Lady Gaga wants Marisa Tomei to play her, and that makes me love both of them even more than I did — which I did not know was even possible.
The “Born This Way” singer was on “The Morning Mash Up!” today, on SiriusXM, and she went all kinds of casting director on them. When asked if somebody were to make a movie on the life story of Lady Gaga, who would you want to play Lady Gaga?
The singer said, “I’ve always been a big fan of Rosario Dawson. Oh, you know what, I would have Marisa Tomei play me. I am such a Marisa Tomei fan. All my friends call me Marisa when I get angry. Because my New York accent just flies out of my body and I start smacking my gum.”
I feel like that would be a tough part to nail, but who knows, it could be Marisa’s shot at finally getting another and more well deserved Oscar.
The Morning Mash Up! airs Monday-Friday from 6:00 am ET – noon ET on SiriusXM Hits 1, Sirius channel 1, and XM’s 20 on 20, XM channel 20.
