Directed by Ridley Scott, the film based on the book of the same name features an all-star cast including Adam Driver, Al Pacino, Jared Leto, Salma Hayek, and Jeremy Irons in a retelling of the infamous murder case that has left the audience shocked. Gave. Italy and its fashion industry in the 1990s.
Donning an Italian accent, Gaga played Patrizia Regiani, who married into the Gucci family in 1972 when she married heiress Maurizio Gucci. They got divorced in 1994.
A year later, Maurizio was shot and killed by a man outside his Milan office. Regiani spent 18 years in prison for committing his murder and was released in 2016.
When asked if she’d been in character for 18 months, Gaga said on the red carpet: “I really feel in some ways that my process has been sensationalized into something, but I love my work and my process.” I don’t like to lie about. So what I will say is this: I am a romantic when it comes to art.
“I had a romantic relationship with my character, Patrizia. I had a romantic relationship with the script and I came to this world for the first time because he is nothing like me… I don’t know where the 18 months came from. Nine months, yes, but twice that, I don’t know.”
The role follows Gaga’s critically acclaimed performance in “A Star Is Born”, for which she won an Oscar for Best Original Song and a Best Actress nomination for “Shallow”.
Leto plays Maurizio’s cousin Paolo Gucci in the film and is completely unrecognizable.
“The make-up and hair took about six hours,” she said, adding that she looked to Gucci’s current creative director Alessandro Michele for inspiration for her accent.
“When you hear the voice, you can hear Alessandro there too,” he said.
“House of Gucci” begins its cinema rollout from November 24.
