Lady Gaga Says She Wrote an 80-Page Biography of Patrizia Gucci
That's one way to prepare for a role!
Lady Gaga revealed that she wrote an 80-page biography of Patrizia Gucci to prepare for her role in House of Gucci and fans are stunned.
Speaking with The Project, Gaga talked about her dedication to the film, which allegedly included staying in character for 18 months and hanging onto the accent she used in the film for 9 months.
“I lived inside of the character and inside this world of the Guccis for so long because I love art, I love the nature of the type of acting that I like to do, and I stayed with her so that when I was on set or off set, it was this fluid life,” she explained. “This is something that makes me excited as an actor.”
But Gaga dove into some homework before even getting to the point of trying out an accent or stepping into Patrizia’s shoes.
“I wrote like an 80-page biography about her myself,” she admitted. “And it was something that I worked off of and I read all the time to just get the story, her backstory, inside of me.”

Some doubted her claim or threw shade over what they perceived to be a ridiculous decision.
\u201cyou wrote an 80 page biography but couldn't take the time to write our your entire name on the autographed Chromatica CDs? @ladygaga\u201d— Will (@Will) 1639355179
\u201c\u201cthere could be an 80-page biography in the room, but i\u2019m still gonna pick the wrong accent\u201d - lady gaga\u201d— hennywise the clown (@hennywise the clown) 1639362924
But other fans praised Gaga for showing up and doing the work, regardless of how they felt about the film itself.
\u201c@PrivateNegroux @FilmUpdates How is writing an 80 page biography a stretch? Especially for preparing for a film role? The amount of lyrics and scripts she memorizes makes that more than acceptable.\u201d— Film Updates (@Film Updates) 1639336821
\u201cPeople have gone through drastic body transformations, learned to dance/fight for countless film roles. Yet, using writing as a way of research for a character that spans 3 decades sounds dishonest?\u201d— \u8449 (@\u8449) 1639355798
\u201cThis is something our drama teacher had us do in high school. Of course it wasn\u2019t 80 pages but still. People keep exaggerating common acting techniques whenever she opens her mouth and it\u2019s really silly. Do you guys think actors just show up and wing it or something?\u201d— josh (@josh) 1639356635
\u201cidk why people are angry that an actor is taking acting seriously\u2026like damn she didn\u2019t make YOU write an 80 page biography it\u2019s just her method. \n\nIf it bothers you that much look at the sun, the sky, the birds omg\u201d— Vicc (@Vicc) 1639363987
At the end of the day, you gotta respect the dedication, and Lady Gaga is, and always has been, nothing if not completely dedicated to every choice she makes — no matter how insane it may seem to the rest of the world.
