In House of Gucci, Lady Gaga’s character, Patrizia Reggiani, is famous for two reasons.
So in a way, I took my time to erase the things that I do so that I could study the way that she talked, so that it would be authentic and real and and specific.
I think that Patrizia was really intrigued that Maurizio didn’t want to be part of the family business because she grew up with so much less than him.
I found this character and I read it and I talked to Ridley, and Ridley said to me, “She really loved him.” And then I thought to myself, “that I know how to do,” meaning to play a killer and to simply play something that lacks dynamics where you just play an evil person for the duration of the film.
I do think that that was the hat trick with this movie is that there was heart put into this film, and I think it could have easily been just something that was compelling to watch.
