NEW YORK (Reuters) - Pop star Lady Gaga will make her
film acting debut in the second installment of the "Machete" film
franchise in a casting choice alongside the likes of Mel Gibson and
Charlie Sheen, Gaga and the film's director Robert Rodriguez said on
Twitter.
Rodriguez announced the casting on Thursday on Twitter,
saying, "I just finished working with @LadyGaga on @MacheteKills, she
kicked SO MUCH ASS! Holy Smokes. Blown away!" and posted a link to a
poster featuring the singer.
Gaga, 26, whose real name is Stefani Germanotta and
whose concerts and music videos are littered with various flamboyant
theatrics, confirmed on Twitter, "Yes it's true, I will be making my
debut as an actress in the amazing MACHETE KILLS BY @RODRIGUEZ IM SO
EXCITED!!! AH! Filming was insane."
Little is known about the role, which is likely to be a
cameo or smaller film appearance. The character poster featured the pop
star dressed in a scantily clad outfit and a wolf wrap with smoke
pouring out of a gun alongside the caption, "Lady Gaga as La Chameleon."
Rodriguez, who posted a tweet in June he had also cast
Charlie Sheen playing a fictional U.S. president in the film, directed
the first "Machete" film that was released in 2010 with the "Machete"
character derived from his "Spy Kids" 2001 film.
"Machete Kills" sees the character of Machete battling
his way through Mexico in order to take down an arms dealer, said film
website imdb.com. Rodriguez has previously directed "Sin City" and
"Desperado."
