  • Lol it was all an act

  • thats what they all say "I quit" blah blah blah until a movie deal comes to them then their back..

  • he's on drugs trust me I can tell......

  • worse mockumentary ever!

    

  • I don't believe this was an act, he's not that good of an actor.

  • @stigler30 pfffft yes he is!!

  • @MichaelxJackson1 I've seen nearly every one of his movies and no he IS NOT a good enough actor to fake something like this.

  • @stigler30 No, he's actually a brilliant actor. Have you seen Gladiator? Have you seen Walk the Line? Now, I do believe he fell off the deep end and went on Letterman to promote his rap career, but since that failed miserably, he tried to fool the mass population later on by coming out with this 'MOCKUMENTARY' and re-appearing on the show with his old-look in an attempt to save his acting career.......Which might have worked, since many people can't seem to put 2 and 2 together.

  • @EventuallyWeMerge I've seen both of those movies. While he does have acting skill he's not the type of actor who can become the character and you forget you're watching that actor.

  • @stigler30 Yeah, he's not legendary-status like Gary Oldman or Daniel Day Lewis. Those are two of my favorites.

  • @stigler30 He is WONDERFUL actor. Seriously. He won a F****** Grammy for WalkTheLine. See Two Lovers.See To Die For. Even for those 2 films critics were perplexed and someone thought he wasn't acting. The truth is that he's just brilliant. It was all an act. Damn!

  • it is all a hoax! great job man!

  • I like think he's like high or like something.

  • after watching i am still here

    awesomeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeee

  • man your all dumbasses, you dont even know that "Im Still Here" is a mockumentary Phoenix just shows how retarded the media and stupid people really are, when i first heard of all this news i knew it was fake and now its confirmed- this goes to those who have been puttin him down since 08

  • @guitarist5477 how many vids did u put this on lol but i still see what ur saying

  • @guitarist5477 cuz in the film there's some things and one line crying, "I'm a joke and i said i wouldn't act i have to go back" -- then he's thin clean shaven short hair and kissing Letterman's ass, being vaguge and not recieving rewards for thsi BRILLIANT Method acting, and odd, he's not working, stuff not lined up, and it was all planned out and fake, or did you listen here? He was being a bit naive, he fooled you apologizing to Letterman, having it all is too much when you know you're role

  • holy hangover hes high out of his mind

  • Great !!!

  • whatever it's just staged

  • its justin bobby from the hills!! haha

  • This vid should be used as an informative video to school kids: Taking drugs WILL make you say "like" far more often than needed.

  • mark my words - he will sober up, pull himself together, and in a few yers, i dont know, maby even in ten, his thoughts will change, so eventualy we will see him in theaters again, doing, what he does best.

  • @Atstokite The funny thing is.... this whole "Joaquin doing rap"-thing, was all a hoax. Maybe the greatest mediastunt in newer history!

  • @jaxiiiboy agree

  • i think it's beyond words that how much he did for a project. he had to stay in the character all this time, and to know that some people would never understand what he was doing. 2 years ~, it's god damn long to make the world believe that he was fucked up. even i bought it! now i knew the true, i was completely blown away, and i respect him! and he is absolutely my favorite actor hand down~~

  • It's all a hoax, according to the New York Times. I'm pissed, I spent "like" fifteen bucks on that stupid shit I'm Still Here movie...

  • @MrLtMuldoon its like a spinoff of his friends ledger movie

    how was the movie

  • is he on drugs

  • dude hes like shit faced

  • I'm sick of sitting through a 30 second advert every time I try to load a youtube video.

  • wow......he's really fucked up, lol.

  • is he drunk 

  • this was all a hoax for his new movie about the media

  • my graqmual likes walk the line and he is also on an old movie called SIGNS

  • like,like,like,like What d hell is happening 2 Joaquin. He has even "like" Gwyneth confused. Like,Like come back Joaquin kate ireland

  • That's dedication. He never dropped his persona. And people still can't believe it was all a hoax.

  • This son of a bitch fooled me, BUT IT WAS SO FUN

  • he is gone man the drugs have fried his brain

  • so what is the name of his movie?

  • @lisapoet Im Still Here

  • haha you guys are trippin this whole things was a joke for a movie hes making called im still here haha he punkd all yo asses lol

  • Ar-tism?? Maybe Autism... I feel really sad about whats happening to him.

  • LOL at all these people trippin out and saying GOOD LUCK JOAQUIN BE STRONG lol you guys are so lame...i didn't even know about this because i don't keep up on celebrity daily life 24/7

  • hes really fcked up on drugs.......shades and twitching erratic behaivour. Probably cocaine addict now

  • @cygnusx555 Read the news - it was all made up, acting, a hoax. He fooled everyone. Watch the new vid of him on Letterman, it was all method acting ;)

  • @cygnusx555 lol idiot

  • @SkruffiDawg lol idiot.....

