Anyone catch Letterman the other night? Totally weird yet funny interview with Joaquin.

Joaquin Phoenix's Bizarre Letterman Appearance: (VIDEO)

Personally I think it was staged, especially when Letterman was trying to come up with Gwyneth Paltrow's name.

Phoenix would pimp his mom if it got him some press.

Strictly for the birds and the tabloids that one.

I watched it was I am not sure it was staged. I don't know much about him though. Does he seek publicity in weird ways normally?

Either way, the whole interview was quite awkward...made me a little uncomfortable.

it was a staged event. although you don't hear it in that version, if you look around on youtube, you'll find a version where at the very end of the interview letterman leans over and says "good job" or something like that (forgot what exactly). but even without that, it's pretty obvious that it was staged. weird but funny imo

All talk show interviews are staged. I saw Lindsay Lohan on both Letterman and Leno in the same week once and she said exactly the same thing in each interview.

I don't know man... Phoenix seemed to be wacked out on some goofballs or something. Even as good an actor as he is he ain't that good. Unless he is doing a movie soon about a paranoid drug addict or something...why act like that?

 

[IceClass]

He can't act.
Period!

I can only hope and pray he follows through on his delicious threat to get out of acting.

I think he is a good actor, a very good one in fact.

I never saw this interview but it can't be as weird as the one Letterman did with Oliver Reed way back who showed up drunk and belligerent. I've seen a few weird ones with Letterman though so that is why I think they are all probably staged in some way. Never seen a weird one with Leno so why always Letterman?

Actually,

Word is that he has been working with Snoop and Sean Combs (puff daddy).

 

[milkweg]

Oh, he probably was on drugs then.

I can only surmise you hold the thespian profession in deep contempt.

There are actors and Tinseltown dilettantes.
Phoenix firmly belongs in the latter category.

Anyone left under the erroneous impression the poor dolt can act should be hog tied in front of a TV playing Gladiator on a permanent loop.

Real pimps do drugs.

I guess he needed to make sure he could keep up the lifestyle in R&B. Too bad he didn't hold to the motto "Practice makes Tolerance"

Oh well, that is your opinion and you are entitled to it but that doesn't mean you are right either. In fact, my opinion is that you are completely wrong.

Just my opinion of course, but I think in the case of Gladiator it wasn't that Phoenix's acting was bad as much as it was a case of not so good casting. I think they probably could have found a better fitting actor for the role of Commodus.
