In a recent interview, Lady Gaga opened up about her transformative experience playing Harley Quinn in the highly anticipated sequel Joker: Folie à Deux. The pop icon and Oscar-nominated actress revealed that the intense nature of the role not only had a significant impact on her but also on her relationship with her fiancé, entrepreneur Michael Polansky.
Speaking candidly about her journey while preparing for the role, Gaga said, “Harley Quinn is a character that lives in extremes, and I had to tap into parts of myself I didn’t even know existed. It had a deeply profound effect on me, emotionally and mentally, and I carried that home with me more than I expected.”
The House of Gucci star shared that the dark and complex nature of Harley Quinn forced her to confront feelings she had long buried. “I’m known for immersing myself in my roles, but Harley was different. She challenged me in ways that felt incredibly raw,” Gaga explained.
While this level of dedication is nothing new for the A Star Is Born actress, she admitted that the emotional toll of portraying such a chaotic character affected her off-screen life as well, particularly her relationship with Polansky. “Michael has been my rock through this. He’s seen me go to some pretty dark places with this role, and it’s changed the way we communicate and support each other.”
Gaga added that the experience has brought them closer. “He understands me in ways that no one else does. We’ve both grown from this—me as an artist, and us as a couple. I couldn’t have done this without him.”
Fans have been eagerly awaiting Joker: Folie à Deux, especially with Gaga stepping into the shoes of Harley Quinn alongside Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker. The movie, set to release in 2025, has been creating a buzz for its all-star cast and its rumored musical elements, a perfect fit for Gaga’s vast talents.
As excitement builds for the film, Gaga’s comments offer a glimpse into her emotional journey while embodying one of the most unpredictable and beloved characters in the DC universe. “I wanted to do justice to Harley and make her my own, but that came with its own challenges,” she said.
With Lady Gaga’s powerful performance and the backing of her supportive fiancé, Joker 2 promises to be a cinematic experience that audiences won’t forget—and one that’s left a lasting mark on Gaga’s personal life as well.
