AceShowbiz - Lady GaGa was under no pressure when it came to selecting her big-screen follow-up to "A Star Is Born".

The actress earned acclaim for her performance in the film alongside Bradley Cooper and scooped the Oscar for Best Original Song for 'Shallow' at the 2019 Academy Awards.

Speaking on Britain's "The Graham Norton Show", the star opened up on her latest project, "House of Gucci", and insisted she didn't place any expectations on herself going into filming.

"I didn't feel the pressure at all. I only work on things I believe in," explained Gaga of her role as Patrizia Reggiani in the biographical crime drama.

"I read the script and thought it really fascinating and interesting and then I met Ridley Scott and I was so excited to work with Adam (Driver, co-star)."

Al Pacino also appears in the movie and the "Stupid Love" hitmaker admitted the experience prompted a rollercoaster of emotions.

"It was terrifying, exciting, amazing, it's Al Pacino! He entirely transformed the landscape of acting in cinema and I have admired him for a long time," she said.

The role also required the singer-turned-actress to speak in an Italian accent - and she kept up the habit for "the whole of filming."

"I started on the voice six months before we started shooting and I stayed in it for the whole of filming, which I am sure was super annoying for Adam," Gaga laughed.

"For me I thought it was harder to go in and out, so I stayed in character."
