\n\tSure, Joaquin Phoenix won an Oscar for his portrayal of Arthur Fleck (aka the Joker) in 2020. But even an award-winning actor gets nervous on set when he has to sing in front of one of the biggest pop stars on the planet. Luckily for Phoenix, when it came to giving the greasepaint goon a voice voice, his partner in crime, Lady Gaga<\/a>, was totally there for him. <\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\tLady Gaga Had to Purposely Tank Her Singing Voice for \u2018Joker: Folie \u00c0 Deux: \u2018There\u2019s Plenty of\u2026\t\t<\/p>\n<\/h3><\/div>\n

\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

\n\t\u201cI 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,\u201d\u00a0Phoenix told Empire<\/a><\/em> magazine about the Grammy-winning singer\u2019s reaction on the set of the upcoming Joker<\/em> sequel, Joker: Folie \u00e0 Deux<\/em>. \u201cGaga was always very encouraging of just, \u2018Go with what you feel, it\u2019s fine.\u2019 For somebody who\u2019s not a performer in that way, it can be\u2026 uncomfortable to do that, but also very exciting.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIt was important that they bond that way because director Todd Phillips wanted to bring the music out of the Joker, who at his core is a mercurial, failed comedian whose violent acts land him in Arkham Asylum, where he strikes up a lyrical love story with Gaga\u2019s Harley \u201cLee\u201d Quinzel, aka Harley Quinn.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cArthur has become this symbol to people,\u201d Phillips told the magazine. \u201cThis 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\u2019s always what he\u2019s been about, even though he\u2019s been pushed and pulled in all these directions. So we tried to just make the most pure version of that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThat expression of love comes through in musical numbers in the film, because, as Phillips said, Fleck has \u201cmusic in him,\u201d which explains why the latest trailer<\/a> has Gaga singing the classic tune \u201cGet Happy\u201d and Phoenix tackling \u201cWhen You\u2019re Smiling (The Whole World Smiles With You)\u201d in Fleck\u2019s raspy croon.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt was important to protect that with poor phrasing and occasional bum notes,\u201d Phoenix said in an echo of a recent interview with Gaga where she admitted to purposely tanking her award-winning voice to get into character. \u201cArthur grew up hearing his mother play these songs on the radio. He\u2019s not a singer, and he shouldn\u2019t sound like a professional singer. He should sound like somebody that\u2019s taking a shower and just bursts out into song.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tJoker: Folie \u00e0 Deux<\/em> will open in theaters on Oct. 4.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
