They lean more towards the Arabs aka Caucasians. The Egyptians as a people, yes. But for the pharaos it actually changed a lot from dynasty to dynasty... but Cleopatra was surely Greek/Macedonian so no problem for Gags ☄️ Before there was love, there was silence 🌌 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LynpheaStar 886 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 y'all cleopatra was greek. Gaga has south-italian origins, it wouldnt be too far off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hankhatesyouall 2,731 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 The fact that people are worried about the backlash even when there's only a modicum of a possibility that Gaga would actually snatch that role. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaryJaneHolland 77,348 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Really? Cleopatra wasn't even black. The only "backlash" would come from dumb people who either haven't gone to school or are too lazy to do a very quick Google research. Is this how shook the 'cancel culture' has got us? Damn Oh, and I'm glad Gaga is picky and fights for her roles. Ain't nobody got time for low budget flop movies (even tho one will happen sooner or later ) and a filmography full of duds.

Retron 2,605 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 This is a bust of Cleopatra found in Rome, thought to be created when she visited. So, it was likely created by a highly skilled artist, and is therefore quite accurate. .........Give Gaga the role. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They lean more towards the Arabs aka Caucasians. The demography changed with the expansion of islam in the middle ages (VII century iirc), so Cleopatra lived long before that happened. I agree with you regarding Gaga and the role, don't get me wrong, but this is also a fact we need to take into account and a lot of people decide to ignore when it comes to modern representations of the Ancient Egyptian. In conclusion, there was a lot of mixture there but the possibility that the average egyptian people back then were more "african" than the average egyptian today, is very likely. Hope I didn't got anything wrong. 18 minutes ago, Retron said: This is a bust of Cleopatra found in Rome, thought to be created when she visited.

FarixGaga 15,546 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Lady Gaga also has her big ass nose on her side since Cleopatra apparently had one as well, so the role is definitely hers. Queen of getting roles because of her nose JC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
