I am amazed by the dedication he showed to this form of performance art by allowing himself to deteriorate so much physically. He was so fat and bloated by the end that he looked as though he could drop dead from a heart attack at any moment. It's going to take a lot of hard work to get back into shape, which he may well regret. De Niro really struggled after 'Raging Bull' to lose all that weight and said he'd never do that again.
COME ON PEOPLE I CALL BULL SPIT...NO ONE can claim now after the fact that they knew he was faking, at best you were on the fence. All I used to read is that he followed in his brothers foot steps people would go on tangents about how everyone in Hollywood is on drugs and a bunch of other crap. Just admit you were fooled and at best you were not 100% sure if it was a hoax or not but that you THOUGHT and only THOUGHT THAT IT JUST MIGHT BE a hoax but YOU were unsure. JUST ADMIT IT HE IS GOOD!
@ilichalopez Well I for one said that it was a hoax from the moment I saw him and I was never on the fence as you call it, he did a good job but I was not at all convinced. My only other concern was that he may have been mentally ill but I thought that to be far less likely than the real reason for this masquerade.
man your all dumbasses, you dont even know that "Im Still Here" is a mockumentary Phoenix just shows how retarded the media and stupid people really are, when i first heard of all this news i knew it was fake and now its confirmed- this goes to those who have been puttin him down since 08
Maybe it Is Joaquin's way of exposing how gullible the world is. Everything we see on T.V. must be a reality. I don't know how many people all of a sudden turned on the poor guy and were accusing him of being high on National television.
I wouldn't be too quick to dismiss this as being ENTIRELY a stunt or a hoax until Phoenix himself says it is...get it straight from the horse's mouth, I would say.
I kind of think that Letterman knew, had to start someplace. But, did not fool me. since he has been nominated for an Academy Award twice, I think that he can act.
Joaquin doesn't have to have a loyalty to his so-called 'fan's'. Hollywood & the whole celebrity/fan thing is the biggest farce, it's a super colossal joke, & I for one am glad to see Joaquin poke fun at the entire phony industry...& by the way, if anyone thinks he is serious, that this is not a well-orchestrated prank, well folks, come on....Hollywood takes life & shreds it into an unrecognisable mish-mash of gobbledygook they call 'art'....it's not real, its slick hyped-up fiction at best
It's totally obvious that Phoenix was putting on a stunt, his reaction time to the audience and Dave's comments were too quick for your average drugged-out junkie. Besides, this dude is one of the BEST actor's of our generation, he was bored and wanted to do something "outside the box" with his bro-in-law.
@TheBangorguy dont say "It's totally obvious that Phoenix was putting on a stunt"
no one dared to believe that it was a stunt but since the word is out, everyone is like "o yeah i knew it, he was doing the andy kaufman thing.... it was pretty obvious to me"
@Mattman003 watch the full interview. It's totally obvious that Phoenix was putting on a stunt, his reaction time to the audience and Dave's comments were too quick for your average drugged-out junkie. Besides, this dude is one of the BEST actor's of our generation, he was bored and wanted to do something "outside the box" with his bro-in-law.
Joaquin Phoenix and his brother river... both were victims of MK ULTRA MIND CONTROL PROGRAMMING, they're "handler's (hollywood mafia) did them both in hardcore like. research MK ULTRA... it's important to know if you watch celeberities. good luck take care.
When I first saw this, it caught me off guard and was blown away by his behavior. And that's ok if he burned Phoenix all throught out the interview, we ALL got to burn Letterman's unfunny ass when he came out with his bitch ass scandal. Hoax or not, Joaquin slapping his gum underneath the desk was the coolest thing I've seen in a long time!! And then asking Paul why in the hell is he giggling at when nothing's clearly funny was an OWNED moment!
Letterman is old hat at dealing with this kind of stuff considering he had Andy Kaufman on his show many times doing the same kind of is real or not act
I don't understand why people think he is so crazy in this interview. The way I see it, he is probably a little nervous about retiring and switching careers, plus letterman is making dueshy passive aggressive comments ("Can you tell us about your days with the unabomer"). I would feel awkward in that situation too. Plus the audience is borderline psychotic. Perfectly normal awkwardness to me.
