Lady Gaga had a dream to be an actress before she aspired to become a singer

At Monday night’s premiere of A Star Is Born, Gaga revealed her childhood dream to become an actress and the one thing that kept her from achieving it. “I couldn’t make it as an actress, I was bad at auditioning,” the singer told E! News’ Giuliana Rancic. “I never got a job.”

The most challenging part of this process for me was being as vulnerable as the character needed… but he (Bradley Cooper) made me feel so comfortable,” she said.

She added, “He challenged me in ways I’ve never been challenged before and I am so so grateful to him for that.”
