In her first movie role, the New York-born
musician behind hits like "Born This Way" and "Bad Romance"
plays a struggling singer called Ally who has a chance meeting
and intense romance with country star Jackson Maine, played by
Bradley Cooper.
"When I decided that I really wanted to go for it as a musician,
as a singer, as a songwriter when I was 19, I hit the ground
running. I was dragging my piano around New York City, banging
down doors and I really believed in myself," Gaga told Reuters
Television at a red carpet event in London.
"Ally is not that way. Ally has completely given up on herself.
She is in her 30s, she is jaded by the music industry, having
people telling her she is not beautiful enough, that she could
never make it. It is Jackson's love for her that brings her back
to life," she said.
Gaga, 32, soared to fame 10 years ago with catchy dance songs,
provocative outfits and elaborate stage shows that brought her
six Grammy Awards.
Her performance in "A Star is Born" has earned rave reviews and
she is being tipped as a likely Golden Globe and Oscar
contender.
But Gaga on Thursday played down the accolades.
"The reward for me is in the artistic experience of creating
this film. All we can hope for is that the film touches people's
lives," she said.
"A Star is Born," which Cooper also directed, begins its
worldwide rollout on Oct. 3.
