In a recent interview with Vogue magazine, Lady Gaga opened up about her relationship with her fiancé, Michael Polansky, with whom she reportedly got engaged in April. Gaga also revealed how her personal experiences influenced her depiction of her role in her upcoming film Joker: Folie à Deux. 

In an interview, the House of Gucci actress shared that Harley Quinn is widely recognized in popular culture, but her approach to playing this character was distinct. She described her process as follows: “I approached creating her differently because I drew on my personal experiences with mania and chaos, which paradoxically led to a sense of calm within me.

As a dedicated follower, I’d like to point out that women are often stereotyped as overly ’emotional beings’ and perceived as erratic or unbalanced when they’re under immense pressure. Yet, in those moments when life pushes us to our limits and reality seems to shatter, I can’t help but ponder: Might it instead make you…silent?

Gaga also shared that she tackled the role using a “feelings-based approach,” focusing on understanding the sensation of moving around with intense bracing, as well as exploring what occurs when one conceals intricacies underneath a mask.

In the synopsis of Joker: Folie à Deux, the film depicts Arthur Fleck, now residing in Arkham State Hospital, who develops feelings for a music therapist named Lee (portrayed by Lady Gaga). Their shared hallucinations lead them on a journey filled with musical madness. As a result, Arthur’s supporters rally to free him from confinement, initiating a movement for his liberation.

As a lifestyle expert, I recently delved into the fascinating transformation undergone by the one and only Lady Gaga in her role as Harley Quinn. She shared that to truly embody this iconic character, she had to rethink her singing approach altogether.

She shared with Empire Online that although people recognize her by her stage name, Lady Gaga, this moniker doesn’t encompass the essence of the film. She clarified that she put in a great deal of effort in singing to embody the character Harley Quinn, not performing from her usual self as an artist.

The performer commented, “It feels as if I’m stripping away the formalities, separating myself and my craft from it, leaving only the raw essence of who she truly is.

Joker: Folie à Deux, will be released in theaters on October 4, 2024.
