Lady Gaga He is the latest big music star to shine in the Hollywood industry. A route previously traveled by legends like Barbra Streisand, Cher or David Bowie, but with the singer of ‘Poker face’ It acquires an additional degree of complicity between the arts. Unlike her predecessors and with a career still short behind the cameras, Gaga has shown an unusual looseness of the registers. We find his last and particular performance in the recent Joker: Folie à Deux. A controversial film in which he is presented as the main novelty of an unexpected sequel, bringing to life Harley Quinnthe protagonist’s romantic interest.
However, despite her involvement in her performances, Gaga changed the way she acted. concentrate the profession after assuming the role of the criminal clown’s sentimental partner. After a career that began with small participations in minor productions like Killed with machetes either Sin City: a lady worth killing forthe musical artist gave a knock on the table in 2018 when he starred in the remake of a star is born with Bradley Cooper. Role which earned her her first Oscar nomination for Best Leading Actress and ensemble recognition international criticism that he saw exactly the same thing as the title made by Cooper said. The New Yorker lost the category on this occasion against an unstoppable Olivia Colman In The favoritebut he won the statuette for best song thanks to the completely viral song by ‘Shallow’. However, beyond the commitment that each actor has for their role, Gaga recently admitted that before facing Joaquin Phoenix, she was used to not being noticed. get rid of everything characters to whom he brought to life.
Lady Gaga falls in love with her characters
Lady Gaga is not the first (and she will not be the last) actress to speak openly about the difficulty of escaping the figures that the profession has long assumed as its own. In the men’s section we have examples such as Jake Gyllenhaal and Robert Pattinsonwho admitted to having a very bad time in the past getting rid of his darker characters. How could it be otherwise in such a chameleon profile, the 13-time Grammy winner had similar problems before being directed by Todd Phillips.
In his latest interview to promote Joker: Folie à DeuxLady Gaga spoke about how for her this sequel meant a huge change in the way she puts herself in the characters’ shoes. So even though the roles stayed with him long after he finished a star is born (2018) and The Gucci house (2021), is now in “a new place” with a new approach to the game.
“I didn’t bring her home, that’s for sure,” he began, explaining to the magazine People. Although he undoubtedly doesn’t completely abandon them due to the emotional involvement and passionate empathy he feels towards them all. “I always fell in love with them anyway.”he admitted. Likewise, he also recalled that he sometimes found it difficult to leave the characters, but that it is something he is trying to change:
“I have been working in the music industry since I was a teenager and I have been working in the film industry for around ten years. And you know, I think I’ve been through a lot. I feel much better now and it’s good to be able to say that. “I’m really grateful to be able to say that.”
Since her debut on celluloid, Gaga has always been accompanied by great male co-stars. From Copper himself, through Adam Pilote until reaching the recent Phoenix. An artistic dependence which does not devalue his projection as a star of interpretation, but which will require a future profession in which he is the absolute protagonist to find out if she is capable of carrying out audiovisual projects alone.
