  • Basso profilo sempre. Grande River!

  • Martha Plimpton was the luckiest girl in the universe.

  • Hes so hot whys he have to die!

  • Thumbs up if you can't get enough of River Phoenix. :)

  • He doesn't go well with long hair

  • He kinda looks like Johnny Depp lol.

  • that would have been nice, if I could hear the q&a

  • Martha Plimpton in all her glory. I can't believe she plays a grandmom now. I'm old.

  • @twilightriverlove Well let's just call it fate. Don't take away Leo's credit, he's an amazing actor with amazing talent. No one pushed River into drugs, or at least it's not Leo's fault that he died. I would have loved to see them both alive today, even in a movie, who knows? And even if River had lived, Leo would still have been successful, I am positive. Well, I simply love Leo and know almost nothing about River. Sorry, these are just my personal thoughts... Peace!

  • He was the young king of Holywood. His od was the best thing that could have happened for Leonardo Dicrapio.

  • @Nakor420ish That is crazy true, for a lot of his roles went to Leo. I mean he was James Cameron wanted him to play Jack Dawson in the Titanic. With River, Leo wouldn't be anything.

  • woo that was on my bday lol my second birthday

  • God, there's something in the way he acted that can't be compared to rest of the world's.

  • its so sad he's not here anymore, he was so deep. Its so easy too get lost in someones looks, but he really did have so much more too him. Yes he wasn't perfect, but no one is, but he was pretty close to perfection in my eyes. So talented, life is so so cruel.

  • I was born October 31st 1994. Its shitty he never got to make more movies after 93'. He was too talented to have gone so soon.

  • On October 31, 1993, Phoenix died of a drug overdose on the sidewalk outside the West Hollywood nightclub the Viper Room.

  • Still missing you, River. Why did you have to leave us?

  • He was genuine didn't have to fake it like Leo or Zac Efron

  • His face..is BEAUTIFUL oh my god damn he's sexy :O

  • god i was only 2 months old in this time! it really pissed me off..now im only watching him on youtube....

  • That hair of his.. Gets me every time!

    I wanna run my hands through it Soooo bad!!

    Rest in peace, sweet one -3

  • I really loved Chris Chambers the minute I saw Stand By Me, probs because he's one of the only characters whose reform was believable and heartful, and river's portrayal of him was AMAZING! The more I learn about river and his life and history and personal views, the more I absolutely love him. And yes he in stand by me he was absolutely cute, but his depth is so much more, and I just love both Chris and River to bits. -3

  • I saw the Movie Stand by me a favorite of mine and wikied all of the boys in it. Until I relised Chris (River Phoenix) actually died which made me so sad because at that age he was such a amazing actor and now in 2011 he could have been so famous... Its a shocker to see hes gone. Im glad the rest of the gang is still alive :)

  • river was very intelligent, and a great actor.

  • i cant believe he's dead.

  • solid dude, drugs is bad. learn

  • I'd kill for hair like Phoenix's

  • sadsadsad hes gone ,, that girl with him i think she s on raising hope on FOX

  • he is gorgeous in stand by me <3

  • He looks like Taylor Hanson

  • He is beautiful, and how sweet is Martha!!

  • He wuz cute with his long hair.

  • IS that Martha plimpton!!!???

  • Does anyone here know anything about River's political views? I once happened to read he sang with his band at Clinton's campaign rally in 1992. I hope that doesn't mean he implicitly stood for Clinton's warmongering policy, does it?

  • @claudefrollono1

    God you're a stupid loser. Check your historical timeline to see what issues Clinton had been championing at that time, and then come back to us with your own answer you dumb, dumb idiot.

    Morons shouldn't vote, or comment on true artists. Least he didn't bore the world to death with campaigning like all Hollyweirdos today who shove their views down our throats (who cares who loves Ovomit). River was an environmentalist, pro-gay & a sensitive, talented artist.

  • Let me guess: you're one of River's "Oh, goshie, he's so cute and yummy" fans?

  • He just uses his roles to express his opinions about life.

