Lady Gaga’s controversial “Judas” music video is finally here complete with biker gangs, lingerie, and a crown of thorns. The video’s second biggest star ‘The Walking Dead’s Norman Reedus who plays Judas, dished on the behind-the-scenes shenanigans of the video making. Check out some highlights:
How Reedus came to the role of Judas…
“I was in Los Angeles doing a movie called Hello Herman and I had a weekend off and it just sort of fit together. I jumped at the chance. I thought it would be fun. I don’t know who first had me in mind, but I didn’t audition. I just kind of showed up.”
He’s a Gaga fan himself…
Her videos are cool. I’m a fan of what she does. I like people who push the envelope. We have a lot of mutual friends in New York and everyone says good things about her. I was just excited to work with her. I’ve seen her performances and she’s super talented and she always goes for it. Her work ethic was completely infectious. I felt so lazy around her. That girl is a machine.”
What working with Gaga was really like…
“It was late at night and I could barely keep my eyes open and the directors were like, ‘OK, Gaga, dance with all the guys!’ And she’s out there doing her thing, nonstop sweating. And then they’re like, ‘Dance with all the girls!’ and then ‘Dance solo!’ And she’s doing it and I was like, ‘If this little girl can get up and do all that, than I can walk around and look mean.”
More Lady Gaga behind-the-scenes…
“She’s the coolest girl ever. She’s super chill, she’s very into what she’s doing, and she’s very personable with everyone around her. Her work ethic is nonstop. It’s kind of amazing to watch. She’s actually just super cool and she’s just a chick from New York.”
