Lady Gaga’s Shocking Update About ‘House Of Gucci’—We Did Not See This Coming!

Lady Gaga may be receiving rave reviews for her portrayal of Patrizia Reggiani in Ridley Scott’s House of Gucci, but the high praise seems to have come at a cost. According to a new interview with Variety, the 35-year-old singer and actress was so committed to her role of the Black Widow, it actually started to affect her mental health – so much so, she had to seek the help of a psychiatric nurse, who she even brought onto the movie’s set! Wow!

“I had a psychiatric nurse with me towards the end of filming,” the Oscar-winner told the publication. “I sort of felt like I had to. I felt that it was safer for me. That’s because I was always Patrizia. I always spoke in my accent. And even if I was speaking about things that weren’t related to the movie — I wasn’t pretending that Maurizio was waiting for me downstairs — I was still living my life. I just lived it as her.”

We aren’t surprised to hear this, as she previously confessed that she transformed herself into Reggiani for many months before they even started filming, and even spoke in an Italian accent when the cameras stopped rolling. For her cover interview for the December issue of British Vogue, Gaga said: “It is three years since I started working on it, and I will be fully honest and transparent. I lived as 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.”

And the singer known to her fans as Mother Monster has once again spoken about how Reggiani remained with her – which wasn’t easy! “I brought the darkness with me home because her life was dark,” she told Variety, adding that she is making this heart-breaking confession not for further praise, but because she thinks there’s a fine line between what actors should and shouldn’t do for a role, and in hindsight, she admits that she may have gone a bit too far!
