Lady Gaga shared she was once an extra in an AC/DC music video on a special Christmas edition of Carpool Karaoke, which featured a surprise appearance by Brian Johnson.

In the episode, the popstar was being driven around Los Angeles by Apple Music's Zane Lowe when she shared a video with Lowe showing her grandmother singing "Highway to Hell." Lowe then tells Gaga he "got her something for Christmas." He gets out of the driver's seat, and then Johnson appears saying, "Hello, my darling!"

Gaga laughs with joy and exclaims, "Oh, my God! You brought me Brian Johnson?!" Gaga, Johnson, and Lowe then enjoy a fun sing-a-long to "Highway to Hell."

Afterward, Gaga reveals she was an extra in the 2000 video for "Stiff Upper Lip" when she was 17 years old. Johnson was stunned by the revelation. Gaga noted, "I was an extra in the back. I was headbanging and they were like, 'Hmmm. Don't head bang, we want it to be modern.' And I was like, 'No, there's only one move that I can do.'"

Gaga can be spotted at around the 2:55 mark in the video.
