Joaquin Phoenix

This was either a messed-up moment on the set or a Phoenix prank of the highest order.
Actor Joaquin Phoenix recently walked out of an interview when posed with a question about whether the film could inspire similar incidents in the real world.
The actor says his crash diet to play the Joker helped him move his body in ways he didn’t know he could, reportedly losing more than 23 kilos to play the famed comic book villain for this realistic origin story.
The actor sat down with The Telegraph to talk about his new film, but things didn't go as expected.
"I used to think my life was a tragedy, but now I realise, it’s a comedy."
