It looks like studying method acting for nearly ten years has made an impact on how Lady Gaga sees herself.

“Arguably, it’s the most dangerous form of acting where you embrace becoming the character and you embrace calling upon memory sensory from your life,” Lady Gaga said in an interview.

And Lady Gaga did indeed embrace her vampire role debut on the drama series, American Horror Story, and says she feels as old as her character even though she’s just 29.

“I feel f**king g old,” she told news.com.au. “I have been in the business since I was 15, and although I have been famous for only seven years and lived 29, I feel like I have lived 100 years.” Despite her feeling of being old, the first episode of the series was the talk of the town mainly because of her blood-soaked orgy scene with Matt Bomer. She also shared a photo of herself topless and covered in blood, captioned, “It’s showtime. #ahshotel TONIGHT”.

Lady Gaga plays a role called the Countess, which was described as “a glamorous but deadly creature who sustains on a healthy diet of sex and blood — she kills with her very fashionable but very sharp chainmail glove”.

Her character also enjoys the company of men, which she says is the exact opposite of her actual self. Lady Gaga claimed she felt isolated as a child and had a hard time fitting in with other people.

“I did feel very isolated as a young person, and not because I was alone or abandoned by my family, it’s just a chemical thing. Some kids are born like that. We don’t know why we feel lonely, but we do. It’s like depression but it’s not because someone neglected me,” lady Gaga said.

She also added that she was sexually abused at the age of 19.

She’s definitely drawing on her difficult life experiences to portray her complex character in the series.