  • Is he alive!? I thought he was gone 2 years ago

  • I agree.

  • well sure it was fake but DAMN THATs GREAT ACTING if it's method acting worth an oscar since he fooled the world

  • Comment removed

  • All owneds

  • Casey Affleck came clean and admitted it was all a hoax.

    Great job mister Pheonix!! Probably the best role of your life! You should definitely get an award for your performance.

  • @DuckVanQuack really? cornball i

  • @InsufficientFare

    Ha ha! Is that all you could come up with sir? Very disappointing I have to say. Come on, I'm sure you can do better than that. Cornball is too nice. It's almost a compliment!! Gimme something really insulting. I'll even give you a thumb up!

    Have a good life!

  • @DuckVanQuack i meant to say more but then i realized you can't argue with the brilliance that is to play a hoax and expose it prematurely and at the end realize you only convinced a couple of idiots.

  • @InsufficientFare Oh come on, he did convince more than a couple of idiots! Pheonix's story was fairly plausible until he announced he wished to become a rap artist, which gave me a hint it was a hoax. But his performance was pretty convincing in my opinion, some people do lose their mind and drop-out! So yes I absolutely agree with you it wasn't so well orchestrated towards the end. I never said he was a genius and that is concept was groundbreaking, Andy Kaufman did it with more brilliance

  • @DuckVanQuack Nobody in history will ever touch the genius of Andy Kaufman.

  • @EventuallyWeMerge

    I couldn't agree more! I wish there were more wise nutjobs like Kaufman these days.

  • All a fake...it was a hoax..check out yahoo...it was all for a mockumentary by Casey Affleck.

  • All a fake...it was a hoax..check out yahoo...it was all for a mockumentary by Casey Affleck.

  • i cant beleve that joaquin phoenix left the movies seen he was so good when he did the movie walk the line i wish that he stayed as johnny cash he acted just like him i hate to see him quit he was good at what he did i loved johnny cash like if he was my dad and june carter was my mom will good luck on your new roll to bad you gotta go i will miss your acting and you were very hot take care from donna victoria

  • this guy needs to take a reality check, ,he was so great in walk the line, if he'd go into jazz or r&b i d understand but hip hop,is he trying to be another matisyahu??

  • @krzifngrs its a hoax, hes built an hoax character for hus new upcoming documentary.. jeez!

  • He's making a bigger name for himself, his own way.

  • OH yeah, such an act. I don't believe for a minute he has quit acting... maybe in the traditional sense.... His sister is married to Casey Affleck and they made the movie "I'm Still Here." His interview with Letterman is shocking and funny at the same time. He got monstrous laughs by doing nothing and wearing a silly get up with facial hair. He hopes he will "emotionally impact" us with his "other thing" that he will be doing.

  • over rated self sensation needs a good dose of soda crackers...maybe some blue suede shoes and a pet monkey

  • How many times did he say "like"

  • @THEBOOSTERHUNTERS who cares?

  • @THEBOOSTERHUNTERS all the part of the genius of his acting

  • hopefully some day finds peace with God in his heart its sad to see a soul with out the love  of God jesus christ amen...

  • @H2motion can we leave the fake man in the sky out of it ? shit you thumpers never stop lol

  • @isaveu are u sure u are not satan leaving this message

  • @H2motion lol yes I am that pretend bad man under the earth.. hugs

  • He seems like a fag, not that there is anything wrong with that! His stupid stunt is not worth watching!!

  • "connote my artism...."

  • he didn't say 'like' enough times :P

  • greener pastures. lol. genius

  • It's an ACT from perhaps one of the greatest actors of all time. He did it all and risked it all to make a move for a buddy, Casey Affleck. I watched the clips and am amazed while I watch then sit back and laugh because you know he is laughin at people on the inside. He did this for over a year just to make a move and prove a poitn.. Check out "I'm Here".

  • If this is an act hes the best acter in the world

  • He looked fucked up

  • he is a great actor but....he swim in unclear waters for some time...i think he is drunk and crazy a litlle

  • And good fucking riddance! He's a shitty actor with a shitty organization! I spit in his eye! And anyone who has a problem with it, I fucking DARE them to make me apologize!

  • @NinjaGhostScorpion Apologize!

  • Fair play to him. He is down to earth and does not take himself seriously. Most Hollywood actors are too above themselves. Well done Joaquin!

  • Why quit now Joaquim? Why not 8 years ago?

  • The dude is rude and full of himself

  • He is now a memeber of the illuminati you figure out the rest.