@bennett5058 it actually DID turn out to be a hoax... supposedly. Casey Affleck directed a movie (mockumentary specifically) about joaquin phoenix trying to be a rapper and this huge fallout in his rap career.
the movie is reportedly coming out within the next year but idk if the movie is just a cover up for all of these events or if this is seriously just some career stunt to help boost interest and controversy for this film.
@thecool702 Yeah its awesome he had me like most people and i was like god dammit what happened to you Joaquin then i fond out it was part of a mokumentary and the world seems right again.
@irlegendz He was putting on this whole thing about how he was quitting acting and becomming a rapper. It was for a mocumentary but he had a lot of people thinking it was real. He went on letterman all fucked up acting. Anyways it was all for that movie and what not
@irlegendz Hey, lazybones, you obviously have a computer, just google the guy and investigate the whole story like us other mortals did instead of asking to be spoonfed the information.
You can fake being stoned wether you can see the eyes or not.... actors do it in movies all the time unless they are really stoned for their movie roles (which I doubt).
@paulosio fake stoned is one of the easiest things to see in the galaxy,hardly no stoned man acts like they do in the movies were they have 1 drag on a joint and instantly the way they walk and talk changes
storyline: Joaquin Pheonix becomes famous actor, grows beard and hair, plans to change career, everybody starts making theories, he fools alot of people, films what he is doing, realeses it, and it becomes one of the funniest documentaries of all time. end of story
i read in mum celebrity goss magazines hes being helped out of suicidal brink by miley cirus or some other unusal celebrity... definately a young, pop star or acrtress anyone else read bout this... reat actor: best one is 'We own the night'
This was a prank. He really does it well because he is such a good actor. If you notice closely there area couple times where he almost cracks..he is trying hard not to laugh... but then he is able to compose himself. Plus for everyone who is concerned look him up or something. He is Ok. He has been seen plenty of times acting like his usual self. This was hilarious.
i can tell you this. something did happened. when?
well i remember watching one time oprah and he was on that show with some other actors. he came out first to talk with oprah then others came after. i remember he was not at his best. he was very shy and nervous. he couldn't talk normally. he was dressed in a black suit and i think it was one other male and female actors who joined after about 5 minutes. it was somethin about one movie. that was the period something did happened to him
Are you guys just that stupid - no messed up guy would walk that well to the chair. This is what is called being had - the guy is "acting" - that you can't see that just means you are blind.
It wasn't a hoax. If you watch the full video, you'll see that Letterman was extremely disrespectful to Joaquin early on. That's when he pulled back and stopped being receptive to Letterman. Definitely not a good choice for his PR, but justified by Letterman's rudeness.
alot of people keep saying its all a joke. that may be a possibility but honestly if it were a joke i think he would have fessed up to it by now.. i think hes serious. hollywood does this sort of thing to people all the time. why are we so suprised? what he needs is people to love him unconditionaly he needs jesus! :)
@Katibug16 The longer he doesn't "fess up" to it, the better the effect and the better the joke. He even has that dipshit Dr. Drew worried for him - dumbass - that he is
He wasn't pretending to be a drug addict. If it is just for a fake documentary (I believe it is) then he was pretending to be an actor transitioning to music. People assumed he was/is on drugs.
Yeah, I do but I don't. Anyway, did you hear the news about the documentary being 'strange' and how they're looking for a buyer? It seems like this was a good idea gone horribly wrong.
@lavinder11 Wikipedia: "In an interview given earlier the same day[as Letterman] for CinemaBlend com, Phoenix seemed completely coherent.[37]" . . ..
Also, he did the PETA ad after Letterman. He is reported to have said “It’s a put-on. I’m going to pretend to have a meltdown and change careers, and Casey is going to film it.”
|
Bottom line is that the guy is a great actor and we are at his mercy. I think he is still messing with our heads. God Bless his hilarious self.
Thanks for that, I didn't know about those interviews. Hopefully they didn't bruise too many egos to where he wouldn't be respected as an actor anymore.
