It was an emotional night for Lady Gaga and the cast of A Star is Born.
Last night, many gathered at the American Cinematheque Award Presentation in Beverly Hills, where Bradley Cooper was honored for his directing skills on the highly-touted film A Star is Born. Of course, Bradley's co-star, Lady Gaga -- whose real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta -- was one of the people chosen to speak at the event, and it left her very emotional.
According to E! Online, Lady Gaga gave a heartfelt speech to her director turned friend. To start her speech, Gaga told the crowd that she immediately felt comfortable with Bradley Cooper -- not just because he's such a hunk but because he is a "kind and loving and real person."
"I'm so honored to have you as my friend."
"I'm so grateful to you, not just for making me a better actress, but I've been able to call on you as a friend, and cry and be myself and have you never ever judge me and still respect me as a professional," she shared. "I've never had an artistic experience like this before."
