The standalone Joker movie released recently has bagged acclamation for the actor Joaquin Phoenix.
The actor was praised for his impeccable performance in the movie.
The way Joaquin has beautifully portrayed the feeling of isolation experienced by the people who are misunderstood by society.
Apart from the whole world that is applauding Joaquin for his work in Joker, there is one person who can literally connect with the character, Arthur Fleck, in Joker. Scott Lotan suffers from a pathological laughing disorder that makes him laugh like Arthur from Joker.
A resident of Virginia Beach, USA, Scott Lotan has pseudobulbar affect, symptoms of multiple sclerosis causing laughing fits that often lasts up to 10 minutes. Apart from being completely exhausting and suffering pain, this pathological laughing disorder has brought Scott embarrassment in public.
Scott also added that he had been fired from many jobs just because of his peculiar disorder. Recently he was fired from a restaurant as waitstaff was being uncomfortable with his disorder.
Over the years, Scott has gone through many incidents that made him hate his own life. The disorder is nearly incurable, Scott can never control his laughing fits that often end up in unpleasant events.
He further added, there have been times when he was out with his friends, and one of those laughing fits shows up. Some people with low esteem think that Scott is laughing on them and try starting a fight.
There have been instances when his laughter fits have got him into trouble. Scott reminisces one of the tragedies that happened in his life.
His fiancée and mother died in a car accident when they were returning from an engagement party. Scott burst into laughing when police entered the scene.
He had to isolate himself because his laughter fits were making people uncomfortable. The movie Joker has beautifully highlighted the disorder and brought it into mainstream cinema.
