In an interview with USA Today, the ‘Her’ movie actor revealed that it was frustrating for him to prep for the role of Arthur Fleck aka Joker.

Joaquin further shared that playing the twisted and dark character Arthur Fleck or Joker didn’t negatively affect him psychologically.
The talented actor said, “As humans, we’re so malleable – it’s probably how we survive and adjust and adapt,” he says. When making a movie, “my whole life changes. I go to a new city, I’m living in a new place. I don’t have photos from home or anything that reminds me of my life.”
