being with Gaga was inpiring




In a recent interview with MTV, Reedus went first and described Gaga as a super cool girl from New York. He revealed that Gaga is religious and offers her prayers regularly. 
He described the Mother Monster as a team player, who is not afraid to speak her mind out and unlike the perceived-opinion; Norman said that she is not weird in any way. 
He further added that Gaga is a very bold and open-minded artist, who loves challenges and ‘really takes the bull by the horns.’

Judas video’s Jesus, Gonzalez also chimed in and said that a major part of her cool attitude is transferred in her on-set chemistry with her creative director and pal Laurieann Gibson.
He found her ‘passionate and very driven.’

In recent times, everything that the thought-provoking singer does seems to attract some sort of controversy, but according to Norman Reedus, Gaga never intends to hurt people and any offense caused by her material is purely coincidental. 
He said that Gaga is way too cool to pull such stunts and she would never intentionally write stuff that would provoke controversy.


Talking about Gaga’s famous work ethic, Norman Reedus said that she works like a machine and he felt really slow in front of her, when he tried to match her shoulder to shoulder. 
“That girl works really, really hard. … I felt sort of lazy around her. It was kind of inspiring,” he concluded.

The Conspirator - review & Interview w/Norman



Review

One Bullet killed the President-but not one man.

The Conspirator tells the story of the aftermath of the assassination of Abraham Lincoln the 16th President of the USA.
After the assasination a manhunt is started immediately. Seven men and one woman, Mary Surratt, are arrested and charged for conspiring.


Frederick Aiken (James McAvoy), a 28-year-old Union war-hero, reluctantly agrees to defend Surratt before a military tribunal. Aiken realizes his client may be innocent, but she is being used as bait and hostage to capture the only conspirator to have escaped a massive manhunt – her own son, John (Johnny Simmons).

It seems like the trial is really more of a formality on the path to Surratt’s execution, with Secretary of War Edwin Stanton (Kevin Kline) working in collusion with the prosecuting attorney, Joseph Holt (Danny Huston), and the military tribunal of judges to ensure that Surratt is found guilty and the nation’s bloodlust for revenge is satisfied.

With the help of Mary's daughter Anna (Evan Rachel Wood), Aiken sets out to prove the tribunal of Mary's innocence despite his personal beliefs to the contrary.






The Film shows that a mother would go to any length to protect her son. 

I recommend this film to anyone that can appreciate a good drama.
