Lady Gaga Stars as Harley Quinn in Joker 2

Lady Gaga's portrayal of Harley Quinn in the upcoming movie Joker: Folie à Deux has had a profound impact on her personal life, particularly in her relationship with fiancé Michael Polansky. Gaga revealed that she became so immersed in her character, referred to as Lee, that it influenced their home life and inspired her new album, Harlequin, which features reimagined covers and two original songs. She emphasized the complexity of her character, aiming to portray a woman who embodies both danger and sweetness, and noted that Polansky played a significant role in the album's creation. Gaga expressed that their artistic collaboration stemmed from Polansky's deep understanding of her character and their shared experiences. The film, which stars Joaquin Phoenix alongside Gaga, explores the tumultuous relationship between the Joker and Harley Quinn, and Gaga aims to bring empathy to her character's chaotic nature. Their engagement was recently highlighted at the Paris Olympics by French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal.
