'Born This Way' superstar Lady Gaga is making waves with her new role on 'American Horror Story: Hotel' and her latest appearance on the show was a sensual sex scene starring cast member Angela Bassett.

Bassett recently spoke about shooting the sex scene with Gaga and told Access Hollywood that the music icon tried to put her at ease with humour: 

"She came up and said, 'Hi'. And she had this beautiful gown that was sort of see-through and vintage, and a diamond necklace... and she says, 'Are you nervous...? Don't be nervous, I know about these things!'"

"And then she brought me out a birthday cake, because it happened to be my birthday, and this cake... (I was shocked) with what she's doing to me on this cake... It was an X-rated cake... She came up (to me) and I said, 'Would that be foreplay?'"

Gaga also opened up about shooting love scenes, adding that they're a great challenge: "They don't scare me, those scenes. It's an opportunity to be fearless. In a strange way, I think I almost prefer to watch myself in a love scene, because I know that I have to be completely honest in order to achieve something that looks authentic and feels real. I'm trying to see that authenticity in myself all the time on film."
