Lady Gaga Transforms for Harley Quinn in "Joker: Folie à Deux"
Lady Gaga is stepping into the shoes of Harley Quinn in the highly anticipated sequel, "Joker: Folie à Deux," and she's making some significant changes to her usual performance style. In an exclusive interview, she shared that taking on this iconic role required her to shed her typical onstage bravado. Gaga, born Stefani Germanotta, emphasized that this transformation was essential for her portrayal of Lee Quinzel, the Joker's love interest, as it aligns with the film’s darker, more intimate themes.
She revealed that the process involved stripping away all the showmanship and theatricality that usually define her performances. “All the showmanship, all the bravado of being on stage, all the things that I do as Gaga that come naturally to me, I tried to completely do away with those things,” she explained. This shift in approach allowed her to explore a more nuanced, vulnerable side of Harley Quinn, giving audiences a fresh perspective on the character.

Gaga's dedication to her role extended to her singing technique as well. Known for her powerful vocal presence, she intentionally unlearned some of her traditional methods to create a more subdued and breathy singing style. “I tried to breathe incorrectly,” she shared. She also avoided the vocal placements she typically employs during performances. This commitment to authenticity resulted in a character that complements Joaquin Phoenix’s portrayal of the Joker, particularly in their musical duets throughout the film.
“Folie à Deux” is not just a sequel to the acclaimed 2019 film "Joker," which earned Phoenix an Academy Award for Best Lead Actor; it also serves as a musical that delves into the complexities of love and madness. The film has generated significant buzz, especially considering the original "Joker" surpassed the $1 billion mark at the global box office. Gaga’s portrayal of Harley Quinn promises to explore the chaotic relationship between the Joker and Quinzel in a way that has not been seen before.
As Gaga prepares to unveil her interpretation of Harley Quinn, fans are eagerly anticipating what she will bring to this multifaceted character. With her incredible talent and willingness to step out of her comfort zone, it’s clear that "Joker: Folie à Deux" will showcase an unforgettable performance that adds a new layer to the Harley Quinn legend. The film, produced by Warner Bros. Pictures, hits theaters today, inviting audiences to experience a haunting yet beautiful exploration of love amidst the madness.
