Joaquin Phoenix on Letterman.

[O]

Wow!

 

[Renz]

Phoenix always seemed a little 'out there', but now he's definitely gone off the deep end.

 

[Ryanwb]

This guy's a dumpster fire

 

[RugbyMuffin]

I have never seen a film with this guy in it where he didn't wreck it. The guys is a HORRIBLE actor, IMO.

Thank goodness he is leaving to go do crystal meth and exstacy all day.

Yeah.....keep chewing that gum buddy, nice to see you can't stay sober long enough to do a promo for the movie that is giving you millions of un-earned B.S. dollars.

I cannot stand actors, and musical artists like this that are SLAMMED down the publics throat and fed to the machine.

Horrible, absolutely horrible.

 

[CatBoxBackFan]

CBS yanked it off.

 

[O]

CBS yanked it off.

He was good in Gladiator, and very good in the Johnny Cash movie.

I never really had a problem with dude, but the way he acted was classless. Dave was the conmsumate professional, and showed how decades in the business can allow him to brush him off so easily.

 

[Gee!]

Looks like Dave got duped.. I think its great Dave and Paul are annoying as hell.. I saw this this morning.. If you watch it knowing this, you can see Joaquin almost break character a few times..

Letterman Falls for the Joaquin Sideshow
Posted Feb 12th 2009 1:45AM by TMZ Staff

Joaquin Phoenix brought his phony stony act to David Letterman last night -- and while Letterman thought he was catching the wannabe rapper in an altered/inebriated state, it's Dave who was likely hoodwinked.


We've been on to Joaquin's scam for weeks now -- no doubt he's shooting a mockumentary with Casey Affleck ... pretending he's quitting acting to become a rap star -- even though his singing sucks -- and showing how the media will fall for it.

In Dave's defense -- he ripped the guy apart, ending the interview with "Sorry Joaquin couldn't be here tonight."

Ha, that was hilarious.

Weird, I don't see it that way at all. He has always seemed pretty unique to me. He puts his work out there for people to choose to watch or not.

 

[Shane]

Letterman was GREAT! That was hilarious!

 

[abomb]

Letterman is known in the business to be a royal a-hole anyway, so Phoenix's little game got him a little more than usual.

Call it what you will, but "a little game" is during another show's time.

It is dis-respect for a guy that I think it s horrible actor, and very arrogant.

Furthermore, what ever the guy's publicist wants to say about it, the guy is

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To make a comment on another post. He almost made Gladiator un-watchable in my opinion.

The guy is a horrid actor, can't stand him.

It is just my opinion of the matter. Seems to be another person who rides the cash cow. I have yet to see anything that we was overly impressive or unique.

I see this guy as a person who doesn't respect his business, and takes what he has for granted. Just like about a bizillion other actors that I can name off who are just as bad as him, but he irks me in a real bad way.

Eh, I could go on about it, how bad movies have become, how bad writing has become, the trade of talent for looks, etc., etc.

I thought Letterman was funny at the beginning of the interview, but then he got mean-spirited which was uncalled for, IMO.

Talent for looks? Phoenix is no pretty boy is he? Got a funny lip and everything.

Well, it was compelling television. Folks are talking about the Letterman show. Dave and his sponsors are probably thrilled about it.

 

[Gee!]

I thought he made Gladiator great.. He made it one of my all time favorite movies.. He just played the role of a sicko ***** believable..

 

[Gee!]

I see this guy as a person who doesn't respect his business, and takes what he has for granted.

And I think thats why I like this dude.. Most actors want to push their political beliefs down our throats.. They think their crap dont stunk.. This dude is walking his own path and making fun of people (the media) while doing it.. Love it.. Dave fell for it hook line and sinker.. HA HA at you Dave.. scumbag..

Couldn't agree more. I think what Joaquin did is hilarious, moreso because Letterman is an ass.

Agree about Gladiator also. I've always said that he should have won a best supporting Oscar for his role in that movie.

 

[coyoteshockeyfan]

Letterman was probably in on the act, at the end of the interview he quietly told Phoenix "good job" then they seemed to joke around a little bit.

 

[O]

There have been rumors that Joaquin is going to play an Andy Kaufman.
Well that was not well played.
You want to play Letterman?
This is how it's done.

And I lost ten mnutes of my life waching Joaquin chew gum!

Bull crap. I simply don't believe this to be true.
