Joaquin Phoenix Interview | Being Terrified On 'Gladiator,' Napoleon's 'Best Friend' Hat & More

[@ohyeah1867]

Joaquin literally hasn’t done any interviews for Napoleon, so the fact that he returned to ReelBlend must mean that he really likes you guys! 😁

[@seanoconnell2073]

This is what we are choosing to believe!

[@donna25871]

The actors were on strike until days ago.

[@winstonsmith8482]

I would be embarrassed of this trashy completely inaccurate movie if I was him too.

[@sarichka7]

😊😊

[@melaniep6964]

@@donna25871 The strike ended around the end of October, so a little over a month now.

[@reservoirdude92]

Damn, it's rare to hear Joaquin legitimately talk about the craft of acting and his process. Wish he would open up more like he did here in that regard!

[@seanoconnell2073]

He's welcome back on ReelBlend any time.

[@benrosn8154]

Joaquin phoenix is one of the greatest actors of all time, literally captured such a distinct feeling. He is always been fantastic always been above the standard, just simply one of the greatest actors of all time like him and Daniel Day-Lewis.

[@bhavikasicka7871]

Yes, because he's vegan. ❤

[@allanm2064]

Wow.. everyone who's here knows that Joaquin doesn't come out of his shell much for interviews. I can't believe you got him! Awesome interview! This must truly be legit for him to come on and hash out some acting components!

[@seanoconnell2073]

Go back through and listen to our catalogue. Joaquin came on for JOKER, but we've had some really fun guests over the years!

[@ChadwickRider]

I love Joaquin Phoenix, at least what I know of him. Artistic integrity.

[@biandaher351]

You guys made me wanna watch Napoleon after this. Because of bad reviews I passed on the idea of watching the film, but not anymore. I'm actually excited to watch it now. Great interview.

[@emjbelle]

My all time favourite actor on my fav podcast (again) thanks team, great interview!

[@jesse1008]

I shouldn’t be surprised at this point how funny Joaquin is, he’s like of of my favorite people on this earth lol 👍🏼

[@melaniep6964]

He's adorable!

[@sichard.rimmons]

There’s definitely a reason why top talent keeps coming back to you guys. Yet another great interview where someone is noticeably more comfortable opening up compared to others out there

[@Zed-fq3lj]

A very rare interview of reclusive J. Phoenix - good job!

[@anastasiarees2640]

His performance in napoleon is stunning.

[@TheRubberStudiosASMR]

This was fantastic. Really interesting hearing him as always. Great interview

[@gilbysstroem]

I love how joacquin just gave us the version of caesar like never been done before. His nervousness acts like the adobo sauce . Giving the impression of either excited, suprised, angry or even thirsty (s3xually) for the protagonist. Ver very well soaked in his character. And also i would love to smack his lips. Beautiful man

[@jasonraschen1109]

Awesome interview guys. Joaquin really seemed to be in a good mood. Thanks for posting this.

[@carlsax497]

Such a great interview! Loved that story about how Ridley handled Joaquin’s fear on the set of Gladiator. Wonderful stuff yet again guys! Keep it coming! I need this show mainlined. 😂

[@nikolausbaker3856]

Empowering the actor is so important to the scene if they have the intuitive understanding of the character then let the film roll and the take it will be just right.

[@theworldsgreatestdetective8227]

I have been so excited for this interview!! Its 12.40am in the morning! Hahaha

[@seanoconnell2073]

Dig in! Let us know what you think after. Then share it!

[@marygoff5472]

Thank you guys, this was Awesome!! No video needed!👏🏼😊❣️💫

[@alcottdevalte7440]

I think this movie could have been Phoenix' best performance but it's a shame that Ridley's lack of understanding of history in general and Napoleon's character limited Phoenix' performance. There was never any character development from a teenager and onto a grown man considering that Napoleon at the beginning of this movie was basically a teenager and the movie ended with him being 51 even though I don't think Ridley seem to care about it or even have any knowledge about it either...

[@Tonytony95461]

Wow, great interview. Good to see Joaquin enjoying himself.

[@cherpita]

not in the US, in Ukraine, and your channel is great! thank you!

[@lindastratton5416]

I love Phoenix he is just the best

[@victorcarpen78]

Such a good interview and glad he came back hopefully joker 2 he will be back

[@black_sheep_nation]

As an artist,and human with empathy, I'm reminded again, how cynics and overconfidence in one's intelligence are insufferable assholes, the most talented people are humble, full of wonder, and doubt. Rigidity and black and white thinking kills the creative spirit. I can think of some actors, comedians, and singers who lost, or never had, that spark the more rigid they grew. There are exceptions of course, but it's not the rule.

