Joaquin Phoenix praises Lady Gaga for her ‘impressive’ weight loss in new ‘Joker' movie
Joaquin Phoenix applauded Lady Gaga for her physical transformation into Harley Quinn while promoting their upcoming film “ Joker : Folie à Deux.”. “I remember when I first met you in rehearsals and then you went away for like a month and then you came back, you lost a lot of weight.” Joaquin Phoenix , pictured here Wednesday at the Venice Film Festival , praised his “ Joker : Folie à Deux” co-star Lady Gaga , for her weight loss transformation during filming.
The “Die With A Smile” singer thanked Phoenix before adding, “I think we transformed into our characters over a period of time and we continued to hone in every kind of detail.” “I’m not going to talk through specifics of the diet, because I just think nobody wants to hear that,” he said, noting that this time around it was a more “complicated” experience.While Gaga thanked her co-star, she didn’t dive into the specifics of her transformation for the role during the press conference at the Venice Film Festival.“It felt a bit more complicated just because there was so much dance rehearsal that we were doing, which I didn’t have last time,” Phoenix explained.
“So then you end up talking about it, and then it just sounds like an actor going on and on about how much weight they lost,” he continued.“I think we transformed into our characters over a period of time and we continued to hone in every kind of detail,” Gaga said of her role as Harley Quinn.“By the end of that run I was so sick of myself and angry at myself for making such a big deal about that part, because you just do what you’re f–king supposed to do,” Phoenix quipped.
