Either way, after what happened to river, you would think he would be more against drugs. But yet again he's talented, so he'll probably die young anyways. The talented ones always do.
it totally was not an act, i has all the signs of weed, but the sort of weed that makes you paranoid (as he was) - or he is just the sort that gets paranoid on weed like how some people do, or he just took a shit load of it. it was totally weed with paranoia.
@liamrenn actually if youve watched the documentary "im still here " you wouldve seen how upset he was from what he had done, joaquine ,he is litterallly messed up in his head. he is a brilliant man, but he does have some issues, through his whole documentary you can see this.ive heard he was in some type of cult with his familly when he was younger, from his parents believes. also his brother river was also pretty wierd too. i believe this made him that way.
@liamrenn and also my mother has a disorder, that reminds me of him. i see that he probably has same thing. he is very anxious and he went into a break down, i belive he has CPTSD. (Complex post-traumatic stress disorder) i hate that people make a joke of him. he was 100% serious on this. he needs some support . he is a brilliant person, but at this point he was going through a break down. he was also very nervous. the combination is not a good mixture.
First off watch the full episode. Secondly he appears to be doing a character. Very much Andy Kaufman. Watch this and make your opinion. Andy Kaufman on Letterman (June 24th 1980)
honestly really he decides to change his career and hes on drugs? he changes his career, hes on drugs? and some people have to laugh at him and be fuckers and make him all nervous and make fun of him for his choices, people like this are the pubic hairs on the toilet of society
I know someone who is a huge fan of Phoenix and was torn because of this interview. Obviously, Letterman wasn't the only one fooled. Joaquin, that may have been hilarious but it wasn't very considerate!
@spaciousgalaxy Not everyone was fooled. If you saw the interview all the way to the end, his demeanor completely changes once the music plays. Maybe he thought the cameras were off, that's when you could see for sure Joaquin was just acting up for something. The fact someone was off stage filming him was another clue. Letterman knew what was up.
i don't like the new Joaquin Phoenix, he used to be cool and a great actor, but now he's just a fat rapper that has a long beard i hate. Come back old Joaquin Phoenix
HE IS NOT ACTING. He is on drugs, I've been around and honestly will say i've done enough shit to know...your options 2 and 3 were the right ones. Drugs and being out of your mind coincide He was wearing sunglasses INSIDE so no one could see how fucked up he was and the hobo appearance is typical for white rappers, especially if they are going for a white rastafar look.
@warofrazors999 It's been confirmed it was all an act lol. There's a film coming out on it, it's a documentary, also he has another proper interview with david letterman.
"youd have to be a hell of an actor to do that" uh ya this is Joaquin Phoenix, there arent very many better actors. I dont know why hes underestimating him so much, he must not have seen his movies.
what kind of drugs do that to a guy,that's what i'd like to know, crack doesn't give you that kind of high,nor heroine let alone weed, so what kind of drug? i think either he just lost his mind or he is really acting.
I think he was high but i dont think he done this on purpose, i think Letterman pissed him off at the start of the show about his beard. i think his way of retaliating was, to just yes, no. Like he had had enough. To me that whole beard part shook him up, he looked nervous as hell after that.
these guys are fuckin retarded its not a fuckin act.. they just dont know shit about drugs so they just automatically assume its fake.. i think he might have been on acid or shrooms and just having a bad trip.. thats why he was so uncomfortable on the show.. and is also the reason he's hiding his dilated pupils
People on drugs don't necessarily spin off into some elaborate fantasy world. If he was on OC's or xanax or something he could've just been really out of it and not thinking about anything at all. My guess is that it was an act though.
@picklesnorf101 i guess everyone is diff but opiates always relaxed me and id have 0 nervousness about naything...i wouldnt go on letterman w/o them hahaha jk
I think Jayar is over analyzing. He is on opiates. I also think he was feeling insulted, and I also noticed the smile Jayar was reffuring to and I just think it was o0ne of those 'yeah I'm feeling insulted but I can't look insulted because I know where I am.
Cenk is 100% right. It is SO obvious that Jesus has never taken any drugs because anyone that has knows he is high.
My friend is a painfully shy drug-addict who is exactly the same as this guy. He even grew a beard to hide his face and wears singlasses, just like Joaquin. I hate how the audience are mocking him by laughing - can't anyone see how embarrassed and nervous he is?
YES exactly. I thought the samme thing. I think he was feeling more insulted than anything and it was making him uncomfortable which is why, in my opinion, he gave the short answers as he did.
My response... I've actually known people where that is their personality. I haven't seen him before, so I can't be sure that it is just his personality. From everyone's response though, I'd say it wasn't before.
@Scardy he was on the show a few years before that and did a great job on the show, its not his personality, he is completely diff here, strung out on opiates...i would know, i am too....
@xpurity666 ya dude is for sure railing some 80's, I know from years of experience that the only thing makes somebody act like that is some good Chiva or an a couple zanny's and some oxy... watch him scratch his face, total giveaway
You understand laugther, tears, and sex and the city, you understand fear, frustration, depression and what the maintream media tells you. Thats your NEWS SOURCE! Oh YAY!...What if I could choose what I wanted them to show you, you'd be like jim carry in the Trueman show (movie). A good comfy place, we'll protect you, make money on you, and keep the show online 24/7/365. You need to ask questions, demand more, stand out, and make this world a better place for the future, better than what you got
