Joaquin on Letterman last night:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXpYk7WGN5Y&fmt=18
(the complete interview here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zAQ4x7rgS6I&fmt=18 )
Some people are saying this is all an act for a mockumentary he's doing, others maintain he's always had a substance abuse problem and this is just him losing his mind.
I've always thought he's a bit eccentric, but this seems like it's a little too over the top to be real.

I thought it was awesome. My vote is Andy Kaufman. He obviously doesn't care about his career. (not that something like this would hurt such an amazing actor) So now is the perfect time to have some fun with people.

100 percent Kaufman, and I fcking love it. Absolutely love it. Hollywood takes itself so seriously, and so many people are taking him at face value, it's killing me. I've never been a big Joaquin Phoenix fan before this, but his appearance on Letterman has just sealed the deal for me. He's a genius

I've always liked him and for some reason I love it whether it's real or not.
It really took a tall one to see it, two to believe it, three to just get in the way.

Kaufman, no doubt.
Although stuff like this makes me wonder sometimes whether he's all there or not:
How the fuck do you misspell your own first name?

I think he's got issues but is probably playing it up cause he's enjoying it. Call it fake, call it real, whatever... I think he's just tired of the whole hollywood scene but at the same time is enjoying everyones reactions.

I would think this is genius except for the fact that he grew up in a sex cult, and the people that have come out of that are insane to at least some degree. They also tend to manifest that pain in creative ways such as music. So I would believe anything when it comes to Joaquin Phoenix.

Updated the OP with the full 10 minute interview that was taken down. No idea how long it'll stay up this time.

Well not exactly. I only know what happened to the girls in that cult, but I can't imagine it was much different for the little boys.

Okay, him being a genius, him being insane, and this being a joke aren't all mutally exclusive. Andy Kaufman was bat shit crazy, but also a genius.

I agree, just saying that if he's serious it wouldn't surprise me at all b/c he is crazy. Definitely could be genius, b/c if he is joking it is genius, in addition to being crazy. I don't know if I said what I wanted. Oh well.

I'm sure its a level but I wouldn't bet my house on it.
I don't get to see Letterman an often lot but it seems like a tightly run ship. I doubt if he was serious he would have ever been let on.
