In a rather awkward exchange with E! Online, Joaquin Phoenix announced his decision to pack up his acting and head back to his new first true love, music. You know, the music that he’s loved to play ever since he learned how to strum the guitar for Walk the Line three years ago. It’s a hallowed path that young Phoenix takes, one blazed by the likes of Russell Crowe, Johnny Depp, and Keanu Reeves, not to mention his siblings River and Rain. And as you remember, all of them were beloved by millions for their music. Welcome to the biz, Joaquin Phoenix! It’s a great time to climb aboard this ship!
He might have the help of his friends in Arckid, a.k.a. Spacehog, a.k.a. The Band That Had That One Dude Who Might Still Be Married To Liv Tyler But We Are Too Lazy To Check. OK, OK, “In The Meantime” was a good song. Still, Johnny Depp had the Butthole Surfers backing him up and we saw how that turned out!
Oh, Joaquin…you’ll always be Leaf to me. Jinx put Max in space!
I’m giving even odds that this retirement lasts under two years.
Is Joaquin Phoenix Retiring? [E! Online; HT: CHUD]
I call fake. That seemed a little staged and unnatural, he’s not a good enough actor to make that seem plausible, he had his own camera crew with him too.
@wono: Maybe, but he’s a little more over-the-top than that usually.
What does this have to do with the dude from That 70s Show?
That interviewer was right to laugh in his face.
Shame, I always liked him as an actor, and based on the fact that he’s directed videos for She Wants Revenge and Silversun Pickups, he’s probably got pretty shitty taste in music.
@Al Shipley: As Omar Little would say, “Indeed.”
@PengIn: It really looks like he’s taking his style cues from Momjeans Masterson, doesn’t it?
this is should be good.
@AL: or jeff tweedy.
@Al Shipley: I like Silversun Pickups.
She Wants Revenge is not very good, I’ll agree with you on that.
