More than a year since A Star is Born was released, Lady Gaga finally revealed the truth about the alleged romance between her and her co-star Bradley Cooper. At the time, a lot of people believed that love was born on the set of the movie. Did they really fall in love or they are just acting about it?
Rumors about Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga's romance spread like wildfire after they made their first movie together. The 45-year-old actor's break-up with his longtime girlfriend, Irina Shayk, followed the Mother Monster's separation from her fiancé, Christian Carino, even added fuel to the fire. Add to that their steamy performance at the 2019 Oscar Awards; they managed to convince everyone that they were so in love with each other.
However, in an interview on Oprah Winfrey's first Oprah's 2020 Vision: Your Life in Focus, the 33-year-old hitmaker revealed they only fooled the people into thinking they were so into one another in and outside the movie. "We did a really good job at fooling everyone," she said, via The Sun. "We created that."
Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper played the roles of Ally and Jackson in A Star is Born. In the film, they were two lovers who were so in love with each other and music. With their incredible acting skills, many went to believe that the love story between the two characters was also happening in real life.
Oprah agreed to Lady Gaga's revelation, saying their chemistry wouldn't work if no one believed they were in love with each other. The media mogul went on to say that she also questioned Bradley Cooper about the real score of their alleged relationship.
At the time, Bradley Cooper explained that, if the rumors were true, he could never look Lady Gaga straight in the eye while sitting at that piano during their performance. The hitmaker concurred and said it was "absolutely" the truth.
In an earlier interview with Elle, Lady Gaga explained that they only made a love story. As an actress and performer, they wanted people to believe that their acting was real. They also aimed to make everyone feel that love at the Oscars.
They wanted their made-up feelings to seep through the lens of the camera and every television that they were seen. Lady Gaga also admitted that she and Bradley Cooper worked hard for it and mapped the whole thing out, insisting it was an "orchestrated performance."
