Joaquin Phoenix talks about his fears he faces while on the sets of his films.

Joaquin Phoenix of action. As amazingly open as his iconic onscreen characters are, the 45-year-old actor is very private in real life. Hence, his interview with Anderson Cooper for 60 Minutes is something new for the actor. The Joker star has always been a mystery for his fans and in the recent interaction which will soon air, the actor will be interviewed along with the entire Phoenix family for the first time in decades.
 
One of the topics that Joquin and Anderson will be talking about is how the actor is still petrified and nervous while on the sets of his films. "Yes, petrified. 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," Phoenix stated.
 
Joaquin also discussed the iconic Joker scene where Arthur Fleck dances in the washroom after committing his first murder. The actor revealed that he felt the sequence was an opportunity to express something else as his character had moved past the fear and guilt factor. "I thought there was some kind of movement. That it was some kind of physical transformation, right? A metamorphosis," Phoenix added.
 
Joaquin took home the Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture - Drama for Joker at the Golden Globes 2020. As for Oscars 2020, everyone is expecting Phoenix to take home the Academy Award for Best Actor as well.
