Every so often I am reminded of Lady Gaga’s last interview with British Vogue. Published a week before House of Gucci was released in November 2021, Gaga rolled back the tape on the extreme methods she employed in order to become the murderous socialite Patrizia Gucci. “I was either in my hotel room, living and speaking as Reggiani, or I was on set, living and speaking as her,” she told Vogue’s Giles Hattersley. “I had some psychological difficulty at one point towards the end of filming.”
Gaga has assumed the role of tortured artist on several occasions. This is, after all, the same woman who once claimed to have spent three days encased in the Hussein Chalayan orb that transported her to the 2011 Grammys. “It’s representative of my devotion to my craft,” she said. “I really wanted to be with myself.” And though Gaga requested to be referred to as “Lee” while performing as the psychopathic psychologist Harley Quinn in Joker: Folie à Deux–which is slated for a 3 October release–she this time around seems to have taken a more measured approach to method acting.
