You have probably caught on to my fondness of the recent Joker film ( i.e The Joker – A Timeless Character) But, can you blame me? Joaquin Phoenix went above and beyond for this role. In my initial post, there was a brief discussion on the distinct laugh that each Joker has had, which was just a fraction of the preparation that went into the role. The Joker role has been known to require a great deal of dedication and commitment. Heath Ledger, an actor who won an Oscar post-humorously for his Joker character, spent weeks locked in a hotel room just trying to dive into his character. Joaquin Phoenix went on to lose 50 lbs. for the role. Whether an actor was placing their self in self-isolation or starving a sacrifice was being made for the role.