@tiffiecole Actually, the whole thing is a hoax. So the joke in on us. Anyway, lots of people are murdered and other people's lives are ruined because of the drugs trade.
This is just a demonstration of his brilliant acting. If he were on drugs, as many people seem to be assuming, why the hell wud Casey Affleck (his bro in law and presumably a nice guy) be following him around with a camera instead of getting him help......?
I think that its just funny that people don't get it....he is acting. And I can finally say that I've seen it all...people on youtube that give a diagnosis on a person's health and mental conditions just by seeing a video....and i can bet that you are not a doctor and if you were....you must be a really bad one....
guarentee its a hoax, honestly u can tell he is performing, and u can see where he loses his focus every now n then with like a smile or a small laugh.
YES! This was a publicity stunt and was all planned. He's a damn good actor, because he's got a lot of you convinced he was drunk, high, or a mental case.
i think it was fake because at the end joaquin shakes lettermans hand and takes off his sunglasses, but who knows he might be on drugs or he is a really good actor, maybe all of the above.
I saw another interview were he was weird, i don't know if he's on something or has bi-polar or is just doing it on purpose, but i want Joaquin back D:
Am I the only one who realizes what is really going on? Just like other celebs, he got hooked on heroin, etc. and he is expressing all the symptoms of such. I think his character in Gladiator was just awesome, but drugs have walked into his life.
Here's the dead give away. At the end of the interview, Phoenix approach the (Bed)Wetterman and shakes his hand. He slyly lifts his sun glasses and presumably winks.
This is an act, probably the best act in modern times.
Not a single person can say with 100% certainty that he is just acting or he is on drugs. We do not know! We can only speculate. But i have to say, he doesn't have a single interview where he acts normal after he grew his beard.
he's making some sort of andy kaufman inspired flim with casey affleck. phoenix is a genius- i'd call this avant-garde acting for sure. he's got you fooled
andy kauffman (excuse the spelling) revisited. It's a prank. Watch right at the end when dave says I'm sorry joaquin (excuse the spelling) couldn't be here tonight, that smile and laugh is because he knew it was funny and it temporarily broke his character.
He's on Heroin, everyone's laughing and making fun now but when he ends up dead everyone will feel sorry for him and talk about how wonderful he was like they do everyone else that has died from that shit. It's not funny, he needs help.
Got to say - not that funny is it really - don't know what's up with the audience. It's embarrassing all round. This Letterman chap is a bell end. Sicko.
He's serious i saw him in the groove in miami rapping and he jump off the stage and went nuts on some dudes that were moking him... he's on something, weird dude... brilliant actor
Definitely not a hoax..... b/c Phoenix made his "rapping" debut in Vegas and fell over at the end of his performance... probably b/c he was so HIGH... he is a VERY talented actor and I hope he gets some help.... still a HUGE fan
Yea sure. Then why is Casey Afflek running around with a camera and filming it all the time. and when they ask him he just say "uuuhhhmmmm" i have to go. Your easily fooled. Yes i know. I got some spelling wrong. Second language.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
FoCuS138.... Grow up or I'll come round and fuck your dad up his hoop... just like I did when I got him pregnant with you. You fucking dumb spunk-monkey arse-wipe. Don't bother replying, because your inane dribble won't have the forcefullness to penetrate my wit!. COCKMASTER.
haha wow... I'm sure it had nothing to do w/ homosexuals... more likely he is addicted to a drug(s), and is in a diff state of mind... Obviously the film industry, specifically Hollywood is full of douchebags, but there are plenty of genuine people as well who want to make good films... I don't blame him for leaving acting b/c it's his life and he can do as he pleases... but after seeing this interview, he is clearly have some substance-abuse problems.
Maybe because he's a rapper now...someone will try and pop a cap in his ass. Not kill him, but shoot his butt crack off! And really, the "Old Joaquin" wasn't any great shakes to begin with!!
It's for real As Casey hinted, it's a little bit of both. Joaquin Phoenix is never going to "break character," or admit the rapping was all a hoax, because it's not. Phoenix really does
Lol just a minute ago I saw his other interview with letterman and he looked great! :D And in this one ....he looked like a hobo -.-

