Phillips says Gaga “100 percent” gave Phoenix pointers on set, and that “he was sick every day” with nerves over those portions of production. The director says Phoenix had to sing with Gaga as early as nine days into the lengthy shoot, but the place the duo got to was magic to witness.

“The truth is, they gave each other pointers. He’d give her pointers about acting; she’s been in movies, but he’s Joaquin Phoenix. She gave him tips about music because she’s Lady Gaga. It’s what movies should be: a giant collaboration,” says Phillips, adding that Phoenix’s notes to Gaga were far less obvious, and sometimes expressed only through “being really generous” with his vulnerability in a scene, whereas “her notes would be a little more specific because it’s like, you’re not hitting the note there. It’s different. There’s less room for interpretation,” he finishes.

“I got a little heat for saying it’s not really a musical. I wasn’t saying that because I’m afraid of the term, ‘musical.’ I love musicals, and the movie definitely has music in it. It might even be a musical,” Phillips says. “To clarify, most of the times I’ve ever seen a musical, I walk out feeling better than I did when I walked in. On this movie, I’m not sure it’s the same thing. I wouldn’t want to be misleading and say you’re going to be whistling the songs from this movie on the way to your car after you see it."

My takeaway from this was Joaquin possibly had sinusitis from being sick and smelt like tonsil stones?

But in the cultural sense, I just speak in future tense

He's currently in controversy due to quitting Todd Haynes' gay romance movie 5 days before shooting.

Recently, James McAvoy said that Joaquin quit 'Split' two weeks before shooting.

Joaquin never really explained why, but he's been known to have anxiety and a bit challenging to work with.
