Joker Director Reveals New Photo of Joaquin Phoenix in Clown Costume and Makeup
Director of the upcoming Joker film Todd Phillips has posted another shot of Joaquin Phoenix in makeup on Instagram, though this time he is decidedly in a full clown costume.
The Instagram post is simply paired with the caption “Work” suggesting that this is Phoenix playing Arthur Fleck, the Joker prior to making his full transition into the Clown Prince of Crime. It appears that this version of the Joker worked as a literal clown, perhaps providing entertainment to audiences before being completely “disregarded by society.”
This on-set photo comes shortly after the “Camera test w/sound” video posted by Phillips last week that showed off Phoenix’s Joker makeup. Though many believe that this makeup is simply for his pre-joker incarnation as Arthur Fleck, various leaked on-set photos seem to confirm that this face makeup is present both for Fleck and the full-fledged Joker, albeit without the clown cap and costume.