He wasn't pretending to be a drug addict. If it is just for a fake documentary (I believe it is) then he was pretending to be an actor transitioning to music. People assumed he was/is on drugs.

Yeah, I do but I don't. Anyway, did you hear the news about the documentary being 'strange' and how they're looking for a buyer? It seems like this was a good idea gone horribly wrong.

@lavinder11 Wikipedia: "In an interview given earlier the same day[as Letterman] for CinemaBlend com, Phoenix seemed completely coherent.[37]" . . ..
Also, he did the PETA ad after Letterman. He is reported to have said “It’s a put-on. I’m going to pretend to have a meltdown and change careers, and Casey is going to film it.”

Bottom line is that the guy is a great actor and we are at his mercy. I think he is still messing with our heads. God Bless his hilarious self.

Thanks for that, I didn't know about those interviews. Hopefully they didn't bruise too many egos to where he wouldn't be respected as an actor anymore.

Joaquin Phoenix is totally spun out on dope. Fucking looser. All his money going to drug dealers. He should be shot.
tryanjohnson 1 year ago
@tryanjohnson - You're horrible!!! Nobody should "be shot" just for having a drug problem! And he is NOT a loser! Get your act together.

JOAQUIN IS FOOLING U ALL.
This is just a demonstration of his brilliant acting. If he were on drugs, as many people seem to be assuming, why the hell wud Casey Affleck (his bro in law and presumably a nice guy) be following him around with a camera instead of getting him help......?
THIS IS A MASSIVE, FREAKIN FUNNY PRANK.

YES! This was a publicity stunt and was all planned. He's a damn good actor, because he's got a lot of you convinced he was drunk, high, or a mental case.

i think it was fake because at the end joaquin shakes lettermans hand and takes off his sunglasses, but who knows he might be on drugs or he is a really good actor, maybe all of the above.

@krumplatino
This is not a hoax. I'm afraid that Phoenix suffers from a psychic illness, mental pain, psychological problems, call it as you prefer.
He's sick, but not sick as you often mean it, as "bitterly funny". He's sick in the sense that he feels unwell and needs cures, medical treatment.

Am I the only one who realizes what is really going on? Just like other celebs, he got hooked on heroin, etc. and he is expressing all the symptoms of such. I think his character in Gladiator was just awesome, but drugs have walked into his life.

Here's the dead give away. At the end of the interview, Phoenix approach the (Bed)Wetterman and shakes his hand. He slyly lifts his sun glasses and presumably winks.
This is an act, probably the best act in modern times.

Not a single person can say with 100% certainty that he is just acting or he is on drugs. We do not know! We can only speculate. But i have to say, he doesn't have a single interview where he acts normal after he grew his beard.

andy kauffman (excuse the spelling) revisited. It's a prank. Watch right at the end when dave says I'm sorry joaquin (excuse the spelling) couldn't be here tonight, that smile and laugh is because he knew it was funny and it temporarily broke his character.

He's on Heroin, everyone's laughing and making fun now but when he ends up dead everyone will feel sorry for him and talk about how wonderful he was like they do everyone else that has died from that shit. It's not funny, he needs help.

hollywood's infested with homos. i don't blame joaquin for leaving that bidness.
FoCuS138 2 years ago
haha wow... I'm sure it had nothing to do w/ homosexuals... more likely he is addicted to a drug(s), and is in a diff state of mind... Obviously the film industry, specifically Hollywood is full of douchebags, but there are plenty of genuine people as well who want to make good films... I don't blame him for leaving acting b/c it's his life and he can do as he pleases... but after seeing this interview, he is clearly have some substance-abuse problems.

It's for real As Casey hinted, it's a little bit of both. Joaquin Phoenix is never going to "break character," or admit the rapping was all a hoax, because it's not. Phoenix really does
