[Opacalypso]

brilliant fake! great actor!

[KittyaAliaa117]

hey_ï_fèél_sÕ_lòñëlý_tÕdÃý

[toar4ever]

Too bad, he is a great actor, let's just hope he gets out of this weird person that he is right now...

[illustriouschin]

what the hell does this guy do? nothing is my guess, why the hell is CBS trying to hype this guy up? oh money thats why, answered my own questions

[mineke6]

he was being weird and he seemed a little defensive as well...though to be fair i think letterman was being a little rude towards the end but thats what you have to deal with when you go on comedy talkshows...i think he just seems a little...pissed off...

[GoldenRatio]

Weird hair!

[fxxkfayce]

He's SO out of it. /:

[flashstorminc]

D R U G S

[EdwardxBellax4xEver]

whos seen Ben Stiller make fun of him on the Oscars ? it was really funny !

[sancho8214]

Joaquin Phoenix is going to be bigger than Tupac! Girl fil ma!

[JWJSSIF]

wow he's cool

[BOYCOTTLETTERMAN]

lmao!!!!

[Letterman should talk THE HAIRLESS PUMPKIN GAPEING HOLE TOOTH I CANT GET A WIFE SO I ADOPT KIDS IDIOT!!!! ]

*****BOYCOTT LETTERMAN*****

[BOYCOTTLETTERMAN]

letterman - gap tooth prick - treats his guest like a dick

[Roxijo]

He probably like many, thinks letterman is an asshole and didnt really want to be there!!

[mistyblus2]

... he stuck that gum under his desk. he stuck that gum under his desk. :| omg...

[AmericanGuy85]

I don't know whats going on with Jaquin. I mean supposedly this was a joke but it almost looked like he was rehersing a new role as a actor throwing away a great career to buy a lame hiphop career. Man that sounds like a great comedy I can't wait to see it. No but I'd say Jaquin is wakeen towards disaster. Ha ha get it?

[getoutinit]

He called Letterman funny? Since when? Not since NBC days has Letterman been funny!

[62jackie]

marleysherb u r a nutcase

[xfaithlessmusex]

What the hell, marleysherb? This is a video about Joaquin Phoenix, not 9/11. Maybe you should quit doing drugs....

[9ways2win]

I find the dude fasinating,but he obviously was high as sh*!@ and letterman had fun with him after that

This is a case of hollywood burnout for

all you wannabe famous types.Fame is

obviously not his god ,and many like letterman can`t understand it.

[zehrinteressant]

@9ways2win he's a method actor

[ComfyChairTV]

Joaquin Phoenix just married Big Foot...see my video for the latest!!

[bachtiar1]

that sounds like his brother..

[hips87]

lmao, that was great.

[myrkeyjones]

Letterman is a Dick, Good on ya Joaquin.

[Kaffdawg77]

LOL juoaquin is a douche

[Jfiore10]

I think if I was Joaquin, I would have been pistoff. Letterman treated him with a lot of disrespect....Interview wasent ment to be a roast....

[wheresadalia]

yes that was his brother

[bachtiar1]

yeah it sounds like river

[1m3i3k7]

oh man I actually feel kinda bad for him... it's almost like the walk the line movie is becoming a self fulfulling prophecy, maybe he got into the role a bit too much man what a junkie hahaha

[talk2bill]

this is a hoax. it was ALL an act for his new movie.

[ftblplya1]

It looks like Joaquin Phoenix has contracted hobo.

[Ken1839]

... naive not to see that he is sadly on his way to the River.

[xfaithlessmusex]

I really hope that's not true... I love Joaquin... He's a great actor.

[SSShino]

that guy was high as a kite :D

[christianlavin]

esta loco

[ImpulsiveMayhem]

Yeah

[SycamoreFig]

sounds to me like he's snorting coke or something..

listen to how he talks.

It's not uncommon for people to do documentaries on drug addicts, I mean look at when Johnny Depp did a documentary on John Frusciante.

[reddeadlys]

naw heroin

[BarbButler]

You know what...I'm mad at David Letterman!! I've always loved him...& I still do...but, from this little clip that I'm happy was posted...as I didn't see the show...he's being mean to Joaquin...whom I also love!!!! There...I had to get that off my chest!! Hiss...Boo...David!!!! Do your thing, Joaquin!!!

Peace,

*;*

[logansGT]

Joaquin WAS doin' his thing, Barb.

He was doing a good job of puttin' everybody on, (after all, he IS an actor,) and Letterman was the straight man.

This was hilarious !

[BarbButler]

Really...logansGT?! I hope you're right...I really do. Now...I am wondering if he is just that good of an actor...he had me believing!!!

