We all know Lady Gaga<\/strong> can sing, so finding out she’d be singing in Joker: Folie \u00c0 Deux<\/em><\/a>\u00a0<\/em>wasn’t surprising. But what about her co-star, Joaquin Phoenix<\/strong>? He also<\/em> sings in the movie, and unlike Gaga, he hasn’t had any formal training.\u00a0 What’s more, Phoenix says he needed to sing badly intentionally.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Empire<\/em><\/a> magazine about his character, Arthur Fleck, aka Joker,\u00a0 Phoenix says it was important for him to sing with “poor phrasing and occasional bum notes.\u201d He explains, “Arthur 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

But what was it like for him to sing opposite a virtuoso vocalist like Lady Gaga?\u00a0He jokes, \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\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n

But seriously, Phoenix says, “Gaga was always very encouraging of just, \u2018Go with what you feel, it\u2019s fine.’ For somebody who\u2019s not a performer in that way, it can be… uncomfortable to do that, but also very exciting.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Phoenix should feel better about the fact that Gaga has said<\/a> that in the movie, she also sang badly intentionally, because her character, Harley Quinn, isn’t a trained singer either.<\/p>\n
