In the past few years, Lady Gaga has become just as well-known for her impressive acting credentials as her stratospheric pop career and headline-stealing outfits.
And now the breakout star of Netflix’s biggest spooky offering since Stranger Things – Wednesday – has revealed she’d love to have the Shallow singer take part in an upcoming series.
Jenna Ortega was the Golden Globes attendee that EVERYONE was falling over themselves to get a photo with at last night’s awards ceremony, and after Lady Gaga went viral for her recreating of that i-con-ique Wednesday dance on TikTok last month, a Lady Gaga cameo, or even a fully-fledged part, was the next logical step, right?
She’s no stranger to acting in quirky horror productions herself, taking on the role of vampire countess Elizabeth Johnson in series five of American Horror Story: Hotel and murder thriller House of Gucci last year.
When asked by one reporter if she could forsee Lady Gaga being a part of Wednesday in future, Jenna said, ‘I'm sure Netflix would love that.
‘I think Mrs. Thornhill and Wednesday had this weird mentor relationship or kind of understood each other in a certain way, so, if Lady Gaga were to be a part, I think it would have to be two monsters that understand each other.’
She also shared a sweet story of when Lady Gaga sent her a personalised video – way before she was THE name in celeb-land – but said she hadn’t been in touch since her viral TikTok video.
‘You know what's funny [with] Lady Gaga?’ she said. ‘A long time ago, I worked with a hairdresser that used to work with her, and I'd just seen Lady Gaga in concert in Boston a couple of years before, and she'd made me a video saying, “Hey Jenna, I heard you're a fan.” It was a really sweet video. I doubt she had any idea who I was back then, but to see her do [the Wednesday dance on TikTok] now, it's one of those moments you acknowledge life changes really fast. It's crazy.’
There’s no doubt Gaga is well aware of who Jenna is now – along with every other massive A-List name on last night’s red carpet. Stars like Margot Robbie, Selena Gomez and Anna Taylor-Joy, who was nominated for best actress in a musical or comedy, were quite literally queueing up to get a photo with her.
