  • arseholes

  • poor Joaquin :(

  • david è un grande

  • he's like a mix of leonard hofstadter and the guy from the hangover

  • @MrM1N1Mi

    haha, i just posted something like that on FB just now. funny how i saw your comment just a few minutes after posting it.

  • What a pity that bullies are given chat shows so they can snigger at the eccentric, bewildered and unstable.

    David letterman is scum, as too are the audience for laughing, and worst still, coming back for more.

  • @bottleoverhead

    I agree.

  • from what i read in my mums magazines.... he was actually loosing it and heading for suicidal breakdown.... but is being helped out by some unusual young celebrity singer or actress... maybe miley cirus - it was front page of NOW or sumfing a few weeks back

  • mood levellers. Gotta be. Why are all of these rich fucking actors wacked out on some cult or depressed and on prescription drugs?

  • This is sad. There's obviously something wrong with him and they're making fun of it. This is hard to watch.

  • @zombieninja28 he could very well be pulling a ruse over people's heads.

  • Letterman really knows how to work his roomful of tame laughing chimpanzeees.

  • A big set up !!

  • fuck the audience, fuck letterman, Joaquin is obviously pissing himself inside at what c*nts they all are, laughing at letterman who blatently isn't funny at all. If he is drunk it's probably to dull out the twats that suck lettermans ring.

  • Comment removed

  • You had to be sure this was all just a big joke but Joaquin hasn't done any films since so maybe the guy has really lost his mind...

  • This is gold. This will sell millions of movies about his rapping career when it comes out.

  • is this the guy from kings?

  • they just do this to get attention they still a dress they get six movie deals.they freak out in th middle of hollywood blvd get a movie deal.its showbiz

  • lettermans a douche

  • He's a good actor, but not good enough, because I can still tell he's acting.

  • What the hell was he on?

  • they are both douche bags

  • Gin ftw!

  • Look, Joaquin Phoenix was being a whack job and David Letterman just called him on it. JP is a drug addict like his brother.

  • Absolutely. You can totally tell he's an addict if you've ever been or been around addicts. He's totally out of touch and taking himself really seriously.

  • I'm not gonna watch letterman again just because of this

  • That wasn't cool to say 'is Joaquin Phoenix present for his interview?' that's wrong on many levels.

  • letterman is a hater

  • This is amazing. Is this what happened to Andy Kaufman at some point before he got famous?

  • @over9000christian lol shut up christian. No one believe's in you anymore.

  • @over9000christian No one asked you! I'm Christian, but I don't go around telling people this shit. No one wants to hear it. They will repent if they want to, if not, STFU! You can't make people do anything. For a Christian, you sure seem JUDGMENTAL. Typical. YOU can't even follow the teachings, yet you try and force it on others. It isn't your place. Fuck off!

  • @GeneralKenobiSIYE

    The Bible says that we Christians are to warn the wicked(Ezekiel 3:18) and that we are to spread the gospel(Mark 16:15). Your message indicates that you are not really a Christian, and the Bible says I will know you by your fruits. Your hindrance of the gospel reveals that there's a 99% chance you aren't really saved. The Bible warns that if you deny Christ before men, He will deny YOU before the Father(Matthew 10:33). That means you won't be saved.

    You'd better REPENT now

  • @over9000christian It says spread the word not try and cram it down people's throats. There is a 100% chance that YOU are not a real Christian because you are judging me and you don't know me. I have NEVER denied Christ. It's just really dick of you to try and force others into it. And it's the Ordained who are suppose to spread the word. Not intolerant shits like you. Consider yourself PWNED. I am threw with you.

  • @GeneralKenobiSIYE

    Yes, I don't know you personally, but I can get a good idea of your state by your fruits(Matthew 7:16). The Bible says that you can deny Christ by your actions(Titus 1:16), while professing to know Him. ALL Christians are to spread the word. You seem chock full of Pride, and the Bible warns that pride goeth before destruction, and a Haughty spirit before a fall(Proverbs 6:18). MANY will say "Lord Lord" on judgment Day only to go to Hell(Matthew 7:21-23).

  • @over9000christian That's the pot calling the kettle black there son. And you know NOTHING of my actions. You know NOTHING of my "fruits". So STFU already. No one wants to hear your holier than thou bullshit. Just go away already.

  • @GeneralKenobiSIYE

    Telling another Christian to stop spreading the word? That's not exactly good "fruit". You're either for Christ or you're against Him(Matthew 12:30), and if you're for Him, you would prove that by not telling people to quit preaching.

    I'll let God be the judge between us, and as for you, examine yourself to see if you're truly in the faith(1 Corinthians 13:5).

  • @over9000christian You are NOT spreading the word. There is a difference between spreading the word and trying to cram it down people's throats. You go about it all wrong. You are NOT preaching. You are judging and trying to FORCE your beliefs on others. Stop it!! This is part of why so many people are turned off by religion. Because people like you judge them and try to force yourselves onto them. Youtube is NOT the place. you just piss people off. No one wants to see it.

