Lady Gaga admits in the interview: “At some point towards the end of the shooting I had psychological difficulties.”
Gaga continues: “I was either in my hotel room and lived and spoke as Reggiani, or I was on the set, lived and spoke as her.”
During a private walk in Italy, Gaga panicked because she could no longer distinguish between the film set and reality.
Ridley Scott directed “House of Gucci”. The film starts on December 2nd in Germany.
