News - Joaquin Phoenix Struggled With Joker 2's Musical Numbers

<p>In 2006, Joaquin Phoenix was nominated for Best Actor for playing Johnny Cash in Walk the Line, a role that required him to sing Cash's legendary songs. Phoenix didn't win the Oscar until 2020 when he was named Best Actor for playing Arthur Fleck in <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/joker-review-the-dark-antihero-origin-story-that-c/1900-6417285/">Joker</a>.

Phillips also credited Gaga--who plays Harley Quinn in the film--with giving Phoenix advice that helped him up his game for those scenes. Conversely, Phoenix was able to give Gaga suggestions that helped her performance as well.</p><p>"The truth is, they gave each other pointers," recalls Phillips.
