London (ANI): Pop star Mika says Lady Gaga has reached the heights of stardom due to her 'weird' and 'bizarre' antics. Lady Gaga, real name Stefani Germanotta, gained international recognition in the last one year, with a hit record and sell-out tour.

And Mika says she is a self-made star. "She is her own creation. A weird, bizarre, but very successful creation. No one cared about her before. She's created a career for herself," the Daily Star quoted him, as saying. Mika added that the Poker Face hitmaker is a completely different person in private.

He said: "She is completely different personality wise though when we're alone - nothing crazy like people think she is, very normal, very sweet and extremely intelligent. She is very, very focused, bright and funny. She doesn't take herself too seriously."