  • @over9000christian It's the kind of thing that needs to be done face to face. For you to show them, not just tell them by quoting bible verses. That gets old really fast. You are coming off as though you think yourself superior to everyone who does not believe. Non believer aren't going to read your garbage and suddenly think to themselves "Wow! I've really got to change! I've been a sinner! Why.. from this moment on, I am a born again Christian." Doesn't happen that way.

  • @over9000christian and if it does, they are not really "born again". They simply use it to run from their personal demons and usually fall right back into their old lives down the road, when something goes wrong, because they don't have true faith. So again. Stop it. No one wants to reach that on youtube.

  • @GeneralKenobiSIYE  Could you and over9000christian just plz STFU, and watch this without your preaching, wtf is this?? 3rd grade, would both of you plz just get a life and move on, proving you can debate on youtube doesn't make you smarter. and over9000christian why are you preaching on a youtube vid? are you fuckin nuts?

  • weirdo

  • 3:04 is hilarious..... letterman just about lost it....

  • at the beginning I thought Joaquin has completely lost i !! then i found out that this was an act for a mockumentary or something I was relieved.

    If it was true, what a waste of talent he have becomed

  • @232none please god tell me this is legit, i was so upset when i saw this, this man is an artist, and it truly pained me to see him like this.

  • @jessophibic according to diddy who is mentoring Phoenix, he's quite legit.

  • ok, i wasnt sure who this guy was when i first saw him so i googled him and i immediatley recognized his old pic as commodus from gladiator.. WOW thts so strange i cant beleive thts really him; now he looks like the fat guy from the hangover :L

  • Act or not, he certainly has quit acting. He hasn't been in a movie for four years now.

  • @wappsterific He's been in a couple actually. Two Lovers was his most recent in 2009

  • @CampbellofNZ Yeah, but he had already done that movie before that Interview. He has not been in a movie after the interview.

  • how does anyone still not realize that he is acting here and its all part of his act for publicity and to set up a mockumentary in production? i mean seriously?

  • Poor guy, his brother River said in an interview before he died that he was sexually abused at the age of 4 in the children of God cult.

    I wonder if Joaquin went though the same thing.

  • @Marielalaura given that he's jewish he was probably lying as they hate christianity and do whatever they can to attack the religion. Good ol' talmudists for you.

  • Anyone who is intelligent would automatically think, I hope this isn't ,an actual mental decay, I hope it is coming from the brilliant mind of a young artist. We need more people like him in entertainment. For the people hating...I suppose you'd rather listen to something that seems more contrived then this, for if this is a put on, which I'm sure it is...He surpasses every actor and competes with Andy Kaufman, Sacha Baron Cohen

  • hes stoned off his ass

  • He's on pills!!!

  • kinda reminds me of the guy in The Hangover lol

  • haha I totally agree!

  • Can someone enlighten me about this? Is Joaquin being 100% genuine here?? Not that there's anything wrong about the way he is acting, but its obviously a bit.... different.

  • @AntonioRepiso to me he is just drugged.you think having lost his brother to drugs he´d stay away from them!

  • @monkies978 My comment was not childish nor ignorant. Just because other comedians may have a 'similar reaction' as you put it does not necessarily mean it's correct. Your comment is ignorant as justifying someone's behaviour on the basis that other people do it as well is the most childish thing I've ever heard. There is no humour in continuously humiliating someone. The guy is clearly uncomfortable and if people find this funny then they need to reassess what their definition of comedy is.

  • in Gladiator he was this "bad guy" :-P some peoples says that he played very well role but I really didnt like a man who was seek and if I remember kissed with his own sister ?!? You know.. I was a bit of.. I dont know.. scared.. or something. bt in ths interwiev he wants to speak of his break but letterman didnt allows and laughts at him.. really funny :)

  • talks in interwievs I think that he can have some problems.. like psychological.. maybe he only play.. but check that he try to explain everything and he start be nervous little bit, but he is good actor..

  • HE is stupid. he should play in Robin hood and many more for last 3 years.. In my opnion he only wants to show how important he is and to prise him for his life.. but second idea is that he improve that he is good actor and wants try something new.. like hip-hop or baseball like jordan when he was a best player in NBA and after he came back he was for next few years best player- then started to play with rodman, pippen and kukoc and more.. or third idea :) when he

  • What this really did was make everyone forget about his original appearance on Letterman where he was clearly drunk or high out of his mind...Anyone got a link to it? I can't even find it, all searches point to this video...

  • This is fucking legendary!

  • does anyone remember River. hhhhhhhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmm its just a mater of time.

  • joaquin pheonix - FAIL!!!!!!!

