Cheyenne Jackson on his first day of filming “American Horror Story: Hotel” and meeting Lady Gaga for the first time:
“I remember my first day on set, it was so intimidating. And I was so nervous about meeting Gaga because I just wanted to, you know, I was really prepared. I knew what I wanted to do, but I just wanted to impress her. And I didn't want to come off too eager. So I remember somebody said, you know, Gaga wants to meet you. So I was like, OK, I got myself together and I walked in the sound stage and she was kind of behind the scrim. So dramatic. And I go around the corner and she's like fully in costume, lit cigarette, like full. And she was like, ‘Will Drake, I was wondering when we were going to meet you’ and puts her hand out for me to kiss it. And I was like, Oh, is this bitch in character right now? Am I going to? Is this what I have to? Oh, my God, this is not what I planned. So in my mind, I was like, and so I like started to do like a weird bow and like kind of kiss her hand. And she's like, ‘I'm just fucking with you. My name is Stefani’. She was and continues to be just an incredible theater chick. She’s just cool as fuck.”
