Jared told E!, “I did a lot of things to create a dynamic, to create an element of surprise, of spontaneity, and to really break down any kind of walls that may be there. I mean, the Joker is somebody who doesn’t really respect things like personal space or boundaries. If you’re gonna have that kind of party, at least invite the Croc. You know what I mean? Don’t send me your dirty leftovers. That just isn’t right. You see why he ain’t part of the squad, right?”
However, in 2021, Jared told Entertainment Weekly that he was a “good boy” on set. He said, “Any of the very few gifts that were ever given were given with a spirit of fun and adventure and received with laughter, fun, and adventure. It’s all filmed! They filmed it all! People were dying. We were just having a goof… The only gifts I ever gave Margot were cupcakes. I think I gave her a mouse, and some of the other guys got gifts that you’d get as a joke at a party.
… I’m playing a guy called the Joker, it’s okay to play some jokes. Nothing ever crossed any lines, and it’s not up to other people on the internet to create those lines. I’m an artist at the end of the day. If I do something risky and you don’t like it, basically, you can kiss my ass.”
