When Joaquin Phoenix quit acting I was disappointed. I enjoyed pretty much everything he has been in, so it was upsetting that he would be stepping away from the camera. I wonder what he has been up to lately?
Well it looks like we will have a chance to see what he has been doing. His career change is going to be the subject of Casey Affleck’s personal project.
After Phoenix announced his retirement from acting people assumed it might have been a joke. Then he took the stage in Las Vegas and performed his act in front of a crowd. It was a stumbling, bumbling lackluster performance to say the least. And once it was over Phoenix fell off the sage and into the crowd.
Now it appears his apparent decent into madness might actually be a huge hoax or as I like to look at it, true method acting. Especially now that we know Joaquin’s brother-in-law, actor/filmmaker Casey Affleck is making a film documenting Phoenix’s career change.
Phoenix appears to be having a breakdown of Britney proportions but with only himself to embarass he isn’t getting a lot of attention for it. Check out that picture above. Clearly he wrote this on his fists without thinking about how that was going to work out. Positively brilliant.
I really hope that he sees this as a learning experience and actually focuses on succeeding at something other than fist decorating (that still needs work) but hopefully he will get back to acting.
Do anything you want Joaquin, just do it right.
