Sir Elton John is convinced Lady GaGa is the perfect person to serve as godmother to his baby son, because the pop star is a real family girl at heart.
The Rocket Man hitmaker, who welcomed baby Zachary with partner David Furnish last December (10), has confirmed reports Gaga was indeed chosen for the honour and the couple is confident the outrageous star will do a great job.
During an interview with U.S. news show 20/20, which will air in its entirety on Friday (22Apr11), John says, "Yes, (Gaga is the godmother). When you get to the real person underneath, there's a very simple New York girl who loves her parents. I love her to death and a lot of people said, 'Oh that's crazy.' But they don't know her, and we do."
