Joaquin Phoenix’s Bizarre Appearance on Letterman [Some changes are afoot]
Posted by Mavrik | Filed under Movies & TV
Okay boys and girls in case you missed Joaquin Phoenix’s strange visit to David Letterman, here are a bunch of videos to bring you up to speed. Essentially the man was a Big Lebowski-esque zombie on the show (I’m thinking drug/alcohol induced) with slurred speech and just all around generally out of it. This originally made me think it was some kind of publicity stunt until I saw the last time he was on Letterman and was very energetic (video included of this as well). From there you can essentially follow Phoenix’s downturn on YouTube. But first, the video from the Late Show.
Late Show – Where’s Joaquin Phoenix? – 2/11/09
Phoenix has recently announced that he is leaving the movie business to pursue his hip hop career. From there came the beard and I guess the slurred speech with it.

And now for the Joaquin Phoenix we all know and love from 3 years ago:
This is a really sad thing to see. I really liked him as an actor and thought he had a really bright future ahead of him. But now it looks like he really just has no plans on fulfilling that.

Who the heck is he kidding?! He’s TOTALLY spaced out on drugs. Jeeze, it was almost hard to watch that Letterman video. I don’t know if he noticed it or not, but everyone was laughing AT him, not with him…
He needs help. David Letterman was borderline cruel. I take that back — he WAS cruel. =(
Yeah. I agree. His reactions were really not funny enough for people to just laugh at him. He obviously knew what was going on and it was unfair of Letterman and the audience to disrespect him like that.
Yeah Letterman was cruel, but I think he had reason to be. Especially because he said “we owe Fara Faucet an apology.” I’m sure he was thinking something like “wow we kicked her off the show for this idiot?”
