'I was probably afraid that I would turn into a fan. He's my all-time favorite actor. So I couldn't allow myself to think of him as De Niro.'
Joaquin Phoenix and Robert De Niro are starring in"Joker," one of the most anticipated movies of the year.
Phoenix stopped by the ABC News studios to talk about his role as the Joker and what it was like to work with the two-time Oscar winner. "I don't know what De Niro is like," Phoenix said in an appearance on"Popcorn With Peter Travers.""I worked with Murry Franklin .""It depends on the scene and the movie," he said."There are times where it feels important to interact with the other actors. And you talk in between takes. But it didn’t seem right for this. I think we were both so focused on what we were doing. There's so many different moving parts.
