"Marisa Tomei has admitted that she was &amp;quot;pretty surprised&amp;quot; to learn that she is Lady GaGa&amp;#039;s top choice to play the singer in a biopic.  GaGa revealed that she is a fan of Tomei during a recent radio interview, suggesting that the actress would play her well in a future movie.  &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m thrilled,&amp;quot; said Tomei during a recent appearance on The View.&amp;quot; I was pretty surprised\u00E2\u20AC\u00A6 I adore her.&amp;quot; When the co-hosts then pointed out that the similarities between Tomei and GaGa included both of them being Italian, the actress joked: &amp;quot;And we both wear similar [outfits]\u00E2\u20AC\u00A6 I don&amp;#039;t know how she fit into my bubble costume!&amp;quot; GaGa had also told SiriusXM&amp;#039;s The Morning Show that her friends refer to her as Marisa - who won an Oscar playing a New Yorker in My Cousin Vinny - when she is angry, explaining that her native New York accent comes through when she shouts. The &amp;#039;Born This Way&amp;#039; star was recently named as the recipient of this year&amp;#039;s &amp;#039;Fashion Icon Award&amp;#039; from the Council of Fashion Designers of America, while Tomei can currently be seen in the movie The Lincoln Lawyer.
