@ThePimpedOutwaffle , I guess he wasn't on drugs.. Most of these shows are scripted, sometimes improvised just to make people laugh. Joaquin Phoenix is so effing talented that he doesn't need to actually get high to act high.
no way this was stage i don't care wat Joaquin Phoenix Publicist probably told him 2 say when he got back, but this was Joaquin high on some type of a drug lol
when I first seen it and thought it was real I thought letterman was so mean but when you watch it and now JP is doing this for the movie and it's all an act it's too damn funny
Do people seriously not get that this was all a big joke for a movie he did?
People less than a day ago commenting onhis weird behavior... its a joke. Go watch the follow up interview. Don't commentate on entertainment if you don't know jack shit about it.
I cant believe this is even an argument. He is clearly drunk, people are clearly uncomfortable. Dave was being a jerk, but can you blame him when his guest star showed such poor judgement? Joaquin's PR pulled some BS magic and Dave's people agreed because Joaquin's fans would be pissed and the show would lose ratings. Everyone agreed that it was a joke to calm the world down, but really it was just as it seemed.
This was so funny. I knew it had to be for some sort of film. He is not the type if person to be so off kilter. Poor Dave had no clue what was going on. lol
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
He's not acting. He sincerely tried to change his persona and it completely backfired. So, him and his friend, Casey Affleck, did a lame movie of a documentary, or something stupid in order to save his image. Its lame. I cant believe everyone is believing his little pathetic scam.
@1westonn1 God that is so weird considering that the film has video that predates this interview! But...if that were true, then your whole theory would be blown to shit. Damn what a conundrum. Somebody is wrong here but who? Is it David Letterman and his people who confirmed that it was a hoax, along with the film that sets up the events before the interview? Or is it the armchair genius who seems to know everything there is to know about everything??? Ouch my head!
"that's hard to imagine..." "I've seen some of the guests..." Mean? Are you kidding? This is freaking hilarious! (And no I'm not from NYC) Then Joaquin sticks his gum under the desk? Dave hasn't been this good in a while now.
@Msgrv32 Mean? The guest shows up clearly stoned, and doesn't want to communicate at all - borderline combative right from the start. And Letterman has to interview him? C'mon. Mean? Nah. Maybe a bit unforgiving, but Joaquin was not there at all.
When you realize this was all a set up for his new "documentary", very well thought out and organized scheme; only then can you realize what a genius guy JP truly is. The idea he had to interject this bogus interview just to give us "glimpse" of his new "career" just to build a film around it is purely an exceptional capacity of intellect. - Or a really stupid idea. Either way
