Adele almost played Lady Gaga in ‘A Star Is Born’

Bradley Cooper considered casting Adele as Lady Gaga in the 2018 version of “A Star Is Born.”
The “Hello” singer was one of the singers the director envisioned in the role of the waitress, along with country rock musician Jackson “Jack” Maine.
Speaking at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, Cooper said: “I thought about Adele for a while. I thought she didn’t have a good career. He was going overseas. He meets this woman, but no – and then it never took off. “
It was previously revealed that Beyoncé was set to play the role, but she was eventually forced to pull out.
Recalling her attempt, Bradley said: “She was amazing. We tried and it didn’t work. I remember being very nervous. I had a weird cough when I presented my project to her.”
Additionally, Jack White, former rocker of the White Stripes, was approached specifically to play the role of Cooper.
Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper eventually won the Oscar for Best Original Song for their duet on “Shellow” from the film.
