Anderson Cooper's '60 Minutes' interview with Lady Gaga won't air until the night of the 2011 Grammy Awards , but Anderson Cooper is not holding back about one of the most memorable moments of one of his recent sit-downs, or maybe he's happy that he remembers it at all.
Cooper told 'The Insider' that when he hung out with the Grammy-winning provacateur in Enghand to shoot their Q&A , she had her own ideas about how to make the interview more relaxing.
We actually ended up that day in a pub in London drinking Jameson , "which I don't really drink ," the longtime CNN journalist said . "So she got me me a drink , like two of them and by the end , I was ready to have the interview be over, because I really sort of couldn't ask any more questions."
Cooper confessed a strong interest in meeting the singer face to face. "She's obviously a fascinating person," he said.
And while tippling Irish whiskey is standard protrol for most of his in-depth interviews , conducting multiple conversations in different locations is.
"What's great about "60 Minutes" is you spend a lot of time with the person you are profiling ," he explained . "So to be able to spend a couple of weekends with [Gaga] in verious places over the course of several months , it's really cool. And it's really interesting ... I'm learning stuff about her I never saw before.
