She recently toldThe New York Timesthat working with Ridley Scott onHouse of Gucciwas unparalleled, praising the director for his collaborative approach to filmmaking.
“I’ve never had a better experience with a director,” she said during a joint interview with Scott, 83. “He loves artists, and some directors don’t. They love themselves.”
Gaga said Scott, 83, helped shape her character — a woman who marries into the Gucci empire and then is dropped from the fashion family when her husband leaves her for another woman — because he made her feel “empowered … as a woman.”
“I have to say this, Ridley: There’s not a lot of men that are directors who would empower a woman to be ugly on camera,” Gaga said. “When I aged and had scenes where I was in this embarrassing, desperate state, he embraced the ugliness of this character and that should be commended, because it is ugly to be disposed of for your looks, it is ugly to be left for a younger woman.”
