Casting A Star Is Born (Vudu Exclusive Featurette)

[Music] everybody we're gonna bring out ally to bring us home she's gonna sing an original song you know those moments when you're at a place and you're watching somebody do what they were born to do and you kind of forget where you are until the song's over that's what happened to me with lady gaga and i was just floored buried one of the great things i learned from davido russell is to spend time with your casting i can just keep a camera on all the people that are in this movie that never ceases to be interesting i just got lucky because all of these actors are so incredible you found the light in me that i couldn't find but there was no movie to be made if lady gaga didn't do it i wouldn't have had an inkling of how to tell the story if it wasn't for her the very first thing that we did was go you're a musician and and i'm an actress and we're gonna make an exchange do you write songs or anything i don't sing my own songs why i just i just don't feel comfortable we really both met each other at the same point individually in our work and we both needed the same thing from each other in order to jump tracks to this other place you ready i'll never forget when you called me and you were like sam elliott i really wanted to see sam ellia play a character that was filled with resentment as opposed to being somebody who's filled with wisdom bobby he dedicated his life so his brother jack could have his there's quite a lot of family dynamics that make that relationship pretty interesting tell you one thing though you've never bought a girl on stage before and it's been a long long time since he played like that at that read through i said bradley can i go deeper am i allowed to play with this when you cast the movie you're expecting the person that you cast to bring everything so all of a sudden i see tears falling from my face onto lady gaga's hair and you're like dice i knew it he was willing to really create this character jack i feel like we've done this before i was doing a play in london and dave chappelle came to see it and we met backstage and there was something about our dynamic that i just loved and i thought he's got to do this movie and he did it in such a humorous dramatic and soulful way saw you on youtube that video with the girl yeah you made me happy man you look like you you were just just doing it bro the way i approached this character was when i got the description and i was like i'm never gonna get this far yo you know really and i was just like let me just dive in and i'm gonna be this guy when i was a kid i was such in a box and it wasn't until i started listening to people and being like yo everybody should be loved the same and treated the same and i was like i didn't realize how much those words were embedded in my mind until i decided to break that chain and like no i'm gonna go do that so i put myself on tape and i was like i'm just gonna have the most fun like but that's that's what you brought that's just you that's your that's your light everybody here has the most incredible eyes and face and voice almost every single person that i've come in contact with in the music industry has told me that my nose is too big all the stuff you've gone through all the insecurities the stuff that's all beautiful food for your work wow you set the standard we're in this together and there are no walls here and with every character i always felt like we were all completely naked there was no rules here [Music] except not to fake it i'll always remember us this way
