Joaquin Phoenix has revealed that he was initially uncertain about playing the starring role in the forthcoming comic book movie Joker, but that it ended up being one of “the greatest experiences of [his] career”.
His performance has earned Oscar buzz since the film’s premiere at the Venice Film Festival earlier this month.
During a Q&A session at the Toronto Film Festival last night, the Oscar nominee said of playing the role: “I mean honestly, it wasn’t an easy decision at first.
It was one of the greatest experiences of my career.”
