Lady Gaga revealed unexpected details about Joaquin Phoenix behind the scenes of Joker 2

Lady Gaga shared fascinating details about the creative process behind “Joker: Folie à Deux,” the film she co-stars in alongside Joaquin Phoenix.

According to Gaga, Phoenix has a unique and meticulous way of working, which includes tearing up the script and rewriting scenes from scratch to achieve perfection.

What was Joaquin Phoenix’s creative process on Joker 2?

During the filming of the “Joker” sequel , Phoenix proved to be a deeply committed artist, to the point of physically tearing up scripts when he felt a scene didn’t meet his standards.

“Joaquin and I would get together in the trailer and sometimes we would just rip the script in half and start over,” Gaga revealed, describing the process as “cool and very liberating.”

What does the director of Joker 2 think about this?

Phoenix ‘s attitude is described as “problematic” by some within the industry, due to the high demands he imposes on filming and the immense investment of time it requires. The film’s director, Todd Phillips, confirmed this version by describing Phoenix’s approach as “unpredictable and challenging.”

“It’s the tunnel at the end of the light. You’re like, ‘Okay, this scene works, let’s shoot it,’ and Joaquin’s like, ‘No, no, no, let’s have a quick meeting about it,’ and three hours have passed and you’re rewriting it on a napkin,” Phillips said.

According to Phillips, Phoenix’s insistence on discussing and reviewing scenes extensively was challenging but fruitful, noting that “it’s great of Lady Gaga to be able to hold her own, both off-camera and when we’re in the trailer breaking things.”

What was Lady Gaga’s role in this process according to the director?

Phillips praised Lady Gaga for her ability to adapt to this intense work environment. Despite the pressure and demands of the creative process led by Phoenix, Gaga proved to be a professional capable of learning and adapting quickly, even under extreme conditions.

The combination of these two talented artists created a unique and explosive creative dynamic in “Joker: Folie à Deux.” The film, which is billed as a musical comedy-drama, promises to offer a completely new vision of the Joker and DC universe.
