, "I put all of the ingredients into a cauldron; I put in the biography of her that I've written, I put in the accent, I put in the script, I put in all of the traumas, I dig through my own library, I contribute my stories. And then I drink the soup, I study the animal. And then I show up on set and Ridley yells action... and I throw it all out the window and just talk to the actor."
When asked if she would ever consider stepping into a directing role on a film, she replied, "...I'm interested in it, yes, but it's something I would want to practice and to become nuanced and nimble. And I would never want to say that I could be great at something that I was not enough of a student of yet."

Gaga later revealed that the House of Gucci scene in which Patrizia confronts Maurizio about counterfeit Gucci products actually took place: "He was profiting off of counterfeit Gucci goods and people thought they were buying a copy when they were down in Chinatown, when in fact they were buying a replica that the family was profiting off of."
To close off the interview, Gaga contemplated what other historical figures she may want to play in the future: "I've always wanted to play Mary Magdalene. I wrote a song about her a long time ago called "Bloody Mary"... all about this woman that was willing to do anything to love who she believed to be the greatest gift to Earth... I guess I'm interested in women's stories."

RECAP: Lady Gaga On Jimmy Kimmel Live!

Lady Gaga appeared as a guest on the January 24th episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!.
Gaga sat down to chat with Kimmel and discuss her critically acclaimed role in House of Gucci.
  
Gaga also touched upon her experience performing at the Super Bowl, revealing that her sister Natali bedazzled the football that she caught at the end of her performance, and that it was thrown to her by a real quarterback.
While recalling past audition experiences, Gaga revealed that she was in the running for the role of Maureen in a national tour of RENT, but was not cast as she had only been 17 at the time.

Later, she spoke to her family’s reaction to her starring opposite Al Pacino in House of Gucci (“My father’s had heart issues his whole life, and I was like, ‘this is going to put him back in the hospital,’”) and the highly-discussed sex scene between Gaga and Salma Hayek’s characters that was ultimately cut from the film (giving us the instantly iconic quote, “I MADE OUT WITH SALMA HAYEK!”).
 
 
As the interview wrapped up, Gaga revealed that the classic “Father, Son, and House of Gucci” line was actually a prayer she would say to herself every day in her trailer, that naturally made it into the movie.
Following the interview, Gaga stepped out for photos looking absolutely radiant.

Lady Gaga Covers W Magazine "Best Performances" Issue

Lady Gaga graced the cover of W Magazine's "Best Performances" Issue.
 
Gaga was interviewed by Lynn Hirschberg, speaking about her performance in House of Gucci. The shoot was photographed by Tim Walker and styled by Sandra Amador and Tom Eerebout.

In the interview, Gaga gave further insight into how she found the character of Patrizia Reggiani. “I felt Patrizia would dance like she was underwater, like she was coming up for air,” she said of the early disco scenes when she first meets Maurizio Gucci. “Everything about her had to do with striving. At the disco, she knew she was seen—and, in a way, it was the last time she was free.”

When asked if she was sad to let the role go at the end of production, Gaga noted, “On the last day of filming, I was on the balcony of my apartment in Rome, and I was blasting Dean Martin singing "Mambo Italiano," and I had a cigarette hanging out of my mouth. I was Patrizia. But I knew I had to say goodbye to her: Large swarms of flies kept following me around, and I truly began to believe that she had sent them. I was ready to let her go.”
