How Joaquin Phoenix's Approach to Joker Diverged From Heath Ledger and Others Who've Played the Iconic Villain
's Joker starts off as a cold-blooded gangster named Jack Napier, who as a young man killed Bruce Wayne's parents and decades later falls into a vat of chemicals during a run-in with Batman and gets a perma-grin thanks to botched plastic surgery.
To achieve the physical presence of a man who feels he barely exists, Phoenix lost 52 pounds by going on a doctor-supervised restrictive diet and leaned into the existing awkwardness he was born with, including the scar above his lip and a distended shoulder. "I wanted the freedom to create something that wasn't identifiable," Phoenix said. "This is a fictional character, and I didn't want a psychiatrist to be able to identify the kind of person he was. We were getting into medication and what issues he might have, but [I thought] let's step away from that. We want to have the room to create what we want."
