Lady Gaga says fame is ‘isolating’ and ‘psychologically challenging’

Today, Gaga: Five Foot Two arrives on Netflix.

The documentary will give fans an insight into the star's life, her struggle living with chronic pain illness fibromyalgia, and her close relationship with her family. Ahead of the film's release, Gaga took to Twitter to share some of her thoughts about the movie. She said that she was very happy with how the creative process of the film had been handled but also admitted that the film made her feel "sadness" and "vulnerable." However, she also said watching her own story was an empowering experience.

“I felt proud, I felt sadness, I felt empowered, I felt vulnerable. But what struck me the most was the film’s authenticity” in the way Chris, the director, chose to show my lowest lows (and) my highest highs."

“I’m most touched that the veil behind the aura of my fame reveals that fame is not all it’s cracked up to be. It is lonely, it is isolating, and it is very psychologically challenging because fame changes the way you’re viewed by people. For me, it feels very unnatural, but complicated because I know it is my destiny to be a performer."

Lady Gaga only recently admitted that she was struggling from chronic pain illness fibromyalgia. The singer was forced to postpone her European Joanne tour due to the pain she has been experiencing.
