During an interview with host Jimmy Kimmel, Joaquin Phoenix was surprised by an outtake from his movie “Joker“, sent over to Kimmel’s show by director Todd Phillips.
The video showed an annoyed Phoenix sniping at the film’s cinematographer Lawrence Sher.
Clad in his Joker get-up (green hair, clown make-up), Phoenix is seen telling Sher to stop distracting him. “The constant whispering,” he said in the clip. “Just shut the f**k up, dude. I’m trying to find something real.” In response, Sher calls him Cher, poking fun at his diva-like behaviour, reports eonline.com.

“It’s not even an insult,” Phoenix said of the new nickname. “Cher, really? She’s a singer, actor, dancer, fashion icon. How is that a f**king insult?” He then proceeded to storm off set and away from the camera.
