Joaquin Phoenix couldn't look Nathan Lane in the eyes on set of Beau Is Afraid

Beau is Afraid

Joaquin Phoenix had a hard time keeping it together while working with funny man Nathan Lane on Ari Aster's Beau Is Afraid.

"It’s funny. He and I, Joaquin, we really hit it off, although we have very different sensibilities. He’s very intense, and I am just tense," Lane said during The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. "But he thought I was funny, so every time we did a take he would say, 'I can’t look you directly in the eyes, or I’ll break up.' So just know that in every close-up and in a scene with me, he’s just looking directly at my nose."
