‘Joker’ actor Joaquin Phoenix has made a big announcement for filmgoers even though he said it jokingly, the information is essential for the ‘Beau Is Afraid’ audience. The advice consists of not taking mushrooms in theatres while you visit to watch the movie.

According to Deadline, a US-based media house, Phoenix said in an interview, “I was told from someone in college that there was this college thread amongst friends, a challenge they were going to take mushrooms and go see this movie. And I just wanted to make a public service announcement and say do not take mushrooms and go see this f—ing movie.”

“But if you do it, film yourself. But don’t do it!” the actor added. Phoenix looked super excited about the movie. As an add-on to the advice, he suggested watching the movie in IMAX only to experience it thoroughly.
