Joaquin Phoenix On David Letterman
 

I had to share this.. This interview is funny as shit. :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

http://watching-tv.ew.com/2009/02/joaquin-phoenix.html

i saw that and was wondering if he was for real.

What a fucking shame. I was actually embarrassed watching that :2 cents:

I didnt dare to watch that.

lol very odd

wow, that was painful to watch. He was def on something.:Oh crap

He's most probably acting/playing it out for an upcoming role or he wouldn't have gone on the show all wasted out.

I guess his has some contractual obligations to the studio to promote the movie on talk shows. Just turned up, sat there, and then left.

That's the way to ensure that you will not make another movie.

dude was most likely been up for days - twitching, picking at shit ... at least he wasn't picking at the carpet or peeking out the blinds.

nice one. kaufman lives!

Man I hope that was all just an act... something tells me it's not, but the way he took off the glasses and had a sudden burst of energy at the end tells me that either:

a) he wanted to tell Dave what his real intentions were
b) he wanted to confront Dave for joking at his expense.

I think he was acting.

i don't about that JF. he wouldn't be the first actor to go on a talk show messed up. who knows what was up with that. weird though.

I'm sure he was contractually obligated to be on the show as part of the promotion for this new film and this was his way of protesting since he had no interest in doing so :2 cents:

motherfucking slow

indeed! :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

that was AWESOME television.

once an actor...

I didnt even know who it was until they showed the clip. And it made no difference.

All an act for some kind of Documentary he's working on with Casey Affleck or so I heard.

He's a pretty good actor :2 cents:

Agreed
it's total Andy Kaufman...

Thank you at least someone gets it and yes Kaufman would be very proud. By him saying he is not acting anymore he is really doing his best acting job ever. Its great entertainment. I cant wait to see the documentary and hear what he says about it.

ITs all part of a marketing gimick.

Ben Afleck's bro is filming it.

Puff Daddy and Afleck were laughing asses off when they were at his last show that was happening to being filmed.

If he was really that fucked up i dont think his friends would be filming and laughing.


Its all gimick for the footage and marketing.

Afleck is known for documentary film persuits.

the comments on that page are hilarious!

I'm sure he is. I just dont watch many movies. I think he was in "Signs" though, which I've seen on tv.

I second that...

What a genius..... Phoenix has gone viral and is now more popular than ever.

Dude, I don't think this is true, maybe he was just acting... This was so funny.

funny as fuck and come on its so damn obvious its just an act

I think that Johnny Cash role went to his head.

Maybe he was on something, maybe he didn't sleep, maybe he was really nervous.

I really hope its that and that he isn't following in his much more talented brother's footsteps.

omg that was nuts..
here is another linkage for it https://youtube.com/watch?v=HXpYk7WGN5Y

no... that was absolutely coke and heroine... not just one or the other. and the coke might have been crack... the heroine is the drop out... doesn't really know why... no reason to say anything but, "What did you give these guys? Nitrous?" the coke / crack was the chewy mouth... picky... Yeah, he's fucked.

correct, that end behavior is not congruent with the rest of the act.

thats the full vid

he was chewing gum but I agree with being high on herion.

Cringe-inducing awkward.. like an episiode of The Office

Having seen way too many people on drugs myself, I can say that WAS NOT the result of drugs.

He was acting and it was genius. Not sure what it was for but he played it perfect. I've seen the clip on every news show all day so he is definitely getting press for himself and his new movie and pretty much whatever he does next.

From discoveringjoaquin.com:

A member of the audience reports on IMDB :
"Ok, so now that it's aired, let me say that to me as an audience member, it was clear to me that it was an act. During commercial breaks he and Dave would laugh and talk cordially, and when it was over he took his glasses off, turned and waved at the audience and chuckled and had a MUCH different demeanor. It was to say "this was a joke guys! Thanks for playing along."

He was acting, that was not for real.

OMG I saw this.. I called KB and told him "this is the most uncomfortable television ever"

Letterman was so funny during that interview. Letterman rules!

Loved it.I don't know if he was on something or just acting

Don't burst their bubble Boneprone, they are all into into believing what they see. If you start bursting now what will happen to Santa Claus :winkwink:

so, what you are saying is that JP faked being a doped-up rapper on tv so the footage can be used for a upcoming doc?

lol, he's fucking ACTING!!

maybe... though he seems hip enough to not act like he's on drugs that he's not taking. I'm not sure that's funny... but maybe he was just doing it for publicity and he's not that cool.
