Lady Gaga Unleashes Her Inner Dude in New 'You and I' Pics

Lady Gaga released some new pics to go along with her new single "You and I" and they're...well...really manly.

The new pics show Gaga dressed as her male alter-ego Jo Calderone, a gruff, greasy-haired smoker and Sicilian car mechanic who's maybe not the best-lookin' hombre you've ever seen.

She released the images via Twitter, along with the message "You will never find what you are looking for in love, if you don’t love yourself."

It's not the first time the pop culture icon has unleashed her inner dude.

As reported by the Daily Mail, she first introduced her alter-ego in a series of photos for London photographer Nick Knight, and has also appeared dressed in male drag for Vogue Hommes Japan.

In an interview for the Japanese pub, she posed as Calderone, saying: "(My occupation is) mechanic for my dad's business. This is the first time I've had my picture taken. Well, I always helped my dad at work, since I was a kid. I thought it would be fun to have my picture taken."

"I'd love to own my own car shop. I have a bunch of my own 'muscle' cars," Gaga/Calderone went on to say. "Maybe if I take some more pictures, I can afford it."