*;*

[logansGT]

Don't worry yer purdy lil head, Barb. Just watch it again and remember that it's just a skit. It'll be reeeeally funny, then.

Btw, don't be so formal.....call me logan (*_~)

[girlhurry]

The guy seems to have a personal account at the millionaire & celebrity dating club ^^^^^^MillionaireLoving. C O M^^ ^^^^ with his photos and blog. I am not sure, but they two are really alike.

[gamenwl]

fake

[Nikon05]

retarded ^^^^^

[sancho8214]

Joaquin Phoenix is gonna be bigger than tupac! Girl fill ma!

[mdowney06]

The new Andy Kaufman.

[flipsipp199076]

WOW ,,wtf is wrong with this actor,,wow

[sport4us]

try to imagine if an actor is been seen as horrific evil men in a lot of movies, try to imagine how people will look at him and how he would feel..

Just look at Christian bale and a lot of more actors.

Those actors gonna think and feel that they are watched as evil guys so they should feel the same do the same and act weird.

It can be very frustrated to be evil.

[jonathan102]

wat a faggot

[jesusjerkoffisgod]

he should do both. be n r&b musician in gay porn. he can suck off barry white

[mason12obyn]

he looks like he did when he filmed spacecamp hahaha

[304fannin]

Actors use a different part of the brain than normal people.

[honesttracy]

WTH is with Joaquin. I love him as an actor. He is obviously have a breakdown of some sort, or was drunk/high... etc. I hope he straightens out. We don't need another Johnny Cash out of him in real life.

[yochanah1]

Don't any of you see? This man is genius ~ rich, gifted, sensitive. His heart was shattered when Walk The line & Reese Witherspoon won Oscars, & he ~who was FAR superior to Reese didn't win. No wonder he doesn't want Anything to do with the Hollywood lie.

[luxdana]

dang dave put him on blast! he was acting crazy though, but he is so talented! i wonder if it is for real a documentary. something about casey affleck right?

watch my videos

luxdana

[elgsr18]

Joaquin Is a God !!!!!

SHOW HIM RESPECT :)

[icarrillos]

[dfas434dfszcx]

Tolerance is Suicide.

[s4life]

[reanimated0]

[estal1]

[lvecsey]

Paul was funny with the maniacal laugher and the Joaquin reaction was even better

[SDcuddy]

Dude This is the guy from Gladiator!!?? no fuckin way, whats with the fukin BEARD! and long Hair hahahaha he kinda looks rasta 2 me..... hes been listening to waaaayyy too much BoB Marley ! ONE LOVE!

[mpd19666]

hell ya, he looked fucked up

[forrestlyone]

apparently drugs run in the family. But he looks liek he is on downers, not uppers.

[Summore000]

He's has got to be joking.

[DirectorRico]

woah i didnt even know that was him

[aboobity16]

what the hell is he doing? i'm really curious. this was one of the most bizarre things ive ever seen. why would he come on the show if he didnt even want to be there.

[slimjim88]

Dave does a good job running with tense guests, but you could tell he was annoyed at the end when he stuck the gum under the desk. that was a bit disrespectful, doubt he will be back on lettermen

[auroral]

OMG Joaquin, what happened to you. :(

[560juan]

long live phoenix. awesome

[RonPaulGeorgeRingo]

Every actor (wannabe musician) pretends to be Jim Morrison.

The thing is . . . Jim Morrison (even when wasted) still had personality.

Hell, Jim Morrison (dead) has more personality.

[sk8agrl23894]

Help!! 207-272-5641

Please Call me Im lonely

[kaiyeem]

Let him be whatever he want's to be, stop taking his life so personal!

[katieknoxx]

Joaquin Phoenix is cool.

[dfas434dfszcx]

Tolerance is Suicide.

[theonly1daniel1]

did anyone say jesus

[SycamoreFig]

Are you guys joking?! if any of you had any knowledge about Phoenix's brother's addiction to cocaine and heroin, you would understand that he is an addict himself.

He can't act anymore because his heroin addiction is taking over his life, just LISTEN TO HIS VOICE! he sounds like shit because the drugs are fucking his brain completely...

He doesn't have a mental disorder, he's not stupid,

HE's A DUMB DRUG ADDICT. It killed his brother, and it will kill him.

Damn shame too,Signs was a good film

[googledoodle101]

How the hell do YOU know ANYTHING about his life? You've never even met him, let alone spoken to him and learnt details about his ''addiction''. Go away, you don't impress anyone with your purile garbage.

[Vyrnarcu]

Lol. Butthurt.

Clearly the guy is fucked. Who needs details?

Have you spoken to him concerning whether he wants to be defended by e-heros on Youtube?

