Still Think Joaquin Phoenix Is Just Pretending To Be Nuts?

Well, I take it back.  I thought Joaquin Phoenix was certifiable but now I think he’s just playing a nut on TV.  My reasoning?  Every time Phoenix does insane stuff, his brother-in-law Casey Affleck is there videotaping.

In his newest asshole move, last night Joaquin Phoenix jumped on a heckler while he was performing at the LIV nightclub in Miami.  Shocking, I know-venues are actually booking this idiot.  Joaquin, who was supposed to perform at 10:30, ambled onstage around 2:00 a.m. greeted by an agitated audience.  After a few minutes of, uh…unintelligible entertaininment, Phoenix leapt off the stage and onto a heckler in the crowd.  Security pulled Joaquin off and escorted him away.

This has to be a joke, right?  After the David Letterman interview a few weeks back, Rosie O’Donnell alluded to Phoenix having a drug problem on her blog.  Entirely possible.

  • Having a flashback to a public service announcement featuring a fried egg… “THIS is your brain on drugs”…

  • If this isn’t a joke, someone needs to send him to rehab, stat, before he ends up like his brother.

    Seriously, tho. If it’s not a joke, what the fuck are people around him telling him? Oh no, man, you’re great! This is why famous people should stick to what they were made famous for. He is not rapping. He is like slurring words like a re-re

  • Last time a celebrity got physical in a nightclub (and wasn’t it in Florida also?) they ended up having a court date and did some community service time. Not very smart.

  • He either needs a psychiatrist, rehab, or the joke needs to be over.
    Sadly I think it’s a psychiatrist. And actually maybe rehab too. He may be self medicating :-(

  • I am so confused by him. If it is a joke, it’s not funny, and I don’t see the point. If it’s real, he is obviously not sane…Either way this is bad news bears.

  • If this whole thing is a joke it’s the most unfunny one ever made. Personally I think he needs some thorazine. And a shave.

  • He was so very handsome back when he did the Gladiator, softspoken too but so dreamy!! lol. Now that I watch this its like what the f*ck happened!?! I really hope this is just acting..

  • I think he lost weight really fast, it’s too bad even though I knew there was no chance in anything, in my thoughts, I had to have crush on him when he was having his gag, it would have been nice to be into him at the time when he looked really hot, and his gag wasn’t around and I would have been mad about Topez and Eva Mendes instead but the clock can’t be turned and so onto the better races, in the great world of rats and pigeons frolly “obsessed with celebrities my life is over”, I can only be in that light for so long in capture and intensity, and then it dies out and life goes on, the only thing that changed me was I had to cut my hair, awe, oh well and now I’m homeless again and I’m jerk buddies with women that look like him. It’s the living and if he did this as a “Rio fascist media stunt” I still wrote that I still loved him any way.
