Anderson Cooper Chats About His ‘60 Minutes’ Interview With Lady Gaga

December 6, 2010


Even though Anderson Cooper’s ‘60 Minutes’ interview with Lady Gaga won’t air until February 2011, he is already dropping hints and chatting about the interview, which he calls one of his most memorable interviews ever.

Cooper and Gaga sat down together in England last month when they then ended up downing drinks together in a local pub. He tells The Insider:

“We actually ended up that day in a pub in London drinking Jameson, which I don’t really drink. So, she got me to drink, like, two of them. And by the end, I was ready to have the interview be over, because I really sort of couldn’t ask anymore questions. She’s obviously a fascinating person. What’s great about ’60 Minutes’ is you spend a lot of time with the person you’re profiling. So to be able to spend a couple weekends with [Gaga] in various places over the course of several months, it’s really cool. And it’s really interesting….I’m learning stuff about her I never saw before.”

The interview is set to air February 13, 2011, same night as the 2011 Grammy Awards.
