The ‘Joker’ Joaquin Phoenix is a man of many talents who has won numerous Golden Globes, Emmys and Academy Awards for his on-screen performances. As much as he is celebrated in the entertainment industry today,Phoenix didn’t always have a smooth presence on screen and his talent went unnoticed until he turned 43.
The actor is great at being spontaneous in his role and freestyling his dialogues instead of memorizing from a script. He is not afraid of making mistakes and likes to take bold risks, which is the reason why he has become one of the most sought after actors in Hollywood.
The first time he was in front of a camera came as an instantaneous euphoria of joy he was unable to contain. He was eight when he started acting and has not looked back ever since. He loves the process of transforming into different characters for movies and taking on a completely new role he has been given to play. He confessed that he follows a strict vegan diet which helps him stay happy and healthy.
His career in Hollywood hasn’t been as smooth as it may seem from the outside. There was a time when he got disillusioned with the industry, lost his will to act and even disappeared from the spotlight for awhile in 1993. The actor has been embroiled in many controversies but has not allowed them from dimming his light.
