When Miley Cyrus taught Joaquin Phoenix who Lady Gaga was
While she was already a huge star, the Joker actor didn't really know who his future Folie à Deux partner was.
It's a fun video from 2010 that has just been released on the web and social networks. We see Miley Cyrus give a lesson in pop culture to Joaquin Phoenix. She is 17, he is 35. The actress Hannah Montana asks the actor to Gladiator : “You know who is Lady Gaga ?”
It's unclear to what extent Phoenix is fooling around. But he answers : “Very good… She sings 'Everybody Goes Up', and also 'Two Lashes at a Time!' Two titles obviously invented by the actor, who has obviously never heard of the singer who released her flagship album, “The Fame” two years earlier – but who, it is true, was not yet an actress (A star is born will not be released until 2018). As a result, Miley Cyrus gives him a little blast of “Bad Romance”, to refresh his memory. But no, Joaquin Phoenix didn't know who was Lady Gaga…
14 years ago, Miley Cyrus educated Joaquin Phoenix on Lady Gaga and now we have the Joker 2. Thank You Miley.pic.twitter.com/GDEWl2WvvH

Funny, when we know that 14 years later, this year he shares the poster with her in Joker: Folie à Deux, which will be released in theaters on October 4, 2024 and which will certainly be one of the big hits of the year. We can bet that when the promotional tour begins, Joaquin Phoenix will be questioned about this video and we will have the end of this story!
