I had no idea she hung upside down for 45 minutes in the Louvre wearing bondage gear at midnight on Halloween in tribute of McQueen

Yeah, I saw some pictures of it years ago, but I didn’t know anything about it. She’s completely nude and photographed by the artist, you can find it kind of easily in Google Images. But you know, are we surprised? After all, we’re talking about LG

Yeah it's an amazing piece of work. The video of it played at the ARTRave opening https://vimeo.com/260769735.

There is also a video somewhere of her crying and nervous as they're wrapping her up ready to lift her but I can't remember where to find it.

Key takeaways:

1. She wants to write a musical for Broadway soon

2. Bobby wants her next movie to be a romantic comedy

3. Shes open to the idea of starring in a superhero movie

4. She has been receiving scripts and talking to producers/directors about future projects.

A rom-com, yes! Something FUN for a change. Gaga has chemistry with a tree so, why not. 🙂

A superhero movie? Marvelous!

Wow she got so animated when she spoke about writing her own musical some day! 

Once a theater kid, always a theater kid... She'll do Broadway sooner or later. 

Gaga told Lin-Manuel Miranda back in 2018 that she would love to do Broadway. She's seen Rent like 30 times 🙂 and almost got cast in the domestic tour of Rent (as Maureen!) but she was too young.

She said she went to Circle in the Square Theatre School and thought about writing a musical called "Circle in the Square" and wrote one song for it. She had a couple ideas for a musical.

So they did shoot a scene about Patrizia's brain tumour but didn't include it 

I read somewhere they did the hospital scene near the end of the shoot. 

My guess is they didn't want the audience to feel (too) bad for Patrizia. She's a murderer, after all.

It could reverse the roles of the woman and the man, but also instead of an older guy swooning over a young woman it’s an older gal swooning over a young man (talking about ageism). The movie brings up politics in a way that brings both Democrats and republicans together. (Imagine Gaga jokingly playing a conservative southern power CEO). 

The Proposal starring Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds? 🙂

Kind of worrying that she needed a nurse with her ☹️

I wish people talked about the fact that she made it public that she had a psychiatric nurse with her, to ensure her safety. I feel bad for her, I hope that she will find ways in in acting where she’s not wrecking her mental health. I feel for her.

I hope too. But she is working on it...she will get there. We do know she has mental health problems, but look at her! She is working on them, i feel that she knows more and more about her struggles now, she pushes herself but knows her limits and knows to reach for help when it's needed. It's not only acting, like she said, it's the way she is and her relationship with art and suffering. I feel for her too, it's unfortunate, that she has to deal with so  concerning health problems, but somehow I'm extremely proud and positive about how she is handling herself this days. 

I wouldn't worry too much. Gaga said she had a psychotic break in 2017. She was on psychiatric watch for a couple years. As she said, there's no cure for mental illness, but there are treatments. 

She said medication really helped her. And DBT therapy and meditation. With the support of her psychiatric TEAM, she's able to do the things she loves! 

This is her second leading role. Sooner or later she'll figure out how to switch in and out of character like her veteran co-stars!

I actually find it interesting because this does come across as more "Gaga" than the ASIB era. She seems passionate, as you said, and sincere and comfortable with herself. And the bits about rom coms, etc. were fun.

and yet film twitter just hones in on the mental health stuff and drags her for filth (when they were mostly like...pro Gaga during the ASIB era). then again, that's twitter...always ready to drag someone.

Such a great interview. It's so nice to see her so passionate and alive talking about her own art and art in general. This really felt like an honest conversation and not just promo. So happy to see her like this again.

Night and day. Gaga was a shadow of herself on the ASIB press tour. She was struggling with DEPRESSION (2018/2019), crying on Bradley's shoulder, or Sam's, or Sarah Paulson's... 

And she gave Bradley ALL THE CREDIT... Some journalists were like, "Lady Gaga Needs to Stop Giving Bradley Cooper All the Credit for A Star Is Born!" 🙂

By contrast, Gaga sounded like her old self on the Gucci press tour. She talked about her research and acting process. She praised Ridley but gave herself some credit... 

She's back!!

I'm only surprised that it has never been mentioned on GGD, and I've been lurking on this site since late 2013 and yet no-one has ever discussed it. I learned a lot about Gaga on this site, users here have brought up her swinefest SXSW vomit performance quite a lot, the ArtRave, the Volantis dress, her Marina Abrahamovic thingy in the forest, her failed attempt at performing in outer space, her failed vision for her original 2013 bloody VMA performance...but this is the first time anyone has brought up her dangling upside down at the Louvre. The ARTPOP era was something else

I agree 100%. 2016 she was dealing with breaking up with her Fiancé & Sonja passed 2017 so she’s been dealing with personal issues for multiple years now 😩 She did have a HUGE mental breakdown at the end of 2017 when that deposition triggered her psychotic break. She cancelled the rest of Joanne tour and was in a psychiatric facility for a year where she explained on Oprah that she was severely depressed/self harming & suicidal 😭 even the following year where she was promoting and winning awards for ASIB was a hard time for as she said she didn’t come out of the depression for 2 & 1/2 years, that’s why 2018, 2019 & beginning of 2020 while promoting Chromatica she did not seem happy and always referenced how dark of a time it was when she was writing & recording chromatica. This is why we can see she avoids chromatica to a certain extent as she says the songs are depressing and maybe they bring her back to that bad place she was in. Anyways that’s just insight for those who didn’t know what she’s been going through the past couple of years. As she said it’s a very thin line between being happy & being depressed/suicidal for her as all it takes is her PTSD getting triggered but with her medication and psychiatric doctors we THANK GOD she seems happy and passionate right now and more animated/excited like her old self ❤️ She’s in a stable relationship, thriving at work (jazz album/HOG) and has an amazing team/friends around her that look for her best interest

I think I've seen a handful of threads about it over the years, but you're right it's pretty overlooked. It might be because the conversation focus is usually on the graphic verse she recites from 120 Days of Sodom over the video clip. That scarred me a bit, ngl  (Don't look deep into what this book is about if you might be triggered by s*xual ass*alt.)
