Leslie Jordan is opening up about filming American Horror Story: Roanoke with Lady Gaga!

During a new episode of his Instagram series “Pillow Talk,” the 65-year-old actor revealed a funny story while filming a scene with the 34-year-old entertainer.

“I can tell when I meet you, within three minutes, how you were raised. When I met Lady Gaga on the American Horror set…beautifully brought up,” Leslie shared. “‘Please, thank you.’ Lovely girl.”

Leslie then went on to explain the interesting approach Gaga took when her character murders his.

“We had a scene where she was gonna blow fairy dust in my face, and then knock me down, and blind me, chase me, and then roll me over, kick me,” Leslie explained. “And then she was supposed to squat down on me and cut me with a knife.”

“She took me in the woods right before we shot, and she said, ‘You know, I tend to sexualize all my acting partners,’” Leslie continued. “I thought, ‘Where’s this going?’ Well honey, she kicked me, rolled me over, and got down on me and started riding me… I didn’t know what I was supposed to do! I just laid there and thought, ‘How do I get myself into these situations?’”
