Pop star Lady Gaga has apparently also demanded a lot psychologically from her role in the new film "House of Gucci".

She got so involved in her role as Patrizia Reggiani in the star-studded drama that she lost touch with reality, Gaga told British Vogue.

“At some point towards the end of the shooting, I had psychological problems,” said the actress (“A Star Is Born”), whose real name is Stefani Germanotta: “I was either in my hotel room and lived and spoke as Reggiani, or I was on Set, lived and spoke as she. «During a private walk in Italy, Gaga panicked because she could no longer distinguish between the film set and reality.

Ridley Scott's crime film "House of Gucci", which deals with the murder of fashion entrepreneur Maurizio Gucci, is due to hit US cinemas on November 24th and will open in Germany on December 2nd.

In addition to Lady Gaga as Lady Gucci, the film also stars Adam Driver as Maurizio Gucci and Al Pacino as his uncle Aldo Gucci.

26 years imprisonment

Maurizio Gucci was shot dead in the street outside his office in Milan on March 27, 1995.

At the beginning of 1997 Reggiani was imprisoned as a mastermind, in the second instance she was sentenced in 2000 to 26 years imprisonment.

Reggiani could not bear to have been abandoned by her husband and to have lost her social status as a jet set queen, it was said at the time.

She herself always protested her innocence and spoke of a "conspiracy" against her by the four people who were also convicted in the case, including the killer Benedetto Ceraulo.
