Lady Gaga Addresses Plastic Surgery Rumors, Refutes Back On Her Nose Job
During an interview with the reputed media outlet Harper Bazaar in 2011, the Grammy Award winner addressed the rumors about her plastic surgery. She said-
“I have never had plastic surgery, and there are many pop singers who have. I think that promoting insecurity in the form of plastic surgery is infinitely more harmful than an artistic expression related to body modification. I am an artist, and I have the ability and the free will to choose the way the world will envision me.”
The 37-year-old singer refuted the rumors about her rhinoplasty and said-
“I love my Italian nose.”
However, the Poker Face singer openly admitted to getting fillers during a 2013 interview on The Howard Stern Show. She spoke about getting a dermal filler Juvederm around her mouth, lips, and cheeks. She said-
“I would smoke a bunch of joints and have some drinks and I would be like, ‘Oh, let’s go see my girl’ and we would drive to this strip mall and I would get shot up with a bunch of whatever, Juvederm, and then leave,”
However, the singer-turned-actor has always denied going under the knife. She believes in accepting yourself the way you are as that is the most important aspect of self-love.
Lady Gaga Talks About Body Insecurities and Self-Acceptance
During an interview with the famous media outlet Allure in 2019, Lady Gaga spoke about battling body image insecurities from a very young age. The Bloody Mary singer said that just like everyone else out there, she has struggled with her own insecurities with respect to her body and the way she looks. She revealed-
“I never felt beautiful, and I still have days that I don’t feel beautiful. All of the insecurities that I’ve dealt with my whole life from being bullied when I was younger, come right back up to bite me. Then I put makeup on, and before I know it I feel this superhero within. It gives me those wings to fly.”
According to Lady Gaga, makeup played a very significant role in getting over her insecurities. She said-
“When I became Lady Gaga when I was younger, it was because I discovered makeup. It means so much to me on a deep visceral level — the power of makeup to change how you feel when you’re at your lowest.”
Lady Gaga’s mother, Cynthia Germanotta, had a major influence on her and as a child, she loved watching her mother applying makeup. She recalled-
“She would look so, so beautiful and so strong. She just had such bravery about her and it was so inspiring to me. I grew up with this understanding that you can be brave in many different ways, and one of those ways is makeup. I really hope that when I have maybe a little girl one day or a little boy, and they see mommy put her makeup on, they have the same experience that I did.”
The singer-songwriter and actor Lady Gaga is currently filming for the upcoming sequel of Joker with Joaquin Phoenix.