[deftox]

whatever drugs he's taking i want some

[stephsyoda]

I hope he doesn't go the same route his brother did.... he is acting like hes a little off other interviews ive seen him in he doesnt act like that.

[efrainplaza7]

he did not say R&B he said HIP HOP learn to hear idiots

[chairsink]

whats with the dark glasses and all the figiting

[daneaton54]

to hide the fact his pupils are as dialated as tea saucers...

[youdiejoe]

Andy Kauffman called, wants his schtick back.

[LucLeFou]

"can you tell me about your experience with the uni-bomber?" WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? IS IT A JOKE?

[FunnyMoneyDummy]

Letterman being an asshole like always! I can tell Joaquin wanted to knock him the fuck out!

[djpedy]

cokee makes u fucked up

[Chick6517]

ohh cool! i would have never thought about that.. or thought to do that.. but yeah nicely done.. and to be honest i never really laugh out loud on videos but this one made ne giggle a little out loud hahah :]

[s999top]

is he jewish?

[random0815]

he looks like larry charles, director of the borat movie, see a pattern? :) ..

[jondaken]

Haha, he a legend.

[xxseanathanxx2005]

Yeah, after analyzing this clip a few times. I'm confident it's a elaborate hoax on Letterman. Anyone who thinks otherwise is just stupid. look at 2:35 you can tell it's a joke then. And at the end, he takes off his sunglasses and laughs telling Lettermen "Good Job".

[lupofilms1]

watch UNTITLED SAL LUPO PROJECT

trailer. It's a movie i'm making. i'm a cab driver & filmaker in NYC. You'll like it. I think.

[Miku91]

Two words: Mental breakdown

[candrews123]

who's stayin and who's getting the boot.....nuff said , phoenix will be around in the future he's probably just being wierd like all GOOD actors do once in a while....what's in you future letterman oh yeah nothing!! Your not funny anyway I hate your show you dumbass.....hope Jaoquin does a few more movies..

[Stigmatainmypants]

Phoenix is just acting, and Letterman is obviously in on it. You can see it at the end of the clip when Phoenix takes his glasses off and shakes Dave's hand. He's broken character at that point.

[thug2ryde]

yeah, if you listen you can here him say "Good Job" to letterman after breaking character.

[timhozz]

I am a fan of Joaquin Phoenix, but don't blame Letterman. It was Phoenix that made an ass of himself. Lettermans job is to entertain. Phoenix was certainly in no state for that, he could barely speak! Dave made the best of a bad situation and he was hilarious.

[gOrgeOuspOpsicle]

Joaquin Phoenix is kinda cool. He is alot different person now. and i personally think its cool.

[NdotDiggity]

Lmao..what the fuck is wrong with him? David had me dyin though

[takeyourangeroutonme]

holy toledo

[DISCOKINGRORY]

weekly disco you rock this is the disco king check me out

[thenewcreatures]

letterman is a dick. joaquin aint got shit to prove. real cool of letterman to have the guy on his show and try to make him look like an idiot. didnt even do a good job ot it. kinda funny letterman thinks ppl watch his show to see him. i watch to see the talented people his producers book. not his weak hearted saggy, balled, loser ass. the doc that gave him bypass should be jailed for helping that POS

[billycr69]

stop talking out your ass

[karl198]

Stop talking BS

[MatthewCasey]

Man, the dude's not on drugs, he's an actor for Christ's sake. This is just an excellent performance. I'm not a huge fan or anything, so I'm not saying this out of denial. That behaviour would have had a lead up of progressively similar action if it was the result of drug addiction. This kind of behaviour doesnt materialize in a matter of days.

[johnirishhere]

Letterman can be a rude mother fucker sometimes,

[coldrockdaspot]

haha and Joaquin sorry you couldn't be with us tonight...lol nice one Dave.

[upaste]

american celebs, most of them are nuts. i like letterman - at least he can laugh at himself; others are way too serious about life.

[destroya333]

I always thought Joaquin Phoenix was a cool name. Probably #1. Orlando Bloom comes in a close 2nd. Just say Joaquin Phoenix and you'll like it.

[RylanBlu]

He seems normal to me.

Yes we can change careers

Yes we can wear whatever

Yes Letterman can be a cold fish

[Aethah121]

What works best for being a guest on the Letterman show is coming across as either a god or a freak. Both are a winner. Anything else is boring for this type of audience.

[CapricousCapricorn1]

Joaquin Phoenix was very handsome to me before he got all hairy and caveman-ish. He looks so ugly now...and he is a great actor...he is abusing drugs and needs to check into REHAB, that is the culprit of this inappropriate behavior.

[anmari69]

your seriously thinking that. at the end of the clip he takes of his glasses and says good job. its a publicity stunt.

