Lady GaGa: ‘I Wanted to be Like Boy George’
LADY GaGa says she felt like a “freak” during high school.
Shocking, eh?
“I didn’t fit in in high school and I felt like a freak,” the Bad Romance singer says in an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show to air Friday. “So I like to create this atmosphere for my fans where they feel like they have a freak in me to hang out with and they don’t feel alone.”
The star — real name Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta — insists her wacky behavior and outrageous dress sense isn’t an act. “This is really who I am and it took a long time to be okay with that,” she said. “Because I’m sure you all… Maybe in high school you, Ellen, you [felt] discriminated against.
“Like you don’t fit in and you want to be like everyone else, but not really, and in the inside you want to be like Boy George. Well, I did anyway.
“So I want my fans to know that it’s okay. Sometimes in life you don’t always feel like a winner but that doesn’t mean you’re not a winner. You want to be like yourself….”
