Joaquin Phoenix Says Lady Gaga Ended Up ‘Spitting Her Coffee’ When He Sung In Front Of Her: ‘Made Me Feel…’

As a die-hard fan of both Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga, I must say that their chemistry in “Joker: Folie A Deux” is nothing short of electrifying! Having followed their careers for years, I never imagined that Gaga would be playing Harley Quinn or that Phoenix could sing like an angel. The fact that he left Lady Gaga shocked with his vocal talent just makes their collaboration even more intriguing.


It came as a pleasant surprise to Lady Gaga when Joaquin Phoenix showcased his impressive singing abilities; it seemed she was unaware of the actor’s hidden vocal talent.

In an interview with Empire magazine, published on July 26 (Friday), the Joker (Phoenix) recounted Lady Gaga’s reaction when he first sang for her. He mentioned that she apparently spat out coffee upon hearing him sing, which he found exhilarating and boosted his self-confidence.

The Oscar-winning actor, who won for his role as the Joker, also thanked his co-star in Folie A Deux – Phoenix praised the singer for having the courage to follow his feelings and instincts throughout their collaboration.

Additionally, he pointed out that for someone not accustomed to such performances, it could feel awkward, yet incredibly thrilling.

For some time now, there’s been lots of chatter about the new film by this pair, primarily due to the success of their last release in 2019. That movie was a smash hit, and with Lady Gaga stepping into the role of Harley Quinn, expectations are running high for this project.

In my expertise as a lifestyle enthusiast, I’d like to share an interesting tidbit from the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival. Contrary to popular belief, Lady Gaga wasn’t initially slated for the role of Harley Quinn in “Joker.” It was actually director Todd Phillips who proposed the idea. Upon viewing her performance, I, too, was taken aback, given what we all knew she could deliver following her stellar work in “A Star Is Born.” This just goes to show that sometimes, the most unexpected choices can lead to the most captivating performances.

At the gathering, the casting director additionally shared that Lady Gaga was expected to astonish the crowd with her performance.

In early May, I had a chat with Access Hollywood where I shared some insights about my portrayal of Harley Quinn in the upcoming Joker movie. As for my character, I proudly assert that she’s uniquely mine and genuinely authentic to the storyline.

Lady Gaga mentioned that the upcoming part doesn’t involve anything similar to her previous work. She teased that it promises to be exciting and fresh instead.

Joker: Folie A Deux will hit cinemas on October 4, 2024.
