As production continues on House of Gucci in Italy, Ridley Scott has added another A-list star to its ensemble cast with Oscar nominee Salma Hayek signing on for the true crime drama as Pina Auriemma, who was the clairvoyant friend of Maurizio Gucci’s ex-wife Patrizia Reggiani, portrayed in the film by Grammy winner and Oscar winner Lady Gaga.
“So happy to have my good buddy Salma join our wonderful cast,” producer Giannina Scott said in a statement (via Deadline).
House of Gucci is currently set for a November 24 theatrical release.
Gucci, the grandson of Guccio Gucci, ran the company in a declining period in the 1980s after wrestling it out of his uncle’s hands.
