Oscar-winning actor Joaquin Phoenix has detailed his experience preparing for his role in the upcoming sequel, "Joker: Folie à Deux," which is set to release on October 4. Phoenix, who previously lost 52 pounds for the original "Joker" film, described the weight loss process for the sequel as more challenging due to the intensive dance rehearsals required for the film's musical elements. He expressed doubts about repeating such an extreme transformation in the future, citing the physical demands and his age as factors.

Phoenix also mentioned his co-star, Lady Gaga, who underwent a significant weight loss for her role as Harley Quinn in the film. He praised her dedication and transformation for the part. Additionally, Phoenix discussed his recent decision to drop out of Todd Haynes' untitled gay romance film, which he had developed with Haynes and Jon Raymond, just days before it was set to begin filming in Mexico. Despite the challenges, Phoenix emphasized the importance of feeling safe during his preparation for the role.
