This is why a lot of actors do not get on talk shows. Perhaps the worst interviewee ever on Letterman, it was almost as if this was a comedy act. Watch it soon because CBS is taking down all the uploads it can find. It will be removed when it is killed. It should remain overnight I think.
Jason Baker found one of these for me.
Who’s Joaquin Phoenix?

Obviously, one of the guys in the interview. In fact it’s the guy Letterman introduces as Joaquin Phoenix. As a CEO, I expect you to glaze over details and look at the basement larder from 10000M….
not sure about his rap career…

Wow. That was weird clip!
#16 I did read the article. Thanks. We’ll see !
Still, he dd a marvelous job on Gladiator! One of my all time favorite movies.
Letterman got played Andy Kaufmann style.
# 19′s link is malware!!
OK, I am convinced it is a put-on. Still, you have to admit that the crazy self-destructive gene runs in his family.
Watch him carefully, he starts to laugh a few times and catches himself. Letterman was trying hard to get him to break, and he did start talking a lot more. Whatever he’s doing, it’s entertaining.
I find it strange that so many people think this is real. Not just on this site, but on many sites. It seems like some people want to believe this is real. Maybe it’s some sort of envy, “he’s handsome, rich and successful, but he’s crazy.” Or maybe people need a new “crazy fix” now that the Christian Bale thing is getting old. Or maybe people just don’t have that much experience watching actors.
To me, there’s an obvious difference between Joaquin’s appearance and say Farrah Faucet or Courtney Love. I can’t help but think people are fooling themselves into thinking this is real.

Almost… I find that most hollywood watchers don’t actually KNOW acting as an art but as a thing beautiful people do on the big screen or TV with very predictable results and settings. Anything beyond that is “wacky”.
Acting? Not-Acting? who gives a rats behind. Being an asshole and acting an asshole are indistinguishable.
#31 Bah humbug. I thought it was funny and entertaining.
In fact so much so that it made it here and everyone’s talking about it.
Mission accomplished.
# 26 sitman said, “# 19’s link is malware!!”
Yep. Something trying an I Frame exploit runs.
“Being an asshole and acting an asshole are indistinguishable.”
So if an actor plays a character that is an asshole, the actor is an asshole? It seems you have a problem distinguishing reality from “make believe”.
#31 is correct.
I agree with #14. The real clencher for me was at the end when Dave said, “sorry you couldn’t be here tonight.” and Joaquin almost laughed.
No.19 should be taken down and banned.Slimeball S.O.B.
Editors. Please remove link at post #19 and ban IP address of poster.
Thanks.
Letterman is the late night talk guy I hate the least. I can’t stand any of the rest and don’t understand why the genre is so popular.
#19 DIEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