If he was a drug addict he would shave his beard so he would give the apearance that he was not a bum in the minds of others; unless he knew that was what we would think so he grew it out to show that he didn't care. Then again, he is a phenomenal actor and I would not put it past him for the entire segment to be an act. Perhaps both?
you mean like you? you racist pig. go watch Kim Kardashian you fucking racist hypocrite. call me a nigger lover as your watching Kim Kardashian videos, your just mad cuz youll never have a cock like a black man!
i dont understand why people think he is acting... he is in a career full of wankers and he is real... david letterman is insulting.. he doesnt want to be there thats all it is
couldve been so many drugs, any downers or benzos, could've been tripping balls wearing sunglasses to hide his pupils or his red eyes.. just baked as hell.
or he was on like 800 mics of lsd and couldnt keep his thinking straight enough to manage more than one word answers...but he's probably just acting & stoned, they're not mutually exclusive
im sure anyone trying to create such a druggy self-image must do some drugs to fit the bill
Why does it have to be either 100% "REAL" or 100% "acted". I would say that all sorts of interactions we have day in and day out with people are somewhere in the middle, like this one. I just don't get the need to classify this here. It is after all, a talk SHOW. On the other hand, I believe Letterman to be more genuine than many of his critics would think him to be. Whatevs.
He's on a come down, thats what happens on a come down, you get really un-comfortable, don't know whats going on and you can't express yourself, no matter how hard you try.
The first time I watched this, I thought the whole thing was staged between him and Letterman, but on a second watch, I'm not sure, because his discomfort was palpable and, having been on hallucinogens myself, that discomfort is very familiar...
But if it was staged, then it was quite well acted.
We're working on the documentary about Joaquin's transition to rap and are currently looking for extra footage from Jaoquin's concerts, if you want to submit this video for possible inclusion in the film, visit joaqdoc (dot) com
Amazing... hehe I havent seen that one yet. Damn hes fucking playing it perfectly well. Phoenix, your going big and its coo hehe ... might even backfire but hey. Bringing back some good ol' Andy Kaufman? ''New age''? Hehe wrestling was too obvious... had to make it just abit more credible. Rap? hahaha... good thinking. You scored big on that show... keep it up! If someone can pull it off, its you.
i used that thing for some time and quit because its terrible... you feel like its only you on this world... u think u feel good but for real u feel bad
i wont tell name of that thing because some people may wanna to use it
He wasnt acting, and no drugs. Hes himself. Sensitive and shy as he is it appears he is on drugs. Acting is a creative form, if you notice, he aint creative at all. Plus, hes tired and bored in general, but no drugs. The rap thing? Because hes bored, tired and he also gets something out of it. If you going to say a person is acting youll have to know how a person is when not acting. Fact is, every interview Joaquin have done, hes been acting, until now, and thats why they think hes acting now.
He is acting. When Dave makes a comment about the Unabomber you can see he cracks a smile. Dave might not have been aware of the hoax but I think he was.
@typinbabe84 Why just because he smiles is he acting? If I was trying to be serious and someone asked me how my days with the unibomber were I would chuckle too.
Anyone who still thinks this was real is on harder drugs than the ones they "THINK" he is on or more of a mental case than they "THINK" he is. And, I use the term think loosely.
Everybody please go to the search box above & type in - Joaquin Phoenix People's Choice Awards 2008. You'll see another example of him doing something far out & off the wall. Besides, He's not gonna quit acting hes only pretending to be a rapper because he is secretly shooting space camp 2 . I guess his character gets stuck on Mars and this is the reason why he looks like a caveman. And, another film might be in the works. The title escapes me at the moment.
First of all I think that he was acting..but I can´t really know of course....Watch andy kaufman doing the same thing in 1980 on letterman...but now he´s doing rap shows and what not....i think he is sooo sexy and such a great actor...so i think it´s a shame that he doesnt act anymore..if that´s in fact is true...YOU GO JOAQUIN! YOU´RE GREAT!
I would say he is a genius too, if the Real genius Andy Kaufman didn't do this "sort" of bit over 25 years ago. Just type - Andy Kaufman on Letterman (June 24th 1980)
in the search box above & you will see what I mean. And the gullible people that believe this is real will also understand you can't believe everything you see. come on people! Get with the program.
There is definitely something wrong. I think it might be a family history of psychological problems I mean his brother committed suicide which isn't the mark of a stable mind.
There is really something wrong, ´cause again I got this jerk Cenk Uygur on my screen. Is there any chance to block this dumbass? How can it happen that this Young Turks crap ranks first when I´m looking for "phoenix letterman"?
And his brother River didn´t commit suicide; he died of an overdose. Maybe this is - in your terms - not a "mark of a stable mind", too. But if you want you´ll find "marks of an instable mind" in any actor´s/artist´s life, so this doesn´t mean a thing.
to all the "happy campers" out there thinking he is doing a big prank for his so called Documentary.. I hate to burst your bubble but this is not an act. He has fallen greatly through the ice with deep mental problems hidden by shallow drugs. If you cannot deal with it its your problem but he is not acting.. which is killing me really. I love him but it's breaking my heart. He is ill... very ill.
i love him so much. <3 joaquine i love you so much forever and ever <333

