RAINRA Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 seems more like a midlife crisis. When he said he was quitting acting ... it was one thing but the new look and his drunken rapping seems a bit out of character for even him. Any idea what is up? I know he wants to try new things but this is like going from North to South. I think he is an awesome actor and would love to see him back but this looks like he is just lost.

_raVen_ Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 All I got was a video interview of some Jazmine person. What did he do? He is certainly a fine actor. I think he'll return soon with some story of a life journey spiel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im Your Man Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Jesus Christ what is this ? Maybe it,s a joke, to show how a great actor he is, maybe he lost a bet with a friend so now he has to do this... but if it's real I'm sure he's completely lost and he should just withdraw, leave in a zen monastery and have some time for himself, it would be better than to become a rapper with a beard and sun glasses...

dontxhide Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 MTV NEWS: "Phoenix has said he's quitting acting to focus on his burgeoning hip-hop career. But with brother-in-law Casey Affleck following him around to film his every Andy Kaufman-esque move, speculation has been raised that the acclaimed actor is either having a public breakdown, suffering from a substance problem or playing an elaborate prank on the media for the purposes of the documentary. Letterman asked about his plans to take time off from acting, quipping "and I think you're taking a little time off tonight." He later urged Phoenix, "I'm hopeful that you will reconsider and come back to acting, because there's nobody really better than you are.'" A lot of people are saying he is going into it, like this quote says, and "Andy Kaufman-esque" joke. If you never heard of Andy Kaufman go rent the movie Man on the Moon. Although that doesn't exactly describe his life (no bio-pic does) its still a great movie in general. Some are saying Joaquin is going into Hip-Hop and acting all high like this like Andy Kaufman went into wrestling by wrestling girls and acting like an asshole to everyone. As a joke. Who knows.

_raVen_ Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 After watching that, I like him even more now. But I do hope, that it is not indicative of a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAINRA Posted February 13, 2009 Author Share Posted February 13, 2009 How do you cope with substance abuse depression and a brother who died from drugs. I think this is no prank. I think he is ill. Checks into Rehabback in 2005http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,1048663,00.html previous interview on letterman see the difference before and now here is another interviewhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oExRgD9zmNo&NR=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegan Joe Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 It was a little odd. But I thought maybe he was just snubbing the Hollywood snobbery bullshit. I couldn't really tell little was said. He definitly was there not to impress anyone. He tryed to ask Letterman to let him play on the show but Letterman was brash as usual.

dontxhide Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Some people brought up a good point though. At the end of the interview he stands up, smiles at Dave, and says Thank You. Very clear and very precise, unlike the rest of his interview at all. Who knows. If it's a problem I hope he gets help. I'm still thinking its a joke though, for now.
