Lady Gaga Reveals How Glenn Close & Her Mom Became Friends

Lady Gaga and Glenn Close tied for the Best Actress win at the 2019 Critics’ Choice Awards and the singer/actress revealed during her speech that Glenn is friends with her mom!

During a press conference after the win, Gaga revealed how her mom became friend with Glenn.

“They met each other and became friends,” she said (via USA Today). “They went out together for lunch. And it’s a funny story, they decided to go near where my mother used to live. It was pouring rain outside, and Glenn and my mom went outside my mother’s old apartment and someone let them in and they took them upstairs. And my mom got to see her old apartment.”

“But I think what brought them together, truly, is kindness. Glenn has a foundation in support of kindness, and this is something that is so very important to me and my mother with the Born This Way Foundation. We want to empower youth to inspire a kinder and braver world,” she added.
