Step aside, Lady Gaga! Ellen DeGeneres is here to steal the spotlight in A Star Is Born. In a hilarious parody trailer on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Ellen takes on Gaga’s role as Ally, but with a twist – as a country cowgirl complete with a washboard instrument and pigtails. Bradley Cooper remains as Jackson Maine, but Ellen’s playful rendition of their iconic scene falls short. The comedic brilliance continues as Ellen lip syncs to Gaga’s “Shallow,” culminating in a solo dance as the film’s title appears on screen. Ellen’s humorous take on the beloved film is sure to leave fans in stitches.
Gaga made a surprise appearance on DeGeneres’ show to watch the trailer for “A Star Is Born.” During the interview, Gaga talked about how she dyed her hair blonde as soon as filming ended to help her disconnect from her character. She confessed that it was hard to let go of the emotional journey she went through while playing the role. Gaga revealed that even though she changed her appearance, a part of her character still lives on inside her heart.
During the interview, Lady Gaga shared details about her friendship with Bradley Cooper and how they connected off-screen. She mentioned how comfortable and caring Cooper is, and how they bonded over being from the East coast and having Italian roots. Gaga recalled a moment when they sang together at the piano, with Cooper’s soulful voice leaving her amazed. Moving on to a fun game of Burning Questions, Gaga revealed some personal preferences, like her favorite body part (nose) and favorite way to sleep (nude). When asked about her first Hollywood crush, Gaga surprised everyone by admitting that it was Adrien Brody, rather than the typical heartthrobs like George Clooney. Host Ellen DeGeneres shared that her first crush was Michael Jackson, adding a nostalgic touch to the conversation.
