Joaquin Phoenix refused to work out for Gladiator (2000). He wanted Commodus to look like a spoiled emperor whose power came from status, not strength, which makes his cruelty feel even more unsettling.

For Gladiator (2000), Joaquin Phoenix refused to work out while the rest of the crew trained hard. When Ridley Scott heard a producer call him “fat,” Phoenix argued saying, Commodus should look like a “little fat hamster” — powerful by status, not strength.

Joaquin Phoenix gave the best performance in Gladiator (2000). He somehow made Commodus sympathetic, which is remarkable considering the real emperor was nothing more than a vain, brutal egomaniac.

While making GLADIATOR (2000), Joaquin Phoenix was l told that Ridley Scott thought he looked “too fat” for Commodus. Phoenix confronted: “I hear I look like a little fat hamster, but I’m the Emperor of Rome. Why shouldn’t I look a little debauched?”

Joaquin Phoenix is truly on another level. 🔥 He almost gave up on playing Commodus in Gladiator. During the first script readings, he felt so unsure of himself that he approached Richard Harris (Marcus Aurelius in the film) and admitted he couldn’t capture the character’s evil nature. Harris encouraged him, reminding him that real darkness often comes from vulnerability — not power. That support helped Phoenix unlock the fragile cruelty that made Commodus so unforgettable. The performance earned him his first Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor. He didn’t win the Oscar, but he won something bigger — his place among the greatest actors of his generation. 🎬

Joaquin Phoenix’s Oscar-nominated performance as Commodus in Gladiator was one of the first things I thought of after seeing Robert Pattinson’s performance as Antinous in The Odyssey. Cowards…played to perfection. I would love nothing more than to see Pattinson earn an Oscar nomination for Nolan’s latest. Pattinson- like Phoenix- was so easy to hate.

A Stoic stood up to an emperor and refused to betray his duty—even when it cost him everything. “You do your job, I’ll do mine.” That’s what courage looks like. Not silence. Not loyalty to power. Loyalty to what’s right.

Napoleon turned out to be one of the more disappointing films of the decade. I expected so much from this film - including from Joaquin Phoenix, who finally reunited with Ridley Scott after Gladiator. But this movie didn’t come anywhere near its full potential for a few reasons.

⭐️: Everyone, please give me strength 🫴🏻 Thank you. Now.. to be honest, I came here today because I wanted to receive some strength. Okay, now that I’ve received strength, I’ll also try to work even harder! That’s it for today. Fighting! There’s no particular reason… really, I just wanted to receive some strength. Also, I came since I rolled a six on the (face) dice today (he looks good). Then, I’ll get going~ #SEONGHWA #성화

Mamdani: What we've seen over many years is a willingness to not only explain away the status quo, but frankly, even to look to benefit from the status quo. And that's not what working people are looking for from our party.

A Leopard can't change its spot. Scott Maphuma got a beautiful gift from one of his fans. In fact it's a frame of one of his portraits. Arrogance refused to leave him even though his fans wanted to show him love for his consistency. Bad attitude is like a flat tyre. He should learn that it will not take him anywhere.

What this man is smoking is too dangerous for him. Trying to justify illegality in our country is not going to help him. He makes me more interested in finding out his legal status in South Africa.

A lot of people know Michael Rooker from GOTG, which makes it easy to forget how often he built his career playing absolute scumbags. He had a knack for finding something ugly, or unsettling in a character without ever pushing it into caricature.

"Trump will engage in these distractions, but he wouldn't need to if he was able to deliver what he promised: a more affordable America. He's not. He is the sole impediment to affordability because he wanted to engage in a trade war that serves as a consumption tax on Americans. He wanted to cut Medicaid and ACA subsidies, which make healthcare more affordable. He wanted to cut food assistance, which makes food more affordable. The thing standing in the way of Trump delivering his promises is Donald Trump himself."
