Joaquin Phoenix is opening up like never before.
ByJoaquin Phoenix is set to open up like never before on Sunday's new episode ofThe notoriously private 45-year-old actor sat down with Anderson Cooper for the in-depth CBS news program, and in the preview that dropped on Thursday, he admits to being extremely nervous and vulnerable on set. Phoenix has gotten rave reviews for his role as the mentally ill Arthur Fleck in Todd Phillips'for Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture - Drama on Sunday.
"Phoenix is still plagued by self-doubt," Cooper notes in a voiceover as Phoenix says he"absolutely" gets nervous on set. "Yes, petrified," Phoenix says with his trademark intensity."There are so many things that I want to express when I take on a role. I go through the script, I'm just like, full of ideas and so, I guess I'm just nervous that I'm not going to be able to find the right kind of space to express that."
He also explains a much-talked-about scene in the film when Arthur dances by himself after committing his first murder. Phoenix says that the script just called for Arthur to run from the crime scene and hide his gun in a restroom, but he and Phillips came up with the idea for him to dance after the director played a piece of cello music that had been composed for the film.
"It felt like the character had moved way past that… there was the opportunity to express something else, but I didn't know precisely what," Phoenix recalls."I thought there was some kind of movement. That it was some kind of physical transformation, right? A metamorphosis."
