Joaquin: Gaga spit her coffee after hearing me sing

[Bradley 55,773]

Takeaway from Empire magazine interview

- “Arthur clearly is not a criminal mastermind. He was never that.” While Fleck isn’t angling to become a criminal figurehead in Arkham, the world is watching him. “Arthur has become this symbol to people,” Phillips says. “This unwilling, unwitting symbol now paying for the crimes of the first film, but at the same time finding the only thing he ever wanted, which was love.

- That purity of character exploration dovetails with Folie À Deux’s most unexpected stylistic swing – that Fleck (and Gaga’s Lee) will break into song. It comes from the notion in the first film that, in Phillips’ words, Fleck “has music in him”.

-  Fleck “has music in him”. Cue Phoenix singing showtunes, as channelled through Arthur. “It was important to protect that with poor phrasing and occasional bum notes “Arthur grew up hearing his mother play these songs on the radio. He’s not a singer, and he shouldn’t sound like a professional singer. He should sound like somebody that’s taking a shower and just bursts out into song.”

- He was, however, performing opposite the professional singer, Lady Gaga. “I do seem to remember her spitting up coffee the first time I sang, so that felt good, that was exciting, and made me feel confident,” he jokes.

"We were sitting on my porch, having some leftover Italian coffee, because y'know I'm Italian from NY and Joaquin is a Spanish name which is almost the same thing, and he started singing and I said OH  MY  GOD  JOAQUIN YOU'RE A SINGER "

Is Joaquin Phoenix’s rise a threat to Lady Gaga?

She then punched him in the throat and said "Stick to the jokes funny man, I'm winning the Oscar this time"

She would never 

There can be a hundred lead-actors and Lady Gaga believes in all of them

I dont like that they gave Harley a nickname, "Lee" but I guess since Arthur really isnt the comic book name of The Joker or any past media versions, its okay I guess.
