As she continues to sell millions of albums all around the world, Lady Gaga has actually built a rather impressive acting résumé as well. Following roles in American Horror Story: Hotel and A Star Is Born, Lady Gaga has been nominated for and won Academy and Golden Globe Awards. Up next, the multitalented performer will star in Ridley Scott’s Gucci. As first reported by Deadline, big-name actors Adam Driver, Jared Leto, Al Pacino, and Robert De Niro are all in negotiations to join the singer in the cast as well.

Additionally, Jack Huston (Boardwalk Empire) and Reeve Carney (Gemini) are circling roles in the film as well. Gaga will play Patrizia Reggiani, the ex-wife of fashion powerhouse Maurizio Gucci.
