Don’t laugh at the Joaq. It makes for a very awkward interview.
Joaquin Phoenix told E! Online yesterday that a movie he just wrapped will be his last acting role – EVER.
Standing next to brother in law Casey Affleck, Phoenix tells the interview that he’s done with acting forever and going to focus on music. The EOnline guy ain’t no Barbara Wah-Wah. He can’t get his head together enough to ask any intelligent questions and just starts laughing. Phoenix gets annoyed real quick and takes off leaving Affleck behind to finish up the interview.
Watch the interviewer’s face at the very end – it’s so funny. If you could put a picture in the dictionary next to the word “Duuhhhh” – this would be the money shot.
So – this is the bummer of the week. He kind of seems like a dick in person – but I LOVE him as an actor. Guess I’ll have to go rent Parenthood and relive the good old days. I wonder what his music name will be? Artist Formerly Known as Leif?