  • @Trail717 you maybe right but i think he started getting involved with drugs in '91

  • Hmm maybe him wanting to find the bathroom, that he mentions at the end of this video, had something to do with drugs, possibly?

  • thats true

  • Rivers beauty is breathtaking!!! I've never seen someone so perfect...but I don't understand why did he got into drugs...I'll never understand that and I'm angry because of that and because no one helped him.

    But maybe he was to special for this world, because angels belong in Heaven and that's why he had to go so soon.

    Anyway,he changed my life,made me a better person and I will never stop loving him.

  • It's not that he was trying to seem above it all, he probably just didn't believe in materialistic things like fame

  • River was freakin Hottttttttttttt!

  • His mom is in the background at 1600

  • Martha actually cared about River the reason they split was because he began using drugs that is what ive been told

  • @EdTV20 That's how he died. So it could be true. I don't understand how these stars are blessed with a gift to be talented and they throw it all away with drugs. You know they say those with the most talent has the most personal issues.

  • he reminds me Emile Hirsch!

  • Look at 0:21 where he wipes his nose, also look at his eyes, his face. Then 0:38 - again the way he looks. I think he is totally stoned here. This is just a conclusion, I really like him, one very special, intelligent, warm, talented and goodlooking person...

  • @Dolgaz I think your totally right... He does look weird in those parts and he keeps on stuttering and stuff and hes all up close and yeah i think hes stoned here too haha... but i still LOVE him

  • @Kayla119petrey no he fucking isnt..its called being nervous. He was 18 and going to his first big award show. Im so sick of people that play so much into his death..UGGh

  • @vanityandlove Umm its okay for people to have their own opinions....and you actually dont really know if he was or not so just think what you want and i can think what i want......if you didnt like what i had to say just dont say anything instead of leaving hate comments...

  • @Kayla119petrey you consider that a hat ecomment?LMAO okay..

    well i think your opinion is without merit. Just because the guy died of an overdose doesnt mean he was fucked his whole career. Cant we just celebrate his life and not wonder was he high here or was he high there?...fuck off with that.

  • man wat a stud

  • He was gorgeous but he tried that 'too cool for school' thing. Obviously he couldnt handle it.....

  • what do u mean "too cool for school" thing?? explain

  • like tried to be cool and make it seem like he didnt care about certain thingss

  • I love you River.

    You still always the best for me.

    God bless your soul.

  • such a sweetheart :(

  • i can actually say i love river phoenix. sooo amazing, stood for peace and animal rights. Shame he was with martha though i dont think she really did appreciate him.

  • omg he was perfect <3

  • mmmmmm... he was my dream husband :'(

  • mine too :(

  • he's similar to the very young johnny depp

    wonderful

  • i would be jealous of martha plimpton but shes just too damn UGLY! XD

  • Still the most beautiful face I've ever seen. *sigh*

  • 100% in agreeance!

  • You mean agreement? XDDD

  • Why are there today no more cases of people who are at the same time beautiful and with brains? I mean whatever River said was meaningful, well-put, and deep. Today, you have the "idols" who don't know shit.

  • Yeah ur so right all the idiots today just blag about what theyre wearing, how much money they got etc. Victoria beckham is a perfect example x miranda, uk x

  • HEAR HEAR

  • I don't like Martha Plimpton but i love River Phoenix

  • How come you dont like Martha? xmirandax

  • stand by me was a personal favourite of mine..sleep on River sleep on!

  • He only only did three movies he completed between 1992 and 1993, mind you. While Sneakers, Silent Tongue, and The Thing Called Love were hardly of River's caliber, it was better than anything released in today's market. Only Dark Blood was never completed when River Phoenix passed away.

  • To say Sneakers, Silent Tongue, and the The Called Love are better than anything released in today's market is quite a bold and RIDICULOUS statement. Would you care to clarify that for us?

  • its not better than the dark knight , um a little something called the titanic or any leonardo films =P

  • i want to find the bathroom as soon as possible... i shud try that next time i dont want to answer a boring question!

