According to him it's not a joke, and it's just something everyone is making up to explain whats going on. Oh sure he was bad when he first was on the stage, but is it hard to believe people make mistakes?

His family is apparently a bunch of musicians and he supposedly wishes to continue down that legacy.

As funny as it is I found everyone were being a bunch of dicks towards him, which if he's being serious or not, was pretty rude. Oh sure they might think it's a joke, but come on humor him a bit, get in on the joke.

A tool is a tool regardless. I mean if you suck, you suck, and not even the most perfect tool could save you. And if your damn good then even with the worst tool ever conceived you could chug out some high quality shit.

this guy is rad.

I'd say he looks pretty depressed and the way he reacted when they started laughing about his hip hop stuff probably pissed him off, he's probably getting alot of shit for it.

yeah he seems like he is sick of people. everyone is just laughing like douchebags and at one point he's even like "is that a joke? what do you gas them up with?" which is funny but really its true

Oh man, if that really is true I gotta find a way to get in Letterman's studio audience.

I wonder why Joaquin didn't ask him for some. It's apparently some potent shit.

I didn't think he seemed messed up that much, just pretty unhappy to be there. The second half of the interview he seemed perfectly normal and aware that Letterman was giving him shit.

my history teacher from high school told me the last time he went to New York he took his wife to see Letterman and they actually had like.. front row seats or whatever and they got there early and some guy working for the studio came up to them and was like good evening folks, how sober are you? and they were like well we havent had anything to drink today and he was like alright come with me and he took them to a private bar in the studio and got them drunk. apparently letterman has a policy that everyone in the front row must be at least a little intoxicated so they'll laugh harder at his lame ass jokes

if he's sick of people maybe he shouldn't have gone on letterman for an interview

what do you THINK is going to happen

sometimes you have to they don't just say "oh im gonna go on letterman it'll be fun lol!!" they usually have obligations. its their job to go on letterman. they are not "buddys" with letterman. really do you not know this?

yes coulombs are "germaine", did you learn that word at talk like a dick school?

What I mean is that it's just part of the territory. Going on Letterman means this is what you're dealing with, so having a bad attitude about it isn't helping anything.

yeah... this definitely seemed fake to me, especially when he stuck his gum to the table.

i think a lot of celebrities do shit to get gossiped about just like we're doing right now. he might never admit that it's fake, but it seems like that to me.

either way i think it was kind of cruel/stupid for people to laugh the way they did. other than the mummbling at the beginning it just seemed like he was nervous or didn't want to be there or what ever...

I don't know, man. Just staring off into space for several seconds after being asked a question doesn't seem like nervousness to me. Even less so since he did it several times.

letterman wasn't being an ass btw he was just being a talk show host/trying to make the segment interesting. and I doubt there's actually anything wrong with joaquin unless he's naturally a great character even when depressed and out of it

I thought Letterman did a really good job considering how hard it would be to interview someone who is barely responding, if at all.

This is a publicity stunt. Him quitting acting and becoming a rapper is part of a mockumentary Casey Affeck is filming. It will be about Joaquin Phoenix's life and music career. Right now his playing the part (Borat style).

Also, if you look at the video before it ends, he stands up, shakes Letterman's hand and takes off his glasses. I bet he's telling him what he was doing.

http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/b79439_casey_affleck_joaquins_line_with.html

Even though the article says it's not a lie, I can say the same thing about Borat. Everything about him is a lie. The interaction with people were all real.

River used to mess with the press. Like he told them that he has been part of a cult practically since birth (that part might be true, his parents seem "out there" based on what I've read) and he told a reporter that he lost his virginity when he was 4 as a result of cult practices or something.

So I think Joaquin might be doing the same thing. I also heard the hip hop thing was a farce.
