Campbell was escorting other A-listers to their seats when he was asked to help Gaga. For the occasion, the Stupid Love singer donned an extravagant floor-length custom Schiaparelli red skirt and a black top with black leather gloves.
“There was a concern — obviously she was wearing this very beautiful, very large dress — and there was a concern that she might need some help getting down the stairs. So they basically looked around and I was one of the taller, larger individuals, and they just asked if I would be willing to assist and I was more than happy to,” the marine told Task & Purpose.
In another interview with The Marine Corps Times, Campbell said he “shared a laugh” with Gaga ahead of their walk out. “She looked at me and she’s like ‘a fair warning … we have an equal chance of tripping on this.’,” he said.
The Shallow singer was nervous so Campbell reassured her by telling her she would do a great job, he further told Task & Purpose. She even reportedly asked if he wanted to pray with her backstage inside the Capitol.
“It just seemed like a very natural human thing to do to look over and go, ‘Hey you’re going to do great. You always do well, you know, you’re a performer, you’re going to do great,’ “It just seemed like she needed to hear a relaxed voice,” Campbell expressed.
Gaga also told the 34-year-old marine that the day was “the most important day of her life”, he revealed, adding she was “incredibly genuine”.