  • she looks like a boy and he looks like a girl. so sweet. i guess it all gave a pretty interesting dynamics to the whole relationship.

  • Who is the girl next to him?

  • U mean next to River? Martha Plimpton xmirandax

  • thats a girl?

  • (reply to AndrewLavalley1) yeah the person with river in the white dress was his girlfriend at the time, martha plimpton x

  • Yeah, she was in the goonies and then the parenthood, I never seen her after that

  • she was also in the mosquito coast and running on empty both wonderful movies with river phoenix in them

  • hahhaha

    she is suppose to be

  • Oh they both looked GREAT

  • hes the best ...

    stand by me <33

  • omg he truley is a gorgeous man. It's a shame what happened to him. He would have made great success even in the present day.

    R.I.P River Jude Phoenix,

    you are forever loved.

    <3

  • how old was he when he died..he is really cute

  • 23 years old - far too young *sniff*

  • He was 23. And yes, he was gorgeous! <3 Such a shame. :(

  • he's amazing.

  • damn how lucky was martha during that time..

  • Very smart young person,with nice personality.With his talent,brain,and beauty he could have been the biggest competition to johnny depp nowadays.Not only the film industry and the fans,but the whole world lost a very unique and wonderful person.

  • He died in an L.A club part owned by Depp, I believe they were good friends

  • yeah,I knew that.hehe.but thanks for the info anyway :)

  • actually his movie choices really sank after my own private idaho, but im sure he could of got out of the slump, maybe he did too many drugs at the time?

  • rip buddy.

  • Wow, he's wonderful!

  • thank you!I love RIVER!RIP

  • He was great! Is that bald lady his girlfriend or something???

  • Yes, that is Martha Plimpton. She had just finished filming a movie about a cancer patient. Her hair was just growing back.

  • Oh, I see I thought she was just going around with her head shaved. Thanks for telling me. =)

  • eww she has no eyebrows

  • It sorta looks like she does. I don't know. lol.

  • OMG lmao my sister and i always talk about that-how she doesn't have any eyebrows. we thought we were the only ones who noticed haha

  • he'd have been 38 today!! River was born in Aug, 23!! We miss him and think about him! We light a candle today for his bday!!

  • thank you. he's beautiful and amazing

  • He has the nicest eyes ever,lips and hair ever ... cant believe that something so beautiful and so young had to die

  • i love you, riv!

  • Rio had THE best fucking hair. It was so think and pretty. Holy hell, I wanna play in it. D:

  • he was just so lovely!!!so simple and wonderful in the same time!! The woman in balck dress from Marths's behind in River's mother.I can recognize her from some pictures.

    He was a great actor and he deserves his star on "walk of frame ".

  • poor kid

  • Such a fucking waste.

  • ahh yeah, i know. samantha mathis. :)

  • かっこいいなー

  • Man, I looved his hair!

  • martha was one lucky bitch!=D

  • I want to be with him!I m jealous of Martha!

  • Well, it's not that difficult, you know. You can always...die.

  • LOL

  • omg u just made my night!! Ive been in tears for like 5 minutes because of reading your comment....

  • that is so mean yet so frickin funny

  • River you look so wonderful and so handsome in tuxedo! You should of won the Oscar! Colleen Phoenixxxxoooooooooo

  • River was so cute! And Martha was wonderful she s have always support River!She was one wonderful girfriend for River.

  • I love rive with all my self!

  • There was speculation among cast members and Wil Wheaton himself to claim that River did drugs on the set of Stand By Me. I think around this time River was into marijuana. River didn't get into the hard drugs until the 1990s. That is when his addiction became really dangerous. Especially with the dangerous drugs he was using at the time.

  • ya he even said he tried pot during filming os SBM in an interview in 1986 but said he didnt like it.

