Lady Gaga Opens Up About Her Transformation For The 'Joker' Film (original) (raw)

Posted on September 24, 2024

Recently, Lady Gaga revealed her transformation process for becoming Harley Quinn in Joker 2, which Joaquin Phoenix applauded.

Gaga said, “I allowed myself, once I found her voice, to make her whatever I wanted at any given moment—whatever the scene or the moment called for.”

She continued, “There’re moments on the phone where the music is fantasy or it’s Arthur’s dream. So, in those moments, I thought, ‘OK, what would Arthur need right now?’ Maybe Arthur needed her to be amazing.”

She added, “I allowed it all to become available to me once I really honed in on trying to sing as her without technique, without the right breathing, just really naked and bare.

“At first, it was really scary and it felt really unnatural, but then it felt completely natural for her. That was exciting. I remember when I first saw it back on camera, and I felt like, ‘OK, I think I found something authentic.'”
