Joaquin Phoenix Retires From Acting. Does Not Retire From Being An idiot.

By George 'El Guapo' Roush on October 29, 2008
If you've ever been enamored with an actor and thought to yourself, "Hey I wonder if he's really a nice guy, or if he's a drugged out douchebag in real life?" then this question has been answered if you're asking it about Joaquin Phoenix.

In this video clip, an E! reporter is interviewing Joaquin Phoenix and Casey Affleck about something when a clearly stoned or drunk (probably both) Joaquin incoherently mumbles that he's retiring from acting to focus on music.

The stunned reporter then starts laughing (which I would do as well, because that shit is funny), when Joaquin asks him in his own drunk Joaquin tongue, "Whree u luffing ut me?" "Wha, wha dur ui mean?" before leaving the interview entirely.

Meanwhile Casey is just standing there like he ripped the smelliest fart in the world and doesn't know if he should move or not.  He also does the worst job possible in trying to cover up for Joaquin.

Remember, these are people who get paid enormous sums of money to play pretend, then wonder why they're ripped on when they go out in public and can't act like a normal human being for ten whole fucking minutes. And I can't wait for the musical explosion that sure to happen when Joaquin Phoenix revolutionizes the music industry.

Here's what that press release is going to say: "Joaquin Phoenix has taken the acting world by storm, starring in such hits as Gladiator and Spacecamp. Now he brings his talents to a music industry that has been begging for such an artist! With his hillbilly blues inspired sound twisted with a splash of rock infusion, Joaquin Phoenix is guaranteed to blow you away! Or you can just go purchase the Walk The Line soundtrack."

Have a good time watching this. I know I've seen it about four times already. See you in a few years Joaquin, when you realize nobody remembers you and your music career consists of you opening for Clay Aiken or Aldo Nova at the county fair.

When he was saying something like "cause its Cassey's time" I assumed he was going to follow it with "so I'm bowing out so he can have the spotlight he deserves" or something like that. I think he's a good actor. Perhaps underrated even, but if he would've finished that line with something like I thought he was going to say then yes he would've appeared as if he were quite full of himself.
um

a brilliant actor, but has some of the weirdest moments when being interviewed on the red carpet. he's actually not drunk or on drugs, but rather it's his game that he does with the reporters and such. he finds reportere from E!, Entertainment Tonight, Access Holleywood etc to be quite the boring types and so he just messes with them when they interview him.
meh...

Anyway, clay pigeons was the last good movie other than gladiator that this shitbag has even been in...all of the actors seem like douchebags..im special, if u laugh at me ill walk off and play by myself...well, lets see if anyone likes your music...your brother was just getting started when he shoot his life to hell..lets see what the hell type of demons are in the bottle for you..yeah, im sad that his brother passed away..but if you cant learn from watching ur brother hit the wall ..then your pretty much bound to join him..so, heres to ya and i hope that someone comes up to you and tosses you a commmon sense cap to put on because life isnt going to do ir for you..
