Lady Gaga revealed she spoke in an Italian accent with her own mother Cynthia in order to remain in-character as Patrizia Regianni during filming for House Of Gucci.
The singer, 35, told Alison Hammond during an appearance on Thursday's This Morning that she took the role home with her due to her dedication.
She said: 'That's just the way that I do it. You live in an alternate reality so when I was at the hotel, I was in character.
Wow! Lady Gaga revealed she spoke in an Italian accent with her own mother Cynthia in order to remain in-character as Patrizia Regianni during filming for House Of Gucci
'And then I would go to set and I would still be in character, so my life really became the film. My recollection of the filming of this movie feels like real life.'
Slipping into her Italian accent, she added: 'I called everybody in my life. I used to call my mother and I would talk to her this way.'
Despite winning an Oscar for her role in 2016's A Star Is Born, Gaga's attempt at the country's pronunciation was recently panned by the movie's dialect coach.

Italian actress Francesca De Martini spoke to The Daily Beast about the Bad Romance singer's transformation into Patrizia, who famously hired a hitman to murder her ex-husband, Maurizio Gucci, in 1995.
Clearly unconvinced, Francesca, who auditioned for roles in the movie before coming back as a vocal coach, said of Gaga: 'I feel bad saying this, but her accent is not exactly an Italian accent, it sounds more Russian'.
Francesca also spoke of working with Salma Hayek, saying: 'What happened was this: Salma shot for one day and then asked for a dialogue coach. I think she heard the accent wasn't right and she was worried — she wanted to do well.'

Gaga has spoken at length about her transformation into Patrizia and using the accent for an entire nine months to remain in character.
She previously said: 'I started in 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 [Driver] For me I thought it was harder to go in and out, so I stayed in character'.
