Marisa Tomei Hilariously Performs Dramatic Reading of Lady Gaga’s ‘Bad Romance’: Watch
Lady Macbeth, this was not. Marisa Tomei hilariously channeled her inner Lady Gaga with a dramatic reading of “Bad Romance” on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Thursday, March 30. Watch the video above to see the funny moment!
The Captain America: Civil War alum, 52, tackled the odd task after Colbert, also 52, brought up a 2011 Rolling Stone interview in which the “Million Reasons” songstress said she’d love for Tomei to play her in a biopic.
Tomei, who looked flattered, then launched into a dramatic reading of Gaga’s 2009 hit “Poker Face,” with Colbert lending his voice to a few key lines in the gag biopic script made only of Gaga lyrics.
“I won’t tell you that I love you. Kiss or hug you,” Colbert prompted. Without missing a beat, Tomei returned with, “I’m bluffing with my muffin. I’m not lying. I’m just staying with my love, glue-gunnin’.”
“M-m-m-m-m. Poker face. Poker face,” Colbert said, trying to keep a straight face.
“I want your ugly. I want your disease. I want your everything, as long as it’s free,” Tomei announced with flourish.
In the original Rolling Stone interview, Gaga, 31, explained that her admiration of the Oscar winner goes way back. “Oh, you know what, I would have Marisa Tomei play me,” Gaga said at the time. “I am such a Marisa Tomei fan.”
Added Mama Monster, “All my friends call me Marisa when I get angry. Because my New York accent just flies out of my body and I start smacking my gum.” (Tomei’s role in 1992 flick My Cousin Vinny involved plenty of gum smacking.)
Spider-Man: Homecoming - Marisa Tomei Wanted To Be An Older Aunt May
With Spider-Man: Homecoming, Sony and Marvel Studios are aiming to really capture the feel of a classic Spider-Man story, albeit with a few modern touches. One of those would be its depiction of Aunt May, which became apparent once actress Marisa Tomei was cast in the role.
Tomei recently guested on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, where Colbert brought up the more traditional depictions of the character, showing a photo to the audience. He then says "this is her, and this is you. You don't look like this, this is not the same person", holding the photo up next to her. Tomei said " (laughs) You can imagine my horror when I was cast and I started doing the research, but then I thought "well, I'm going to go with it" and I actually made a case to go, to age me up, but no they didn't do it."
This wouldn't actually be the first time the character has ben de-aged, as in Brian Michael Bendis' Ultimate Spider-Man run the character was younger than her classic counterpart, in both age and personality. Sally Field also played a younger version of the character in The Amazing Spider-Man movies, but this version is much younger than even that take, so it will be interesting to see what fans think of the new direction.
You can view the full interview above, and the official synopsis can be located below. Spider-Man: Homecoming currently enjoys a 4.09 out of 5 on ComicBook.com's anticipation rankings.
A young Peter Parker/Spider-Man (Tom Holland), who made his sensational debut in Captain America: Civil War, begins to navigate his newfound identity as the web-slinging super hero in Spider-Man: Homecoming. Thrilled by his experience with the Avengers, Peter returns home, where he lives with his Aunt May (Marisa Tomei), under the watchful eye of his new mentor Tony Stark (Robert Downey, Jr.). Peter tries to fall back into his normal daily routine – distracted by thoughts of proving himself to be more than just your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man – but when the Vulture (Michael Keaton) emerges as a new villain, everything that Peter holds most important will be threatened.
The cast includes Tom Holland, Michael Keaton, Zendaya, Donald Glover, Jacob Batalon, Laura Harrier, Tony Revolori, Tyne Daly, Bokeem Woodbine, with Marisa Tomei, and Robert Downey Jr. It also includes Jon Favreau, Martin Starr, Kenneth Choi, Michael Mando, Selenis Leyva, Isabella Amara, Jorge Lendeborg, Jr., JJ Totah, and Hannibal Buress.
Next up for Marvel is Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 on May 5, 2017. Spider-Man: Homecoming lands on July 7, 2017, followed by Thor: Ragnarok on November 3, 2017. After that Black Panther debuts on February 16, 2018, while Avengers: Infinity War hits theaters on May 4, 2018. Ant-Man and the Wasp is slated for July 6, 2018, followed by Captain Marvel on March 8, 2019.