  • is he like stoned or is he having a panic attack wtf is happenin?

  • david letterman is an old bastard just like larry king

    he criticizes everyone and then when we learn about him and the scandal he hides like a bitch

  • Check out the Bobbye Jo Show!!!

  • Joaquin is my favorite actor but here.... oh my God !! :/

    he looks like a hobo and.... David Letterman laughs at him !!!

  • santa can also spell satan

  • David Letterman is an absolute nob ... if he considers himself an entertainment journalist then he is sadly mistaken. There is nothing entertaining about childish, pathetic behaviour. Suck on that you bastard Americans!!!

  • @Vixgfelicity your comment was very childish and stop stereotyping. be an intelligent adult instead of choosing to be ignorant. graham norton, jimmy carr, and other comedians/presenters would have had similar reactions.

  • oh come on! this is obviously a hoax.

  • @ferrynella yeah i thought so too

  • what a dick

  • I've come across people online saying they were in the audience and it was a set up, after the interview he says 'good job' and went back to his normal self apparently.

    Plenty bs on the net and if he is acting then it is a classic performance, the slurred shaky voice is dead on.

  • its all a joke

  • 3 words: faggot, wasted & high.

  • He's so stoned..

  • boy he's a dick

  • Hollywood is freaking out about this movie because he has exposed the "hollywood lifestyle" of male frontal and cleveland stemers in the bed. All of them are into that sort of thing.

  • Why does he think people care about his dull mocumentary...arrogant d*ck

  • this is pretty messed up

  • Pretty sure he's doing a huge performance art piece which will culminate in a mokumentary by Casy Affleck right? RIGHT?

  • awkward in 3 2 1

  • sad that joakin couldn't be there tonight

  • What do you gas them up with?

  • I like his beard.

  • anyone know where he is now?

  • Could you have a good day:

    1.Put ur hand over ur mouth

    2.Make a wish into ur hand

    3.Put ur hand over ur heart for 5sec

    4.Put this comment on 3 other vids

    5.Then 2morrow u will have the best day of ur

  • I don't think he is high or anything like that, I think he just can't be bothered with letterman and his fakeness. You can see his eyes behind the glasses...he is just not amused and franky quite irritated by him...no wonder.

  • @Charmedlassie18 wrong. mocumentary for casey affleck

  • @Charmedlassie18  Then why go on the show? I don't get it. Is this some elaborate hoax statement Phoenix is trying to make? Or is he really losing it?

  • @cfoley619 I was just making a ill-informed obsevation that I now know it utter balls.

    People are made to go on show to promote stuff, it part of the job description.

  • Even knowing that this is set up and acted and all of that, it still made me so awkward, and blush with embarrassment. But I think I'm just sensitive towards embarrassing situations.

  • @ 4:45 "Joaquin, I'm sorry you couldn't be here tonight."

    When Ben Stiller was a presenter at the 2009 Academy Awards, he did a parody of Joaquin's very Kaufmanesque performance on Letterman.

  • He's an actor. 'nuff said.

  • actors shouldnt try to rap and rappers shouldnt try to act. except for Icecube and Ice-T

  • @hiphopguru81 I agree. River would be proud Joaquin

  • @hiphopguru81 I know right! What the hell was Tupac thinking crossing over?!? You know...the singer Cher tried her hand at acting. I wonder how horribly she did.

  • heya #VIDEOPOSTERID#, brilliant video clip! It's too bad that youtube isn't going to make it possible to watch complete episodes and movies else youtube would possibly be the best. That is exactly why I RANDSET(use|started using|depend on|go with|go to|head over to)# stream episodes [dot] net instead in order to enjoy all of the episodes and movies that youtube doesn't allow

    Late Show - Where's Joaquin Phoenix? - 2/11/09

  • I JUST realised that Andy Kaufman used to make a lot of apearnces on letterman

    equally awkward, and Letterman played off andy the exact way he is playing of Joaquin

    letterman was definitely in on this

  • he joined Anticon =)

  • turns out it was all a hoax, Joaquin has the last laugh.

  • david letterman is an asshole. he did the exact same thing to marilyn manson once when he was on his show. such a douchebag

  • Genius

  • Greatest irl troll

  • This really pissed me off. It shows how low and pathetic anyone will go for entertainment. Perhaps he just doesnt give a shit about trying to please people anymore? I dont blame him for doing this...It came at a price...but I stand by him. Bravo Joaquin!...

  • @xlxhaleyxlx. obviously he is on drugs. no one payed him

  • @xlxhaleyxlx What is a guy like David Letterman supposed to do, though, when you have an unresponsive guest like Joaquin just sitting there turning oxygen into carbon dioxide? He used to be so charismatic and charming with lots of stories to share. Something's up and Letterman brought up the elephant in the middle of that studio. Letterman was just trying to get any word out of Joaquin. I say Bravo David!

