Lady Gaga says she built a “friendship” with director and co-star Bradley Cooper for her role in “A Star is Born,” which screens at the Toronto film fest. Cooper and actor Dave Chappelle also weighed in on the film on Sunday.
Lady Gaga says artists on the rise need compassion and kindness, and that fame changes the people around them more than the performers themselves.
The pop superstar made the comments at the Toronto International Film Festival while discussing her starring turn in “A Star is Born,” in which she plays a struggling singer whose career takes off.
Bradley Cooper directs and co-stars as a seasoned musician who falls in love with Lady Gaga’s insecure character, Ally, while battling demons of his own.
“I think that fame is very unnatural and we see that Jack is struggling in this film, there’s substance abuse, there’s trauma,” Lady Gaga said Sunday.- The Canadian Press