couldve been so many drugs, any downers or benzos, could've been tripping balls wearing sunglasses to hide his pupils or his red eyes.. just baked as hell.
or he was on like 800 mics of lsd and couldnt keep his thinking straight enough to manage more than one word answers...but he's probably just acting & stoned, they're not mutually exclusive
im sure anyone trying to create such a druggy self-image must do some drugs to fit the bill

Dude! It is so fake.
Look at the little grin at 1:58ish.
He's an actor who got bored.
The dude always had an odd sense of humor.
He's doing it for kicks!
I hope... lmao

Why does it have to be either 100% "REAL" or 100% "acted". I would say that all sorts of interactions we have day in and day out with people are somewhere in the middle, like this one. I just don't get the need to classify this here. It is after all, a talk SHOW. On the other hand, I believe Letterman to be more genuine than many of his critics would think him to be. Whatevs.

He's on a come down, thats what happens on a come down, you get really un-comfortable, don't know whats going on and you can't express yourself, no matter how hard you try.
hybridcypher 2 years ago
Yeah, I've got to agree.
The first time I watched this, I thought the whole thing was staged between him and Letterman, but on a second watch, I'm not sure, because his discomfort was palpable and, having been on hallucinogens myself, that discomfort is very familiar...
But if it was staged, then it was quite well acted.

He wasnt acting, and no drugs. Hes himself. Sensitive and shy as he is it appears he is on drugs. Acting is a creative form, if you notice, he aint creative at all. Plus, hes tired and bored in general, but no drugs. The rap thing? Because hes bored, tired and he also gets something out of it. If you going to say a person is acting youll have to know how a person is when not acting. Fact is, every interview Joaquin have done, hes been acting, until now, and thats why they think hes acting now.
nils4545 2 years ago
He is acting. When Dave makes a comment about the Unabomber you can see he cracks a smile. Dave might not have been aware of the hoax but I think he was.

@typinbabe84 Why just because he smiles is he acting? If I was trying to be serious and someone asked me how my days with the unibomber were I would chuckle too.

Anyone who still thinks this was real is on harder drugs than the ones they "THINK" he is on or more of a mental case than they "THINK" he is. And, I use the term think loosely.

Everybody please go to the search box above & type in - Joaquin Phoenix People's Choice Awards 2008. You'll see another example of him doing something far out & off the wall. Besides, He's not gonna quit acting hes only pretending to be a rapper because he is secretly shooting space camp 2 . I guess his character gets stuck on Mars and this is the reason why he looks like a caveman. And, another film might be in the works. The title escapes me at the moment.

First of all I think that he was acting..but I can´t really know of course....Watch andy kaufman doing the same thing in 1980 on letterman...but now he´s doing rap shows and what not....i think he is sooo sexy and such a great actor...so i think it´s a shame that he doesnt act anymore..if that´s in fact is true...YOU GO JOAQUIN! YOU´RE GREAT!

I would say he is a genius too, if the Real genius Andy Kaufman didn't do this "sort" of bit over 25 years ago. Just type - Andy Kaufman on Letterman (June 24th 1980)
in the search box above & you will see what I mean. And the gullible people that believe this is real will also understand you can't believe everything you see. come on people! Get with the program.

There is definitely something wrong. I think it might be a family history of psychological problems I mean his brother committed suicide which isn't the mark of a stable mind.
BenjaminWirtz 2 years ago
There is really something wrong, ´cause again I got this jerk Cenk Uygur on my screen. Is there any chance to block this dumbass? How can it happen that this Young Turks crap ranks first when I´m looking for "phoenix letterman"?
And his brother River didn´t commit suicide; he died of an overdose. Maybe this is - in your terms - not a "mark of a stable mind", too. But if you want you´ll find "marks of an instable mind" in any actor´s/artist´s life, so this doesn´t mean a thing.

to all the "happy campers" out there thinking he is doing a big prank for his so called Documentary.. I hate to burst your bubble but this is not an act. He has fallen greatly through the ice with deep mental problems hidden by shallow drugs. If you cannot deal with it its your problem but he is not acting.. which is killing me really. I love him but it's breaking my heart. He is ill... very ill.

What kind of role would that be? "The invasion of the bearded monk"? Or "how to confuse a TALK show with a sit down and shut up show"
I don't think so. There's a simple answer to this: Drugs

if he was going to play a mentally challenged rapper in the near future, that would make more sense than simply drugs