  • @350ztech LOLOLOL

  • he should play as the joker for batman 3

  • @Platikum damn straight

  • @Platikum fuck u thats his friend heaths role

  • @Platikum

    What the hell is wrong with you?! No one cane take Heath Ledgers place ass the joker and he is dead (RIP) so I don´t think the joker shoud be in Batman 3

  • @MrSupramkiv ledger was joquins close friend theres pictures of them,yet hes not talking about him or seems sad strange..anyway he shoudlve nvr did the joker then he still be alive

  • @Platikum no, ledger played the joker and that character has been topped and is over with-- time for the Riddler to step up to the plate, and Joaquin Phoenix has frightening something to him, perfect for the role!

  • @BestOfTheBestNumber9 nolan said he wount have ridder

  • @Platikum dude i was thinking the same fucking thing !!! he is the best actor for that role

  • maybe hes drunk or fucked up like river phoenix but looking at this and as a huge fan of him GOOD BYE joaquin he was FUCKED UP in this interview cuz i think hes still fuck up when he called the paramedics for his bro just like me i got one family member left and i hate him but FUCK IT WHY WAIT OF HEARTBREAK aint gonna change shit i tried it and IT DOSNT FUCKING WORK

  • what happened? he was so amazing in walk the line :)

  • He is a mind controlled slave and wants out - good on him, look at the poor man he is clearly not thriving in Hollywood. He needs to get away from the beasts and monsters that are controlling him and find himself and make himself one and whole again. Good luck Joaquin!!

  • Yeah this was all an hoax for the mockumentary he made with Casey Affleck. He looks normal and has been acting normal now that the mock is done filming.

  • its sad dat da murda of wakeen brotha riva had push him ova da ledge an now he has gone fool!! quittin ackin to become da next puff daddy an den growin dat burrd an showin up on da lettermen show mumblin like he victa newman!! maybe wen justice is serve on john frusante fo killin riva den wakeen will be back to normal makin walk da line 2 wid reese withaspoon!!

  • @sexykeishaxxx

    Talk properly. your a disgrace

    :)

  • oh joaquin please let this all be a stunt, dont tell you have really gone mad! you are so talented and beautiful.

  • All this clap trap! The guy simply won't make it in music, he is too into himself to let music speak through him. This is a cynical publicity stunt or else it's just a druggie that realises the drugs don't work and now he wants the world to fill the whole. I'd say this fella is damaged after seeing his brother die. That's fair enough, but heck, I saw my Dad die, you don't see me tell all and sundrie that I am in need of a career change. A load of bollix if you ask me!

  • gosh people are so gullible....

  • this is all a stunt building up to a type of film or personal documentary, hence why good friend Casey afflect and others follow him with cameras... its reported that he might play the new hulk...

  • nope. 

  • He just wanted some space, I think. He is a brilliant actor. Maybe he wanted to get away from the insanity of Hollywood too.

  • the way he acted reminded me of river phoenx..

  • I love joaquin phoenix. I think he's disillussioned with the movie making business. I hope he is well .

  • nothing is wrong with him, he just wants to do other stuff, respect his choices dude

  • wtf is wrong with him???

  • I think he's on tha drugs!!!

  • Comment removed

  • @TheJughed1 i doubt he'd go on drugs after what he SAW happened to his brother.....

  • I dunno :/ maybe he didn't like the life of acting maybe he thought it was forced on him he just wants to be far from perfect so he scruffed up alllllot lol

  • Lol this is a big hoax. The way he's acting... He has so many fooled right now. Hilarious. The documentary coming out... Come on.

  • I think this guy is an amazing actor. I really don't see why he's quit acting? I went on his profile on IMDB to see what new films he was gonna be in and when it didn't come up with anything past 2008 I thought he might have died! Does anyone really know why he's quit the acting?

  • He used to be so well-articulated and nice, and now he just seems like a douche... :( It's sad what life can do to people, because I honestly do think his "rapper-carrier" is just sad.

  • @heyisaura rapper-carrier, like a helicopter designed for lyrical spewing black men?

  • damn, whats he on? I'll try it.

  • i totaly would go on like that if i was rich talented and famous.

  • What happened to him? He was such a great actor :(

  • waw! strange! he don't look right!!

  • He's got money, he's got time and he sure got the talent...more power to him! Fuck hollywood! He walks away from it all when on top, doin' his own shit...

  • yeah he was a great actor, but i think he's doing the right thing, expanding his creative and his life's horizons. :D i think he's probably had a reality check or something:)

  • It was all an act! He fooled us all! DLISTED JUST REPORTED HE FAKED THE CRAZY! It was part of a mockumentary.

