Nathan Lane says that Joaquin Phoenix couldn’t make eye contact with him while filming BeauisAfraid.
Nathan Lane revealed on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon that his Beau Is Afraid co-star couldn't make direct eye contact with the actor while filming their upcoming project. While Lane insists that he and Joaquin Phoenix "really hit it off" on the set of the new Ari Aster-directed film, he explained they have "very different sensibilities", going on to reveal that Phoenix was unable to look him in the eye for fear he would "break up" from laughter.
Explaining the pairs conflicting on-set presences, Lane joked that Phoenix is "very intense, and I'm just tense," going on to speak of how his co-star "thought I was funny... so just know that in every close-up and in a scene with me, he's looking directly at my nose" as to avoid breaking character mid-take. Lane had high praise for the star though, declaring him "brilliant" and "the finest actor working in films today.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Speaking of the film, Lane joked that he likes to "call it the Jewish Everything Everywhere All at Once," and "an epic tale of guilt and codependency—the story of my life." He also described the film as "one man's surreal, nightmarish odyssey to see his mother.
Beau Is Afraid opens in theaters on April 21. You can watch the segment from The Tonight Show down below.
