Is Joaquin Phoenix playing a joke on us?
Thirty-four year-old actor Joaquin Phoenix recently announced his retirement from Hollywood. He said he plans instead to focus on his music career. What music career, you ask? Well, he played Johnny Cash in a movie, so I guess that makes him part-musician. Now it seems Phoenix is making a documentary of his transition from actor to musician.
Hmmm, smells like a ruse to me. The former actor did an impromptu rap performance in Culver City, CA, which was filmed by his buddy (and partner in crime?), Casey Affleck. Click here to see it. Defamer is calling the whole retirement thing “bullshit” and Phoenix’s scruffy bluesman get-up looks like it’s for a role. Maybe he and Affleck got sick of reading scripts and decided to make their own movie? Way to be proactive, boys!
