Now Joaquin Phoenix knows: No one out-divas Robert De Niro

And director Todd Phillips’s Joker has two major divas, Robert De Niro and Joaquin Phoenix, who operate according to two majorly different methods, according to Phillips’s memory of their time on set.
“Bob called me and he goes, ‘Tell [Phoenix] he’s an actor and he’s got to be there, I like to hear the whole movie, and we’re going to all get in a room and just read it,’” Phillips told Vanity Fair in a profile of Phoenix. “And I’m in between a rock and a hard place because Joaquin’s like, ‘There’s no fucking way I’m doing a read-through.’” Ultimately, he had to do the table read. Afterward, Phoenix immediately went for a smoke, sickened by the activity and desperate to walk out.