  • @xlxhaleyxlx Joaquin knew full well that this is a comedy show, if he knew he was there at all

  • @xlxhaleyxlx in a way i agree with you, but also you have to understand that going into it, he knew what the premise of letterman's show is, and that's candid, funny interviewing with light joking. if joaquin just wanted to sit looking pissed off, and not even say a word about a single thing, he shouldnt have even done the interview. im a huge joaquin fan, but he's really strange anymore.

  • @xlxhaleyxlx So you think it's not an act? i'm not saying i do, i just don't know.  Let's say this is real, then it's sad and nothing to laugh with.

  • @xlxhaleyxlx If he didn't want to entertain people, he wouldn't have agreed to do this interview, you idiot. He's just acting weird, there's nothing more to it.

  • american audence fucking dumb race

  • This guy can kiss my ass. Who the fuck cares. I just thought he was an attention seaking asshole like all the rest of these losers. Pissass movie.

  • This video should be called "Goofing on Dave."

  • He was aaacting ¬¬U He's alive and well /watch?v=tzX6XXVEa4s

  • Its a piss take, hes making a new 'mockumentary' movie.

    Google it.

  • hes fucking high as a kight

  • Really happy to find out this was all a piss-take! Me and my mates were like pretty sure it was, but you can never be totally sure!? He coulda done a christian bale!?

    joaquin is a quality actor and this film sounds like it could be brilliant.

  • Phoenix is really funny!

    All the things he did last year were for a mockumentary!

  • @bandrix1 He's a great actor.

  • zach galifianakis called, he wants his beard and his comedy routine back

  • Well if it is an act its really fucking good, Im borderline on hes actually down the drain or there just playing there parts right on the money.

  • Don't worry guys, this is a mockumentary and he's looking for potential buyers to distribute the film.

  • where  is Joaquin?

  • It was all an act! He fooled us all! DLISTED JUST REPORTED HE FAKED THE CRAZY! It was part of a mockumentary.

  • lol at you gullible people, it's all an elaborate act for a film. idiots lol

  • @1dk11 lol bet you fell for it as well.

  • Honestly he looks kinda cracked out or even on meth. Ive seen friends deteriorate from meth first hand and umm yeah, Joaquin is in bad shape.

  • is it just me or does phoenix kinda look like zach galiafanakis here LMAO!!!

  • rupeni caucau is the man.

  • its probably cause of his brother

  • is that him or ryan dunn?? lol

  • i was born on the same day as Joaquin.

  • The guy's stoned out of his mind; anyone who thinks this is just acting is confused.

  • Muchas Gracias!!!

  • Staged.

  • This was a pretty weird interview, but I like when he takes the gum out and sticks it on the desk..

  • ....................I dont know.............

  • LOL at 3:47

  • Ayyy por favor que alguien me traduzca que pasa en esta charla al español. Me encanta este actor y hay rumores que dicen que esta muy mal. Aquí lo veo bien así que no entiendo. G R A C I A S.

  • @sordevaom Joaquín está ausente durante toda la entrevista y Letterman se burla de eso y le dice "Lamento mucho que no hayas podido estar aquí esta noche". También hablan de su película con Gwyneth Paltrow pero Joaquín no dice nada al respecto. Lo único que dice a lo largo de toda la entrevista es que canta Hip Hop, y que puede venir a cantar al programa algún día, y Letterman le dice que eso no va a ser posible y todos se ríen.

  • this is the weirdest interview! He isnt hot anymore!

  • is this a joke?

  • Comment removed

  • 3:48 hahahahahahaahahhahahhahhahhah­a we'll keep you on the old uh Rolodex

  • weird cunt

  • one thing he needs to really cut that beard and 2nd he doesent need to become a rapper I cant believe heas serious wow

  • i wonder what drove him to quit and work on his so-called "wrap"

  • Joaquin is in a death spiral.

    Dave is hilarious. So sharp.

  • is he fucking stoned ?

  • i can't hack american television/humour, every single laugh sounds forced, i know it's not canned laughter but that audience must have a very simple sense of humour. every time i see live audience orientated american chat shows they are full of hoots, applause and constant over the top laughter, why is this?

  • @jamielocke Applause signs and threats or corporal harm.

  • i can't hack american television/humour, every single laugh sounds forced, i know it's not canned laughter but that audience must have a very simple sense of humour. every time i see live audience american television shows they are full of hoots, applause and constant over the top laughter, why is this?

  • i'm a bit worried for Joaquin, something is seriously wrong with him

  • @TheMcRaeBrothers yeah, he looks like he was high or something

  • @TheMcRaeBrothers im worried about him too

    i hope he'll be ok

  • @TheMcRaeBrothers All this is an act come on its so obvious although both him and letterman carried it out superbly.

    Wathc Joaquin trying to snuffle a laugh at 1:26