  • i know this sounds really cheesy but im only 15 but river phoenix has inspired me and my friends to start a band aimed at peace. without river i wouldnt have the inspiration to face the day, and english weather(eeek)RIP

  • i was born in the year he died

    but i feel strangely connected with him

    i don't know why i feel sick when people mention his untimely death,i cry every time i see stand by me,and not just a little bit either,it's kinda of embarrassing .lol if only doctor who was real,or i could time travel,

    i have become a vegetarian iam very determined

    to never eat or use any animal made substance

    i will hopefully join peta when iam older

    good luck with your band

    :)

  • i believe this happened before he got into the hard drugs. but, i agree with you 100%. it is truely a tragedy. i still miss him.

  • ""i wanna find a bathroom as soon as possible" i wonder if he needed to pee or refresh his high.. "

    i suspect it was just said to get away from the interviewer. not all he did revolved around drugs. specifically not in the 80's.

  • sexiest man that ever lived!!!

  • He was so well-spoken, and selfless.

    Everyone is calling him hot, and I would have to say that I disagree. I never thought of him as hot or sexy. I saw him as gorgeous or stunning. His features were too beautiful for me to consider him "hot".

  • well said.

  • she tried a million times to get him to stop. it's hard to watch someone you love self destruct. there is only so much you can do if he said no every time she said to stop or get help. blaming other ppl for someone elses addiction is wrong and if you're gonna place the blame why do it on his girlfriend what about his PARENTS or manager, they didn't do anything to help either.

  • she did speak about him - she said "He's already being made into a martyr. He's become a metaphor for a fallen angel, a messiah. He wasn't. He was just a boy, a very good-hearted boy who was very *beep* and had no idea how to implement his good intentions. I don't want to be comforted by his death. I think it's right that I'm angry about it, angry at the people who helped him stay sick, and angry at River."

  • And he's so super talented!

  • River said he did not want to win the oscar for running on empty because he did not like to put himself on a " pedastal".. and he said other older actors should win...that was river, always thinking of others. river was so unselfish .. that is why i love him! he was one of a kind and had a heart! colleen phoenixxooo

  • He looks like Taylor Hanson with that hair. Wow!

  • he's being so honest. i think that's great.. esp. since he's immensely well known in the media, with movies and things.

    and he's so damn hot. =)

  • he is beautiful

  • in parenthood she only had to shave the back of her head not the whole thing

  • I think it was for Parenthood.

  • sounds like something ugly people say, ;)

  • martha plimpton is ugly! i think the only reason half of u guys thinks shes soo beutiful is beacuse she dated river ive always never found her to be in the least bit preety i was suprised that river dated her they made a cute couple but yikes! shes ugly

  • "Ive always never" is a double negative....thanks for your backwards ass comment

  • How is "always never" a double negative? Always is not a negative

    Never is negative.

    Who's the backwards ass now?

    I've never heard of Martha Plimpton, thank God!

  • Always never is an oxymoron

  • You really need to do some research. Martha never 'abandoned' River- she tried to get him to quit using drugs and ended their relationship when he told her 'no way' for the millionth time. she was always there for him and they never lost contact. martha had a life too you know- she couldnt waste it on thanklessly working to help someone who didnt want the help.

  • thats sad. [about not wanting the help]

  • have u read any books on river? could you recommend one to me?

  • i agree so much

  • I don't want to hurt Sue, or Samantha ... but it seems to me, River loved this girl the most in his life.

  • stop hating! she is NOT ugly at all. everyone maybe don't look like angelina jolie, but they can be beautiful anyway. and martha is. just stop saying shit like that, you know that river really loved her and he would be sad if the hearded what you losers are saying! :@

  • i have this footage at home river looks so beatiful it takes my breathe away to watch!!! he has class and very intelligent in this clip and i adore him with all my heart! he won award and deserve more! i love you river jude. colleen phoenix

  • martha's a knockout.

  • She's adorable. She's not ugly at all.

  • Joaquin Phoenix so cute in Parenthood

  • lol, aw, martha chatting to rivers mum in the background- she looks so happy :)

  • martha looks so pretty. what a couple i love them BOTH

  • does anyone else think he looks a tad like kurt cobain? he was so gorgeous!

  • Me too. They look really alike and I like them both :). Two beautiful, great men.

  • He was soooo cute....
