The thing I find the most amusing is that people are still so irritated and polarized about it; have none of you heard of Andy Kaufman? This isn't the first time a professional troll has staged something on Letterman. Anyone still bent out of shape over it is just a sore loser. It's meant to jar you and get your emotions going. That's not always a bad thing.
wait the documentry was fake? i thought he was pretty crazy blowing coke and being completely insane. i belived it and i felt so bad for him hear because he was absolutely parinoid and strung out that must feel horrorable i bet fame could drive any one to that point defently when theres drugs involved so was it fake?
Dave even noticed he was looking upset and complimented him on his acting and how he was sad to see him leaving acting....dave has always joked around with people because that's his JOB, lighten up people
Guys, this is Joaquin basically in character. It's not really a joke or a hoax, more of a performance piece lol. Letterman apparently didn't know that it was a joke and tried to save the piece by cracking jokes and cutting through the awkwardness. This all lead up to a film called I'm Still Here and it was nothing more than...a performance. Letterman was not wrong, Joaquin was not wrong...it's just something done to cut through the ordinary and mundane that is life. Thank you lol.
I don't think Letterman's that much of a jerk, i mean he was trying to make it funny and less awkward. what's he supposed to do when Joaquin comes on and acts like a crazy drug addict??Letterman does COMEDY, learn what that is! He wasn't mean to him! He was even complimenting him.
Like this is the first time it's ever been done.....the old "I'm the detached artist, so immersed in my world of unlimited creavity that I barely have time to pay attention to what's going on" bit......one of the oldest ones in the book.
David letterman was an asshole towards him from beginning to end....he shouldve never done the interview ......they made a complete joke out of him and why isn't his family trying to get him help with his life and drug addiction?
I saw this interview or a clip of it. I don't remember. I must have missed the end of it before, but I remember saying that the whole thing was a hoax.
Letterman admitted that he had no idea that it was a set up, so considering how he behaved toward potentially mentally disturbed man during the interview makes him a giant douche. Now that Phoenix came clean, Letterman is lucky not to look so bad anymore, but he's still an ass.
@MultiNational3Fish Wait. What? It's a comedy talk show. Dave is not Oprah. And he didn't come off as unstable, he came off as on drugs; People who go on comedy shows stoned out of their mind deserve what they get. Whats amazing is that 4 other Care Bears liked your comment. I suppose you pity Chrispen Glover as well, that chair deserved to be torched. I suppose you expect to see kids dying of cancer on the Jimmy Kimmel show as well. Letterman deserves a pat on the back for what he did.
@MultiNational3Fish Yes, because mocking a man who would go into an interview unprepared and completely derail another man's show because he is "potentially mentally disturbed" is just WRONG, right? Dave should've been respectful and polite, allowing Joaquin to make him look like a total idiot. I mean, because it was totally cool and nice to use another man's fame and TV show to get yourself media attention for some dumb fake documentary. Ugh. Think for a minute, please?
He reminds me of Andy Kaufman, with the love me or hate me your still talking about me kind of attitude(but that could simply be because i just finished watching man on the moon). Regardless of how crazy this whole faux-documentary thing was he's still a great actor and anyone saying "his career is ruined" might want to try searching Joaquin Phoenix letterman return. His appearance is completely back to normal, like the whole thing never happened.
This is hilarious. At 2:40 watch him he is trying so hard not to crack up. If you haven't seen I'm Still Here please watch this film. It is hilarious from start to end.
This is all down to Letterman just being a shit interviewer and too concerned with being funny - playing to the audience. The only questions he asked him were insulting or ridiculously flattering - I respect Joaquin for not playing to him.
This is SO obvious an act / meta trolling by Mr Phoenix. He aimed for huge Hollywood success, got it, then he went a bit Marlon Brando. Brando's mind post-1954 remains tricky, but he basically saw through the bullshit facade of stage and screen acting and the industry idiots who run it. So he subverted it and extracted as much money from the greed-heads as possible.
With Mr Phoenix, he found another way out - music. Daniel Day-Lewis chose shoe-making. He turned out fine!
