Joaquin Phoenix seemed to get a surprise last night on the Jimmy Kimmel Live! show when he was confronted with a behind-the-scenes Joker clip capturing him in an expletive-laden rant…Or did h…
In the footage, featuring Phoenix in his Joker character make-up, the actor takes issue with “constant whispering” on the set while he’s “trying to find something real” in his performance. The actor apologizes before becoming aggravated with ‘Larry’ [DoP Lawrence Sher] for apparently comparing him to the singer Cher. He then storms off camera, saying, “I can’t do this man.”
Phoenix cringed and told Kimmel the clip was “embarrassing”: “Sometimes movies get intense. You have a lot of people in a small space and you’re trying to find something,” he said sheepishly. “That was supposed to be private, I’m sorry you guys [the audience] had to see that.” “I should probably publicly apologize to Larry. I am sorry, but he did whisper constantly while we’re trying to work, and sometimes it’s really hard to find the emotion you’re after… he shouldn’t have done it,” the actor added.
But the clip and its revelation also played out on the show like a bit. Both Phoenix and Kimmel have prior for mocks and skits. In Phoenix’s 2010 mockumentary, the actor took part in a famously bizarre appearance on Letterman in which he claimed he had retired from acting to focus on music.
