To everyone upset about Joaquin Phoenix’s interview on Kimmel last night (us included), Phoenix is the king of awkward interviews & the outtake was STAGED.

It did feel super real & insanely uncomfortable. Props to Joaquin for an Oscar-worthy performance on Kimmel! 😂 #Joker pic.twitter.com/9kIDu6Dbj2
There's been a lot of debate about whether the outtake from JOKER shown on Jimmy Kimmel was just a joke and Phoenix's publicist has now told Entertainment Weekly that the footage shown "was a joke outtake." So, you can put down the pitchforks, Kimmel didn’t embarrass Phoenix.

so Joker might be great... clearly, Phillips isn’t... Jfc, what he (and Kimmel) did was just shameful, especially to someone he worked with... Just let Joaquin continue the press tour instead it doing it yourself

Watched that Joker "outtake" from Jimmy Kimmel and yeah that was some under the table type shit 100% because they fucking rehearse those bits beforehand so the fact that he didn't see that coming is supremely fucked up
