Lady Gaga Says There Was Something ‘Completely Freeing’ About Playing Harley Quinn in ‘Joker: Folie à Deux’


Lady Gaga said there was something 'completely freeing' about playing Harley Quinn in 'Joker: Folie à Deux,' while talking about singing live on set.

That’s what Joaquin Phoenix said the team behind the anticipated Joker: Folie à Deux decided to do, a choice that terrified the notoriously fearless actor from day one. “You were really cool and kind of made me feel comfortable about that,” he said, with Gaga adding, “I can assure you that Joaquin using his natural voice was just so much more compelling than any lip synching would ever be.” Even more challenging, Gaga recorded an entire Joker-themed album, Harlequin, out today, in which she channels her character Harley Quinn on a series of classic covers and a few originals.
