    Singer, actor, and Oreo-maker Lady Gaga is currently in Rome filming her next Academy Award–winning movie, House of Gucci.

    The movie stars Gaga, Adam Driver, Al Pacino, Jared Leto, and more in telling the story of Patrizia Reggiani's attempt to kill her ex-husband Maurizio Gucci, the grandson of Gucci.

    We're starting to see glimpses of the characters, and I thought: You know what's fun? Looking at side-by-sides of what the actors look like next to the actual people.
