'Joker’ star Joaquin Phoenix leaves interview after being asked if movie will ‘inspire’ violence foxnews.com

Joaquin Phoenix recently walked away from an interview with "The Telegraph" after a reporter asked a question about the potential for his new flick, "Joker," to inspire violence. 

The U.K. paper's journalist, Robbie Collin, asked the 44-year-old actor: "Aren’t you worried that this film might perversely end up inspiring exactly the kind of people it’s about, with potentially tragic results?"

Per Collin, Phoenix responded: "'Why would you…? No… no.'" He then walked out of the room.
