Yesterday, September 4, at the Venice Film Festival, the cast celebrated Joker: Folie à Deux’s premiere.
Following the celebration, Phoenix, Gaga, and the film’s director, Todd Phillips, answered questions during a press conference.
As you would expect, a lot of people were talking about the star’s weight reduction. Phoenix clarified that compared to his preparation for The Joker, he found losing the weight to be much more “complicated.
” “This time, it felt a bit more complicated just because there was so much dance rehearsal that we were doing, which I didn’t have last time,” he remarked. “And so, it felt a bit more difficult.”
The Gladiator actor, who played the insane clown in the first movie, shed 22 kg by following a diet that mostly comprised of apples, lettuce, and steamed vegetables.
