Where's Joaquin Phoenix

[goose]

By now,  I am sure everyone has heard that he is not going to act anymore.  Rather, he wants to be an R&B musician.  Check out this clip from Letterman a couple nights ago.

yeah can't figure out what's up w/him? meth? heroin? just alcohol? just bored w/his career? he's a great actor but i'm sure he's not right in the head.

[Soulshine]

I watched that the other night and I was physcially pained watching him go through that interview. I have no idea what is going on with him, but whatever it is isn't good.

[goose]

Yeah, he has some issues right now.  If he puts his mind to it, he can probably be a fine musician.  It is just getting out of that funk.

Supposedly a joke or something.

Here is the full clip, shows a lot more.

Casey Affleck is following him around with a camera for a documentary, which is making some speculate that his supposed decent into insanity is an act.

Hopefully this is the case, because not only will it be funny, but that means hell be acting again

I was under the assumption everyone knew this was a supposed hoax.  I'm really hoping he's running it into the ground.

Cool..I wish I could make headlines by putting on 30 lbs and looking like a slob  ;D

On another note, he grew that beard crazy fast!! Seemed like that was only 2 months ago or so when he made the initial announcement, and his beard is ginormous

[the sun and moon]

I think it's a hoax.

[goose]

well, if it's a hoax, check this one out about Casey.  i just saw this off the Phoenix link above.

i get the feeling he's TRYING to rip off jj's look, excepting the sunglasses...
regardless, he's definitely trying to be something he's not.

[mjkoehler]

I thought he was going for the Jim Morrison look actually.

[ritchiem4812]

Joaquin has got one thing that neither of those great beards have...

The bald, scar spot.

What, a hippy?

I certainly don't think he's 'ripping off' anyone's image or 'trying to be something he's not'

Let's not forget that his parent's were hippies/travellers/members of a religious cult & that his name was once Leaf (brother to River, Liberty, Rain & Summer) So I would say he looks (& is acting) a lot like the way he was brought up. Throw the death of his brother & some drugs (a lot of drugs?!!) into the equation & maybe that goes someway towards explaining his recent behavior.
He's always been a little 'out there' (I remember a red carpet interview from a few years back when he kept talking about a frog in his hair) + he suffered some kind of breakdown whilst filming Walk The Line.

Makes me feel sad, I think he's an excellent actor & wish him all the best, whatever he decides to do. I just hope he doesn't go the same way his brother went...

When I was at my grandparents for dinner earlier today, my Grandma even asked me "Did you see that Phoenix from Walk the Line on Letterman last night??"

I say yeah, I saw it.

My grandfather interjects, "He looked like he was on all kinds of drugs"

Even the senior citizens know about Joaquin's meltdown  :D ;D :D

[ChronicHunger]

could he be inline for the jerry in the dead movie?????