  • If he wants to retire from movies to lose himself in drugs that's his choice. We choose to remain within or without. His choice.

  • he seems slightly out of touch its shame what drugs can do too ppl it ruins them when it gets into the wrong hands

  • too much coke like his bro

  • is he pissed drunk there? lol

  • Is he doin this Andy Kaufman style? Kaufman had a lot of the same reactions with his skits...is he for real? or is this just a prank? Regardless I need to see more of this.

  • wat a fuckwit

  • this is a publicity stunt for sure.

  • as much i would like it to be a hoax at the same time hit a chord when he says hope to emotional impact you with that too, if the guy wants another path then thats that man you hear of singers wanting to go into acting why not actors going into singing hip hop or not

  • is he drunk or brain washed

  • america is the best and the worst. theres the example

  • It's Like you know, Like you know Like Its like you really know Like you Like have to Like you know move on and Like...............DRUGS!!!! his Brother was way better at it!!! BAM!!! SNAP!!!

  • there's something wrong with his speech? Is he on some kind of drugs? Whats going on with this guy? ??????? This is really weird.

  • fuck all haters. He can do whatever he wants..

  • he is a great actor and has a great voice, similar to Brando he kind of mumbles his words but he's fasinating to listen to! even when he's high!

  • says a lot of "like" LOL..... this is wrong...

  • sounds alot like steevo on drugs, maybe addicted to no2 or ketamine

  • He should take ledgers roll in the batman series.

  • GOD what happened to Joaquin, he looks and sounds sooo fucked up and not rite in the head. dam i feel sorry for the guy.

  • he needs to stop snorting the coke ha good actor but needs to lay of the yayo

  • definately not coke....probably heron or K

  • I feel so bad forthis amazing actor !he's very talented but obviously he is on drugs or anything i din't know but the way he speaks is just scary and not normal

  • god damn hes fucked up

  • druggie or not, actor or not, the man is amazing. fuck all the haters man.

  • @Spacecowboyy Amazing at what? getting high off his ass?

  • @Spacecowboyy do you think all burnt out rappers who look homeless are amazing?

  • @Spacecowboyy True That!!!!

  • @Spacecowboyy I have to say I love him....I adore him and think is is awesome....I mean I trust everything he said in any of his movies and that´s acting, but what the hell? He looks like he is on some hard drugs. I just wish he would say the past few years were a joke and we are all stupid that we believed he is turning int oa rapper and quiting acting....that he all punked us and that´s it....

  • i wonder what he popped, blew, or smoked before these awards :0

  • fuck snobs

  • A couple of interviews and appearances here and there and he's got everyone fooled....LOL

  • he looks/acts like when he collapsed and O D on stage in walk the line! am i wrong?

  • He's depressed and surrounded by energetic happy-go lucky idiots telling him not have a beard etc. Fuck those hippocrits he's doing what he wants and also he can do hip-hop -> the man is from puerto rico for christs sake

  • i think he's trying to be black. nah mean?

  • And I really don't think he would fake something like this being that his brother died from drugs I don't think he would be the type to find it funny to go around acting like this...If anything I think this is the more realer side of him.

  • I really don't no if he is on drugs are not I been on weed,pills,liquor,coke and heroin before and I never acted like this usually people on drugs are more happier... The way he is talking and running out of breath is weird it seems like his breathing is off and at 27 seconds he has a tic..To me it looks more like someone who has been using drugs for a while and is detoxing and trying to get off and leave that life witch would be why in interviews before he was happy and now he is trying to quit

  • @Trickdd

    Lets listen to this fuckin genius.

    "More happier" < Fucking pathetic.

  • @ lifeiswhatyoumakeit - It doesn't matter that he watched his brother die from a drug overdose. When you're on the stuff, it makes you feel like you are immortal. But to lose River and now Joaquin looks like he's head that way - I truly hope this whole bit is a fake.

  • There is something I like about Joaquin Phoenix..

  • @unrescued I like his as well and man do I miss his brother .

  • hes not on drugs, he watched his brother die from that shit. There is a huge chance this is all a fake joke, but i dont know.

  • The "fake joke" has been going on for what, like a year and a half?

    He's definitely got a drug issue.

  • @lifeiswhatyoumakeitt I know what you mean, but in any case I think none of that is any of our buisness.

  • i feel terrible for this man, i think he seriously needs help i dont know if its drugs or mental issues but it doesnt seem right that hollywood has turned a blind eye or just mocked him to deal with it. i hope he straightens out : s

  • fuckin drugs realy fuck you up

  • Exactly Dogg..

    This Foo Went Fuckin Crazy

  • I personally think he's on drugs, I know its wrong, but look how weird he's acting
