Joaquin Phoenix High on Letterman!
Holy sh*t this is insane!
Joaquin Phoenix went on The Late Show with David Letterman out of his mind on who knows what last night!
The Snort Walk the Line star is twitching, fidgeting and can barely even talk! I give David Letterman some major props, because he played off the train wreck appearance very well.
One of Letterman’s best lines to Phoenix was: “And here’s my hope that after some time off…and I think you’re taking some time off tonight, I’m hoping you’ll reconsider and come back to acting!”
At the end of the one-sided interview, Letterman signed off with: “And Joaquin I’m sorry you couldn’t be here tonight - we owe an apology to Farrah Fawcett!”
The first time you watch this video it’s hilarious and shocking. The second time, it’s sad! This dude needs help! This should be an anti-drug commercial. Say no to drugs kids!

I heard what happened was and act and that JP did it all on purpose for some movie his brother is doing. Think “Borat”-style.

This was so uncomfortable even to watch. I thought that JP made a fool of himself, but the audience was not forgiving! They kept laughing at him before he even had a chance to say anything. The whole thing was super weird!!

it’s hard to tell whether Joaquin Phoenix was faking it or not during that Letterman appearance, especially since he’s such a talented actor…

[...] The Boots Girls are still trying to make sense of Joaquin Phoenix’s train wreck interview on The Late Show with David Letterman and even though many believe he was pulling a Tony Clifton - we’re not buying it. [...]
