Lady Gaga har enligt uppgift blivit ombedd att kallas "Lee" på inspelningsplatsen, snarare än hennes riktiga namn, Stefani Germanotta. Fotografen Lawrence Sher berättar nu att han kände ett avstånd till sångerskan/skådespelerskan tills han började kalla henne vid det namnet. I en podcast-intervju (tack IndieWire) förklarar han:
"I didn't know Stefani at all. Strangely, I felt like I never even met her, even during the makeup/hair tests. Because again, maybe it was my philosophy of not trying to get in their space.
And then I remember for a week, being like, god, I feel like we are disconnecting. Not even connecting. We are like on opposites. And I would say to my crew, 'Jesus, I can't, like, crack it. She either hates me or we hate each other. There's something weird going on here.' I barely said anything, except I would say, 'Stefani, this is where your second team was, minor little things,' and then the AD at one point said, 'Oh you know, Stef would like if you just called her Lee on set.' And I was like, oh, 100 percent, and I literally said, the next thing I said, was something 'Lee,' and it was like everything changed. From that point on, it was like she was... our whole connection changed. I was like, alright, cool.

Namnet Lee har ingen koppling till Gagas riktiga namn, utan är sannolikt en förkortning av Harley. Gaga har använt sig av intensiva skådespelarstilar tidigare, till exempel när hon behöll sin italienska accent även mellan inspelningarna av House of Gucci.
Hur ser du på method-acting, leder det till bättre resultat eller är det bara trams?
