“It’s my first time at the rodeo,” said “House of Gucci” hairstyle artist Frederic Aspiras hours after the 2021 Oscar nominations were announced. Aspiras, a longtime stylist collaborator of Lady Gaga, was nominated alongside prosthetics designer Göran Lundström and wigmaker and hair stylist AnnaCarin Lock for Best Makeup and Hairstyling.
It was the sole nomination that the Ridley Scott movie received – a surprise given that Gaga, who was cited by SAG and BAFTA, was widely predicted to make the cut for Best Actress.
The snub didn’t stop her from reaching out to her friend.
“Talking to Gaga this morning, she was very excited for me and very happy,” Aspiras told TheWrap on a Zoom call, during which he apologized for the puffiness of his eyes from crying. “She just reminded me that this is something that doesn’t happen often in your life, and how amazing it is. She...

“I came to set every day with a Bible of dialogue and things to try out and experiment,” revealed “House of Gucci” scene stealer Jared Leto during a recent Deadline Zoom chat. For the 50-year-old Oscar-winner (“The Dallas Buyers Club”), this is part of his process. “I’ve learned, as an actor, don’t wait for permission. You really have to be impolite with your creative impulses. I don’t mean rude. Of course, you’re always kind and generous as humanly possible and a great partner, but you should never be too shy to try and fail. I certainly was aiming to fail every single day on the set.”
Leto has become a man of many faces over the years. The lead singer of the chart-topping rock band Thirty Seconds to Mars has gone to extreme lengths to bring his characters to life. He lost 30 pounds to play the drug addicted,...

Even for a performer known for his physical transformations, Jared Leto reached another level with “House of Gucci.” To play the foolish and ultimately tragic Paolo Gucci in Ridley Scott’s epic drama, Leto underwent hours of makeup and prosthetic work – and the result rendered him so unrecognizable that even costars like Al Pacino and Jeremy Irons weren’t aware they were initially sharing a set with the Oscar-winning actor.
“You have no idea how mind-blowing it is when this guy came in, dressed as Paolo, stood next to me — I was new in Italy — and I thought, ‘Who is this?,’ because he kept calling me ‘Papa!’” Pacino said last year. “Somebody, a sensitive person in the area, said, ‘Al, it’s Jared.’ I swear to you, I bowed to the floor. I remember, I said, ‘You are an inspiration. I can go on now.’”
