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 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.

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.

Joaquin Phoenix refused to work out for Gladiator (2000). While the cast pumped iron, he chose to remain soft. He wanted Commodus to look like a pampered royal whose power came entirely from status, not physical strength.

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.

Joaquin Phoenix made one of Gladiator’s (2000) most terrifying moments unforgettable. Instead of delivering “Am I not merciful?” calmly, he screamed it at Connie Nielsen. She was caught off guard, and Ridley Scott kept her genuine reaction on film.

Trump explains why he called Haley ‘Nimbra’: “It’s just a little takeoff on her name - wherever she may come from. I look at her name. I look at a lot of people. I do a lot of names for people. Some people say I’m very good at that.”

Biden: I served in the senate for 270 years. I know I only look 40, but I'm a little bit older. For the longest time I was too damn young because I was only 29 when I got elected, now I'm too damn old.

Joaquin Phoenix and Philip Seymour Hoffman’s chemistry was so good they could barely get through a scene in The Master (2012) Joaquin said: “He is shaking with energy, I did not want him to look at me, I didn’t want to make eye contact with him”
