And on The Graham Norton Show on Thursday, Lady Gaga revealed that she felt ‘no pressure’ in living up to the hype when choosing her next film, House of Gucci.

She continued: ‘I read the script and thought it really fascinating and interesting and then I met Ridley Scott and I was so excited to work with [co-star] Adam [Driver].’ 

Lady Gaga received widespread acclaim for her role as struggling artist Ally in 2018 film A Star is Born, where she falls in love with seasoned musician Jackson Maine, played by Bradley Cooper.  

The Bad Romance singer worked with big-name stars in House of Gucci, including Al Pacino, and admitted to host Graham that the experience was a rollercoaster of emotions.

‘It was terrifying, exciting, amazing, it’s Al Pacino! He entirely transformed the landscape of acting in cinema and I have admired him for a long time,’ she said.

The role also required Lady Gaga to speak in an Italian accent, and proving just how dedicated she was, she stayed in the accent for ‘the whole of filming’. 

‘I started in the voice six months before we started shooting and I stayed in it for the whole of filming, which I am sure was super annoying for Adam. For me I thought it was harder to go in and out, so I stayed in character,’ she said. 

Lady Gaga stunned for her appearance on the talk show, opting for a slinky black mini dress with silver embellishment and sky-high black heels.

Her blonde tresses were styled in a statement up-do with several long tendrils left out to frame her face, and her makeup was ultra glamorous with a smoky eye.    

The film is based on Sara Gay Forden’s novel titled The House of Gucci: A Sensational Story of Murder, Madness, Glamour, and Greed.   

Set in Italy, the story explores three decades of numerous themes, including love, betrayal and revenge.

Significantly depicted during the course of the film is the aftermath of the 1995 murder of Maurizio Gucci (played by Adam Driver), the Italian businessman and head of the fashion house Gucci, by his ex-wife Patrizia (played by Lady Gaga). 

Jared Leto will play vice-president of the luxury fashion house Paolo Gucci, cousin of Maurizio, while Al Pacino will portray Aldo Gucci, the company’s chairman from 1953 to 1986.  

The cold-blooded murder of fashion scion Maurizio in 1995 shocked the world – especially when his glamorous ex-wife Patrizia was found guilty of arranging it.

During the murder trial, which transfixed Italy, Patrizia arrived each day wearing head-to-toe Gucci clothes and accessories.

The court heard how she had ordered the murder of her husband after he offered her $650,000 in a divorce settlement.  

She was initially sentenced to 29 years in 1998, which was reduced to 26 on appeal. She served 18 – with her pet ferret Bambi as a companion for some of the time – before being released in October 2014.

Well-known for her luxury lifestyle, Patrizia once said: ‘I’d rather cry in a Rolls than be happy on a bicycle’ and turned down the offer of day release while in prison because it would have meant doing ‘menial’ work.

House of Gucci is set for release on November 26.