[taylor1235]

read a godamned book and stop INTRUDING on the lives of OTHERS..  "inappropriate" behaviour????, since when were you the decider of what actions are appropriate and inappropriate partaken by a human being. "He's so ugly now", who gives a flying FUCK what he looks like, he's got nothing to live up to, and it's people like you that poison this planet

[jamiesonthedrummer]

are yu in control of his life? no so quit dissin him he does wateva he wants not wat you want

[zecnobot]

I bet it's an act to get as many people to watch the film as possible.

[coolbeans278]

i think he is trying to channel a late 70s john lennon/ blue's brother john belushi thing. that and throw in a couple bong hits and tada you have Joaquin Phoenix..seriously strange dude..semi-interesting actor....at least we think its all an act haha.

[mawriz]

This is exactly why I like Letterman, he's not afraid to play hardball with his guests. If Joaquin Phoenix went there to promote a movie, he totally didn't show any effort in doing so. Never ever mess with Letterman! :p

[S0vereignty]

Hopefully he isn't going to end up like his brother.

[Bzzzack]

wtf you want dave to do when mr. weirdo is giving one word answers to his questions..it's a fucking talk show and dave is a comedian.

[Neseri2de]

Joaquin is plying his craft and the dumb ass Letterhead is out of his depth. A prize dick head!

If America is hooked on this talentless turd then God save America.

What happened to you guys, where did i all go wrong.

A once intelligent innovative country which the rest of the world aspired to be as, is now a brainwashed overweight apathetic nation of deluded souls.

Go figure..............

[aelert3]

maybe jaoquin is just preparing to play jim morrison in another doors movie, he was acting exactly like him, haha

oh and i am getting tired of all these anti-american remarks on youtube, it is so immature of someone to label a whole country of diverse people in such a disrespectful and UNTRUE manner. America is full of great people and bad people just like every other country in the world.

[kishankakarla]

I hope this is an act..

[666death4life666]

oh shit, he went all Jim Morrison on us!!! XD

[Aesonseth]

Because he should harden the fuck up. Letterman is the funniest american i have ever seen.

[johnnychimneyface]

Letterman is always such a condescending, obnoxious colonel sanders wannabe...

[bullseyegurl]

Weirdest interview ever.

[superninja13]

Dave is often rude and degrades his guests. Phoenix was on the defensive.

Like what he did with his gum.

[tyler2044]

its just an act, not that hard to tell.

[SwissChi]

ahhh......the power of drugs

[jiggahippo]

HAHA! he is a great actor. Im sure he will be in some movie in the future. Seems to be some kind of set up for publicity and some project in the near future. hmmmmm

[skypurple15]

is he on drugs?

[wolfy2424]

Joaquin's sister is Married to Casey Affleck - this is how they know each other and since have started this whole project with Phoenix acting on Letterman

[wolfy2424]

Phoenix is a genius - this is Sasha Cohen all over again

He and casey affleck are filming a documentary and they are going to make a killing on all this publicity

[misskrissxoxo]

that was awkward, you didn't know if he was being serious or not.

[mike3177]

He did say he's going to work on his music but didn't say it was RnB

[cryvsspy]

i'll come to your house and chew gum. awesome. methinks mr. phoenix has been chasing the white rabbit lately

[ninosimone]

letterman is the king of sarcasm lol

[LaChristy89]

he MUST be in character for some movie, or he's just playing around!

[g1Chase357]

Kudos to Phoenix for taking out his gum and putting it right where it belongs.

WTF is Letterman's problem?

[druha10304]

cocaine is a hell of a drug

[naughtypagan72]

Great - now I have to go find that Chapelle clip :)

[zeecezzy]

i believe him and casey affleck are doing this as some sort of comedy or andy kaufman type joke. their together all the time and he is being filmed a lot so the fact he said he was quiting acting is a big put on for their project

[elicasharcherave]

Who fucking cares. Let him be who he wants to be! And piss off you cocky-fuck half-assed poor excuse for a television host. You suck Letterman! The msm blows! Throw your TV in the trash!!!

[elicasharcherave]

Fuck youtube

[elicasharcherave]

youtube censorship?

[60sThru80s]

What a load of crap when journalists describe him as "eccentric."

People who are eccentric are so naturally. This is deliberate and strategized.

Contrived eccentricity is not eccentricity.

[melora72]

I've seen him on past shows and he's always been odd. Or weird. He has never acted like a "normal" person in the ones I've seen. This is just more extreme. I don't think Letterman and the audience should have treated him like that. Especially the Unibomber and gum cracks.

[Kat0505]

weird

[postchevelle]

This was definitely a perfect performance from Joaquin. Look how many suckers have already bought into it.

True Brilliance!!!
