10 Actors Who Wouldn’t Talk To Each Other On Set

10. Joaquin Phoenix Didn't Like Talking To De Niro All That Much On Set - Joker

Different actors have different processes.

And in the case of eventual Oscar-winner Joaquin Phoenix, the Joker star isn't exactly the biggest fan of reading through a script with the rest of his cast-mates in the lead-up to shooting a picture, feeling that he works better when just performing in the moment opposite his fellow actors.

Robert De Niro, however, is someone known for being fond of hearing the whole movie in a room with all involved before getting out onto set to film the project.

Ultimately, Phoenix was convinced to mumble his way through the read. But after kissing and making up on the back of that early read-through drama, the pair proceeded to barely utter a word to one another throughout the rest of the shoot.

Despite De Niro being the leading man's "favourite American actor", outside of a "good morning" on their first day, Phoenix "didn't like" talking to his co-star and couldn't recall many conversations with Bob on set.

Both men clearly felt there wasn't any need to do much chatting when the cameras stopped rolling, with De Niro also adding that they didn't need to talk about anything outside of the scene and it "made it simpler" to just "do the work" and "relate as the characters to each other."