[@MrPhenom444]

You guys are the best!

[@victorcarpen78]

So happy we have two episodes this week hope everyone had a good thanksgiving and wow another huge get for boys really hoping you guys can get him and Todd Phillips for the new joker as always another fantastic episode boys everyone like and subscribe and send to a friend so they can do more exciting things like this hopefully a reelblend meet up can happen for the 300 episode

[@nutrino75]

Joaquin Is fantastic, this movie is getting such rave/great reviews from everyone.... hype!

[@tomhahnl1927]

Great Interview 🎞👍

[@anthonycampos8057]

The film is already doing big numbers in France.

[@sebastianalegria3401]

I've been a fan of Joaquin since I saw him in the movie Joker whose performance made him earn an Oscar, which he's waited for a long time. Regarding Napoleon film, I'm dying to see it at the cinema.

[@thebrandonsalad]

Another great show gentlemen👏👏🔥

[@cindymaceda2999]

Napoleon loved his hat. He had 150 of them. He used it as a part of his personal brand.

[@chateauBoudreau]

I am a Napoleon fan and have high hopes for Oscar night. This interview cements my love for the movie.

[@tahayvr]

Welcome, Welcome to the Reelblend podcast, a podcast that is losing members faster than the Suicide Squad. Good Friday to all!

[@seanoconnell2073]

Hey, opening jokes are my bit!

[@tahayvr]

😂😂@@seanoconnell2073

[@georgesturdy7040]

Just seen the film he is an incredible actor

[@loftincapital]

Hollywood is a tough business! The good guys won

[@urbanelysium]

You should have asked why he used an American accent and not French! I know Ridley doesn’t seem to care about that but it drives me NUTS! J was amazing in it tho!

[@CameronBrooks]

It’s sad how they don’t do one theater out of 10 that actually screen the super long version

[@ppgedez]

I like Cools, minty flavour.

[@Luke-ofStoke-Factor]

No video?

[@brightmutant4860]

can someone explain the G&G house to me? Isn't Jeremy married with kids; how is it possible he spends all his time at the content house? Unless he divorced his wife?

[@stevenangel8235]

Would love to hear thoughts on The Killer

[@seanoconnell2073]

This Friday!

[@SuperD00D]

Well 1 year down of that 6 years you mentioned at the beginning already 😭. Well, 11 months, anyway.

[@BelleXJ9]

joaquin and bam margera kinda sound similar

[@brightmutant4860]

I was so happy when Odin left to go hang out with his family out of indifference to DOCTOR WHO. Odin is the weakest link on FNT, he brings absolutely nothing to the table. He is neither intelligent nor charming nor informed. Ryan's box office analysis has far surpassed Odin's half-baked analyses. He shouldn't be on the show at all. He just kills the energy.

[@ΔεαΚ]

wah we have the same fam name

[@hoorayitsjackie6166]

Whoever did the chapters on this did a worthless job. You can’t just label the whole thing ‘interview’ you need to put what they are talking about. Geezus.

[@krisa990]

Joaqin Phoenix is just in his middle 40s and already looks like 10 year older at least then his age...I guess its all the hollywood partying?

[@davidcollins2648]

Joaquin is a great actor but couldn't save Napoleon from a farcical script. Hardly anything aside from the costumes and settings is based on historical reality. The film looks more like a character assassination and shattering the idea of a great man changing history by dint of his own efforts.

[@melaniep6964]

Well, Napoleon was such a complex person, so extremely hard to capture in just 2.5 hours. I understand historians being disappointed but it is hard to get bio pics exactly right anyways.

[@ElonMuskDailyLife]

This movie was an INSULT to the great French warrior and emperor's legacy. Gladiator was all good from this director but it seems like the WOKE hollywood slowly consumed HIS brain as well sadly. This movie could been such a masterpiece today when we are faced with LGBT & WOKE stuff in every single movies that comes out today and people are desperate to see a masterpiece historical movie with a epic story and emotions and actions with zero gay scene or someone being transgender or someone being black even though the original character were white to please the WOKE media. Sadly, this movie was a BIG Disappointment. Such a shame.

[@melaniep6964]

Hmm, ok, yawn!

[@Alex-fc8xn]

Of course you're a musk fanboy...

[@marccan1190]

Joaquin Phoenix is the worst Napoleon ever!
