Amidst the glitz and glamour of Hollywood, there is one film that stands out for its serious and dark tone – Joker: Folie à Deux, also known as Joker 2. Starring Joaquin Phoenix, this highly anticipated movie has kept us eagerly waiting to see the actor’s magic on screen once again. However, it is surprising to see how unserious he is in real life. An incident mentioned below will shed light on this.
Joaquin Phoenix gained commercial success after the release of Joker in 2019, but he has been a highly talented actor for over a decade. With Oscar-nominated movies and an Oscar win to his name, he has been one of the most talked-about names in recent years. Despite his accomplishments, he believed that only married individuals received attention from the audience. This led him to fake a proposal to his yoga instructor and claim they were dating, simply because he was bored. Read on to learn more.
The incident took place in 2014 when Joaquin Phoenix appeared on David Letterman’s chat show (via Fandom Wire). He was there to promote his movie Inherent Vice. When asked about his relationship with the yoga instructor and the yoga poses, he didn’t hesitate to respond with a fabricated story. He said, “This is the crazy part of the story. We started dating and I think she’s the one. I… I proposed to her and she said yes. […] Well, I mean if everything works out… But yeah, it appears good so far.”
Interestingly, Joaquin Phoenix didn’t clarify his joke during the David Letterman show. Instead, he waited for an entire night before clearing the air the following day on Good Morning America and Live! With Kelly And Michael. He admitted, “I think my life is so boring, and it seemed like something exciting to talk about, and I wanted the audience to like me. They really like people getting married.”
