Recently discussing how difficult it was to reduce weight for his part in the new film “Joker: Folie à Deux,” Joaquin Phoenix expressed his opinions during the Venice Film Festival.
Phoenix claimed dropping weight this time was more difficult than in the first Joker film. It was more challenging since he had to practise dancing extensively. At 49 years old, he believes he should never engage in such kind of weight loss once more.
Phoenix shed almost fifty pounds by eating very little, largely lettuce and steamed vegetables, for the first Joker film. He wanted not to talk about his diet much for the sequel since he felt it would not be engaging to people.
Phoenix also mentioned Lady Gaga, who portrays Harley Quinn, shed a lot of weight for her part as well. Both of them put great effort into inhabiting their roles.
Phoenix’s commitment reveals the great amount of effort performers invest in their craft. The new movie and the results of their efforts thrill viewers.
