Joker 2’s Joaquin Phoenix reveals Lady Gaga’s reaction to his singing

As a seasoned gamer with a penchant for immersive storytelling and a soft spot for musical narratives, I must say that the upcoming Joker: Folie à Deux has piqued my interest significantly. The blend of crime drama and music, coupled with the enigmatic characters of Arthur Fleck (Joaquin Phoenix) and Harley Quinn (Lady Gaga), promises an engaging cinematic experience.


Joaquin Phoenix shared how Lady Gaga responded when she heard him sing for the first time during their collaboration on “Joker: Folie à Deux.”

In the upcoming sequel to the DC film, there’s a stronger emphasis on music, as Joker (played by Phoenix) and Harley Quinn (portrayed by Gaga) develop a bond based on their mutual affection for old tunes.

As a gamer, let me tell you, I may not be a professional singer in real life, just like my character Arthur isn’t one either. Johnathan Phoenix, in an interview with Empire, revealed that the rough singing was crucial for the character, but it was Gaga who had a strong reaction when she first heard him. Luckily, he took it in stride.

He emphasized the significance of preserving it, despite its imperfections and occasional off-key moments, he stated. Arthur, having grown up with his mother’s songs playing on the radio, is not expected to possess a professional singer’s polish. Instead, he should embody the spontaneity of someone who suddenly starts singing while taking a shower.

It feels like I recall her spitting out coffee during our first duet, which gave me a thrill and boosted my confidence. That moment was electrifying!

As a gamer, I’ve found myself in similar situations when stepping out of my comfort zone. Gaga, with her infectious energy, would always say, “Just follow your instincts, it’s all good.” It might feel awkward for someone like me, not accustomed to performing, but at the same time, it’s thrilling.

As a gamer, diving into the world of the Joker, I’d like to share some insights from a recent interview with director Todd Phillips. Contrary to other universes, he assured us that this version of the Joker won’t transform into a crime boss supervillain. Why? Because Arthur, the character portraying the Joker, isn’t cut out for that role. He never was a criminal mastermind, and that’s something we can all expect to remain consistent in this unique take on the iconic character.

As a gamer, I find myself embodying Arthur, who unintentionally stands as a representation for many. Once shackled by the legacy of the initial movie and bearing its consequences, I’ve unwillingly paid penance for its crimes. However, amidst the turmoil, I’ve unexpectedly discovered something I yearned for all along – love.

As a gamer, I can’t wait for the cinema release of “Folie à Deux” on October 4th. On the other hand, if you can’t wait that long, you can grab a copy of “Joker” right now on Blu-ray or stream it online.
