[artist id="3061469"]Lady Gaga[/artist] is many things to many people. She's a pop star, a fashionista and a voice for those who feel they can't speak for themselves. In her [article id="1663496"]video for "Judas,"[/article] she took on a new role: Mary Magdalene. MTV News caught up with both Judas ([article id="1663456"]Norman Reedus[/article]) and Jesus ([article id="1663465"]Rick Gonzalez[/article]) from the clip, and they shared what Gaga is really like to work with.

"Gaga's a super cool girl from New York," Reedus said. "She's religious; she does prayers. We have some mutual friends, I think. She says prayers with her people before she goes out onstage, I've heard, and she's very much a group player. And she's not weird at all. She's actually an artist who believes in what she's doing and really takes the bull by the horns and is not afraid to say what she wants to say."

His "Judas" co-star, Gonzalez, said that a lot of her coolness is reflected in her partnership with [article id="1663388"]creative director Laurieann Gibson[/article]. "When I first met [Gaga], she was very passionate and very driven. I was really impressed and found a newfound respect for her, because she's such a hardworking woman and so dedicated and very creative," Gonzalez said. "And her, with Laurieann, they make such a great team together.

"I think you're going to see a lot more amazing things with them, 'cause they totally have this synergy," he continued. "And I've overheard them say it: They're totally going to do a lot more things together. So I'm excited to see what that's stuff going to be. ... It's really impressive."

While a lot of the time [article id="1663450"]Gaga seems to offend someone[/article] with what she's doing, Reedus said that's not her intention.

"She's cool enough where she's just not trying to offend people to offend people. I mean, who does that? She's actually super talented and she's a machine," Reedus said. "That girl works really, really hard. ... I felt sort of lazy around her. It was kind of inspiring."
