Angela Bassett has dished on her experience working with Lady Gaga on the set of American Horror Story. "She's a good kisser," the Emmy-nominated actress said of Gaga during an interview with Access Hollywood.
On the show, Bassett plays Ramona Royale, a powerful woman who teams up with Donovan (Matt Bomer) to take revenge on Gaga's character, The Countess, whom she previously had a romantic relationship with.
"First time I met her, she had a party for the cast and crew," Angela recalled. "She was in this beautiful gown that was sort of see-though and vintage and a diamond necklace and I'm just trying to be cool. She said, 'Are you nervous? I hear you are nervous.' I said, 'Yes.' She said, 'Don't be nervous. I know about these things. I have been there.' I was like, 'Okay!'"
She continued: "Then she brought me out a birthday cake because it happened to be my birthday. And what she was doing to me on this cake... it was an X rated cake!"
Angela admitted that she had been unsure what to expect from filming with a superstar like Gaga, but was pleasantly surprised when she got to meet her.
"She's the nicest person. She is warm and gracious and funny. She makes everybody feel comfortable and she's comfortable with herself. So, no one is tripping, except for me. They said cut and I jumped and she said, 'That's the fastest anyone has jumped out of the bed with me!' and then I grabbed her and kissed her," Bassett said.
