Lady Gaga Reflects On The Mistake She Made In Her Acting Debut On 'The Sopranos'

Lady Gaga got candid as she revisited her acting debut and shared her mistake on her first TV show.

Gaga is making an Oscar buzz for her role in "House of Gucci." The "Poker Face" singer made her acting debut in 2001 on HBO's "The Sopranos." After two decades, she reflected on how she has changed as an actress.

"When I look back on that scene, I can see exactly what I did wrong in that scene," Gaga told Entertainment Weekly about her appearance in the crime drama series. "I didn't know how to listen in a scene! I was supposed to laugh, and it was sort of like, cue, laugh... I see it and I go, 'oh, that's not a real laugh!'"

Gaga proved to everybody that she was a bankable actress when she starred alongside Bradley Cooper in the 2018 movie "A Star Is Born." She won an Oscar for Best Actress Oscar on top of the Best Original Song award. Gaga acknowledged that she has "grown a lot as an actor."

She admitted that she studied her craft and her take on Patrizia Reggiani in Scott Ridley's film "The House of Gucci." She also shared that she has already learned to listen to her co-stars.

"The nuance and being specific as an actor is something that can grow over time if you're willing to listen and really hear the other actor that you're working with," she continued. "I see a very non-specific actor [on 'The Sopranos'], and now I see myself as someone who is at least really striving to be specific without thinking about it, and that requires a lot of work ahead of time."

Gaga thanked her acting teacher, Susan Batson, for her progress as a performer. According to the "American Horror Story" actress, they worked for months before filming her most recent movie.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the "Shallow" hitmaker said she relied on a Stanislavski acting technique by revisiting her memories and channeling her own pain and trauma to portray Reggiani.

"I took the pain I feel from being attacked when I was a young girl, from feeling left behind by people that I love, from feeling trapped that I can't go out into a world that I love," Gaga explained. "I took that pain and I gave it to her. I put my entire lifetime into her."

Meanwhile, the Gucci family slammed Gaga's movie. According to them, the production did not bother to consult them and instead portrayed them as "thugs, ignorant and insensitive to the world around them."

"This is extremely painful from a human point of view and an insult to the legacy on which the brand is built today," the Gucci family said in a statement obtained by Variety.

"House of Gucci" hit theaters on Nov. 24.
