Joaquin Phoenix broke his silence on his abrupt exit from a gay romance film that included explicit scenes.
While on the road promoting his upcoming film Joker: Folie à Deux, set to premiere on October 4, 2024, the actor was asked about his last-minute withdrawal from the drama project directed by Todd Haynes.
According to Deadline, Phoenix had reportedly stormed off the set of the movie leaving the film in limbo for two weeks prior to its cancellation. Producers, having to deal with the financial ramifications of Joaquin’s departure, tried to put the movie back together unsuccessfully.
