Like many of you, I’m very curious to see how director Todd Phillips’ Joker turns out. I’ve loved everything that I’ve seen from it and I’ve heard that it’s any incredible film with a powerhouse performance from Joaquin Phoenix.
We’ve all gotten a little taste of Phoenix’s performance in the trailers and that includes his creepy-ass laugh. During a recent interview with Il Venerdi, the actor revealed how he came up with that laugh, saying:
"I started [with the laugh]. I watched videos of people suffering from pathological laughter, a neurological disorder that makes individuals laugh uncontrollably."
That is one of the disorders that his character Arthur Fleck is said to suffer from in the film. The pathological disorders that this character has will certainly make him more interesting as he makes the transformation from street clown to the menace of Gotham City.
