Lady Gaga is making a big beeline for the small screen.
Mother Monster is set to play The Countess in ‘American Horror Story: Hotel’ and prepares the masses by appearing as her character a-front of Entertainment Weekly.
Lensed by Michael Avedon, the cover shoot aims to build buzz ahead of the return of the Ryan Murphy series on October 7th.
Read on to see what the celebrated TV show creator had to say about working with Gaga, as well as how she landed her role…
Via EW:
It’s not every day you get a cold call from Lady Gaga, even when you’re Ryan Murphy (Glee, American Horror Story). “I was at a construction site and my phone rang,” he recalls. “I didn’t recognize the number. [I answer and] I hear ‘Please hold for Gaga.’ I think ‘Bad Romance’ was playing [while I was on hold],” he adds with a laugh. “Then she got on the phone. At first I thought it was a prank, but we then had a lovely call.”
A big fan of the series, Gaga (who cites Freak Show was her favorite season) confirmed the story, adding:
“I called him and I said, ‘Ryan, I wanna be on Horror Story.’ And he goes, ‘Okay.’ And that was it.”
Folk can tune in to ‘American Horror Story: Hotel’ October 7th on FX to find out how she does.
