Joaquin Phoenix’s drastic diet
Joaquin Phoenix lost almost 25 kilos in 3 months to transform into Joker, the film for which he won the Oscar. For the first film made in 2019, Phoenix had to lose a lot of weight to play the clown with the painted face. At the time the actor declared that, having had to follow a very restrictive diet, he struggled to perform the simplest gestures, because he was weak and without strength. As reported by the information and lifestyle magazine «Insider», Joaquin has repeatedly stated over time that «the significant weight loss may have caused him ‘a disorder’, making him obsessed with food and weight and causing him to avoid events and relationships social. He felt so tired that he almost couldn’t climb the stairs. He had the opportunity to focus on the psychological transformation induced by the drastic diet.
“You really start to go crazy when you lose that amount of weight in such a short time. I had important repercussions on my psyche, very useful for my interpretation”, stated the actor who, in the undertaking it should be said, was helped by a nutritionist, the same one who made him lose weight on the occasion of the film «The Master» (2012). The expert allowed him to eat only steamed apples, lettuce, asparagus and green beans. A very unbalanced diet – for this reason not to be imitated – followed for a limited period of time and always under medical supervision. No TV Vegan and activist for animal rights and the environment, Phoenix decided not to watch television for that period. The reason? He didn’t want to be disturbed or tempted by advertising dedicated to food: it would have caused him to feel hungry. Furthermore, the star preferred not to meet other people so as not to fall into temptation.
