To which Camille Cottin replied: “I would have loved it, but she was very focused, she was in her character. I’m her rival, I’m stealing her husband, so she doesn’t really love me…”, she first said, before telling what the star had one day come to slip quickly into her life. ear: “She was very focused and suddenly, she came to me between two takes, and said to me: ‘You are a beautiful woman and a great actress, and we will be friends at the end of the film. Now hush!’”. Imagining Lady Gaga refusing to speak to Camille Cottin between takes to stay as much as possible in her character made Jimmy Fallon burst out laughing, who said he recognized the diva’s habits well.
“She said, ‘You’re a beautiful woman, you’re a lovely actress and at the end of the movie we’ll be friends.
