Joaquin Phoenix – Medical Weight Loss

For his role in ‘Joker,’ Joaquin Phoenix had to push his body to the limit by losing an outrageous amount of weight in quite a short span. The feat, which doctors warn anyone against trying, was needed for the main character in the blockbuster.

While the exact method used is not in the public domain, the movie star was under constant medical supervision as he was attempting the impossible – losing 52 pounds in a little over a month. Joaquin pulled it off and delivered a masterclass performance! Some Hollywood stars go to the world’s lengths to entertain us, and he is one of them. Whew!