@GordonMorrice Ahahah very good analysis.. Its all wrong but still good try. This was for his documentary/film don't know what its called where he played himself going through a phase of depression
Have you people seen the mock-slasher movie Student Bodies,,a parody just like Scary Movie. There's a literal flashing arrow pointing to the door knob and the message DOOR UNLOCKED appears. Phoenix and Casey Affleck left a million metaphorical flashing arrows in the process of creating this joke, and nobody picked up on it. The selection process of the Hollywood audience sucks.
Who really thinks this was a hoax? He's now spent almost 3 years of his life to this reputation, people thinking he's a complete loon. Either he really did want to rap or he's going to have the very last laugh in this whole ordeal.
I don't think Dave is laughing and poking fun to be a dick or to make himself look good... Often, people do things like that when they're uncomfortable. And I know how damn uncomfortable I would be if I were in this situation.
we live in world where, if someone's having a hard time people laugh at them and put down their dreams....letterman's a cunt....this video makes me tear up....
dr drew was so quick to diagnose him. that how they look at you. I hope you understand these people with psychiatry backgrounds are plain dangerous and no good dirt bags.
im sick of everyone saying that this was planned from the beginning. It is so obvious that he was high as shit and screwed up so they came up with this "movie" idea to use as an EXCUSE as to why he was acting this way. they are pretending that it was planned from the start just so he doesnt look bad. For example, its the same principle as someone tripping and falling in public and embarrassing themselves, and getting up and saying "uhhh yeah, I meant to do that"
@AlCapwnage420 Look it up. It was faked. When he takes his glasses off at the end and leans over to Letterman, he was letting him know...it was a joke. Its for a movie. Look it the fuck up.
@AlCapwnage420 Haha! Are you serious!? You're seriously suggesting that someone took the time to make an entire movie over a movie stars fuck ups to cover it up??? Do you realize that there was speculation that it was set-up from the beginning because Casey Affleck (Director) was seen with him on numerous occasions during these "episodes". Do your research before you "call everyone out".
i dont care what anyone sais joaquin is not acting. you can see in other interviews that he is a weird guy, very nervous, and it would have been a very big coincidence that in his real life he plays the role of a guy with a nervous breakdown. i'm just saying, it makes more logic that he realy has some problems.
@rykeyz No its funny and shit lol im just saying. When I first saw this I thought everything was real and not played out haha. So I felt bad for Joaquin
@YoungRapper700 oh okay. but even when I watched it for the first time and thought it was real, I didn't think Letterman was an ass. if one of them was an ass it would have been Phoenix for being disrespectful and chewing a gum etc. but that was an act too, so it was just pure genius ;)
hoax or not. in on it or not. i cant stand david letterman he is a fucking asshole. a rude arrogant self absorbed douche bag. who thinks he's funny when he's actually just treating people like shit. i hope he has a stroke. Conan, Fallon, Kimmel, and yes even Leno are much better then letterman even on there worst nights. Go to hell David.
@Glassandcandy i realize this u dumb SOB. i still find him to be a rude dumb fuck who is not at all funny. comedian or not he was very rude to Joaquin. it seemed like he was attacking him personally. so fuck you dont bother me again. u r blocked.
Why did they give this jerk any air time. It's a talk show!!! Just sit there Joaquin . . . don't say anything. You didn't have to go on asshole. I am sorry I watched any of your fucking movies!! PUTZ!!
If this wasn't faked, the turnaround was quite impressive. Either way, you have to hand it to him to either /act/ this well, or put himself back together after honestly being this way.
@shawtysfly you oviously didn't get the movie, it was not a documentary. He said so himself. It was planed out Letterman knew nothing. He was hoping to get a beat down from a talk show host and use it in the movie. Watch his interview a year and a half later with dave.
in my opinion david as well as the audience were a bit cruel to jp, now every single person in the studio who laughed at joaquin that night got pwned.
@DeKosta It just is! in general! the way i see people in public eating with beards!! getting shit caught in them! eating the shit aswell without realizing it! and they look like pubes!... especially in this case it just doesnt suit joaquin phoenix...i cant imagine eating hair constantly! the feeling of it going down my throat! i wud say a lot of people wud hav that same perception! it looks like he is eating it in parts of the interview as well!
The thing I find the most amusing is that people are still so irritated and polarized about it; have none of you heard of Andy Kaufman?

in my opinion david as well as the audience were a bit cruel to jp, now every single person in the studio who laughed at joaquin that night got pwned.
