What Happened to Joaquin Phoenix? It was fake after all.
Many people questioned if Mr. Phoenix's career and mental breakdown was real. Well, it turns out the jig is up. Casey Affleck, freshly freed from his sexual harassment lawsuit, finally admitted that the rapping Phoenix was all fake for the film “I'm Still Here”.
From NY Times, ((“I never intended to trick anybody,” said Mr. Affleck, an intense 35-year-old who spoke over a meat-free, cheese-free vegetable sandwich on Thursday. “The idea of a quote, hoax, unquote, never entered my mind.” ))
They even went as far as not booking him for any acting gigs for two years. His last movie was Two Lovers back in 2008. So, technically he really has been out of work for that long. That's still super devotion to your craft when you don't line up any gigs while preforming this act.
And, Phoenix's interview with Letterman was absolutely brilliant. That had more to do with Letterman selling Phoenix's act. And, you have to love the ZZ Top look too.
Here's the trailer.
