Fridge Foe
When Joaquin Phoenix was cast as Arthur Fleck in the mega-hit Joker he did so with Academy gold in mind. I don’t know if he owns a crystal ball or not, but he did in fact win the sought-after award for his mesmerizing performance in this psychological thriller.
Portraying this incredibly complex character took a sizable amount of training and emotional weight lifting. In the scene, a raging Arthur starts throwing things around the kitchen. He then opens the fridge only to climb inside and close the door behind him. Everyone on set was astounded they ended up keeping the improvised scene and fans loved it.
