Lady Gaga reveals how it felt to have to leave her character and what it was like to "be her again."

The <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/lady-gaga-house-of-gucci-movie-plot-cast-trailer-details" target="_blank" rel="noopener">House of Gucci</a> movie is buzzing! With a team of talented actors and a story that takes us backstage at one of the most acclaimed fashion houses in the world, being a part of this grandiose project can be life-changing for an artist, and that's exactly what happened to <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/art/lady-gaga-selling-champagne-sculptures" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lady Gaga</a>. The singer and actress, who plays <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/lady-gaga-house-of-gucci-controversy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Patrizia Reggiani</a>, recently revealed that she even felt like her character did and that the best moment in her life was &ldquo;being a Gucci."
Last month, Gaga revealed in an interview with <a href="https://www.vogue.co.uk/arts-and-lifestyle/article/lady-gaga-interview" target="_blank" rel="noopener">British Vogue</a> that she had lived as the character for a year and a half, using an Italian accent for nine months. But, his connection with Reggiani went far beyond that.

"I was in a very complicated situation in my life when this script came to me," revealed the actress, in an interview with the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2021/11/11/movies/lady-gaga-ridley-scott-house-of-gucci.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Times</a>. The project was impactful for Gaga and, in the interview, she even admitted that she had never had a better experience with a director, referring to Ridley Scott.
When asked how she felt about leaving the character, Gaga responds, "To be honest, I was really ready to leave her. [Patrizia] is an extremely complicated person and when you're living in survival mode all the time&mdash;and she was always in survival mode&mdash;it creates a feeling of constant trauma.&rdquo; According to the actress, when she returned to Los Angeles, she threw away her cigarettes, stopped drinking, and cleaned up her life. &ldquo;It was killing me because it was killing her."

According to Gaga, it's very exciting to be yourself again. &ldquo;I play with Ridley all the time, but I actually experienced some kind of attachment panic when I left the set, I missed him so much,&rdquo; he explained. "I felt like Patrizia did, a life without Gucci was not a life worth living."
So she reveals more about that feeling &ldquo;the best moment in [Patrizia's] life was being Gucci, and I can tell you, as I finish this movie, that the best moment in my life was being Gucci. That's how art and life line up. Ridley's life is a masterpiece and you're lucky if you get to be a part of it.&rdquo;
