Gaga on playing Patrizia (Highlights from Vogue)

[Mother of Puppies 36,441]

This is sooooo interesting

 

“It is three years since I started working on it,” she launches in on House of Gucci, “and I will be fully honest and transparent: I lived as her [Reggiani] for a year and a half. And I spoke with an accent for nine months of that.” Off camera, too? “Off camera,” she confirms, solemnly. “I never broke. I stayed with her.”

 

It was nearly impossible for me to speak in the accent as a blonde,” she continues.

 

Gaga was riveted: “I became fascinated with the journey of this woman.” She spent more than a year poring over newspaper clippings and recordings of Reggiani, although, tellingly, she did not read Sara Gay Forden’s The House of Gucci: A Sensational Story of Murder, Madness, Glamour, and Greed, the 2000 book on which the film is based. “I did not want anything that had an opinion that would colour my thinking in any way.”

 

 

I wouldn't have thought that she didn't read the book whereas the whole forum read it lol

 

And the way she comitted herself

 

says she had gone so deep with the part she began to lose touch with reality. “I had some psychological difficulty at one point towards the end of filming,” she explains, taking care with her words. “I was either in my hotel room, living and speaking as Reggiani, or I was on set, living and speaking as her. I remember I went out into Italy one day with a hat on to take a walk. I hadn’t taken a walk in about two months and I panicked.” She could no longer compute the real world. “I thought I was on a movie set.”

 

Imagine being in italy and you see Gaga passing by
