Joaquin Phoenix Says He's Serious About His Music Career

Filed under: Joaquin Phoenix

Even though we're sure it's an elaborate hoax, Joaquin Phoenix is insisting that his burgeoning rap "career" is totally legit.

In an interview promoting his last film ever - Two Lovers with Gwyneth Paltrow - Phoenix said he doesn't know where the "art project" rumors originated.

He added, "Might I be ridiculous? Might my career in music be laughable? Yeah, that's possible, but that's certainly not my intention."

He then confirmed his delusions of grandeur be expressing regret over the video of his first stunning performance, saying that "It sucks that, yeah, the footage is out there as like this incredibly bad sound, and you literally can't hear what's happening. It was much better in the club, and I don't know who said that people were booing … because that was not happening."

He claims that "dudes" came up after the show to give him props.

What a beautiful imaginary world Joaquin inhabits! The beautiful world of Bye! Good!

      i say jokes on him.

      because i think he was expecting everyone to go ape shit over his "meltdown" like they did britney spears and he was going to tape it and show how silly the papz were buuuut in reality……no one cares or is paying attention that much and hes just making himself look stupid.



    13. 13

      Sigh. Whatever happened to Joaquin? He used to be so adorable, and is such a great actor. Now he's all crazy and lookes hideous with that awful beard.



    14. 14

      He's awesome. Music is such a big deal within his family. No one knows anything about him so of course he's hard to understand.

      Fizzling can happen if the poop is supercharged with bubbles of fart gas. After discharge from the body, the poop is in a lower pressure environment and it degasses. Fizzling is fun to watch and a favorite pasttime of many.



    27. 27

      who gives a cr@p? i want him to just go away and never come back.



    28. 28

      He is really taking people on a magic carpet ride and loving it.
      I will bet he is researching a movie role or just messing with people and loving it.

      ((((((( wet sloppy choco mOOn kiss ))))))))
      whoooooooooofukin hooo hoooooooooooooooooo



    30. 30

      He looks like some dude I saw on Intervention.



    31. 31

      he's obviously going through something, his fam and people need to reign him in before he does something really destructive.



    32. 32

      If it is real then he should take a step back and question why people aren't buying it. Could it be because he lacks the talent?



    33. 33

      ya know I think he is an amazing actor! But every picture shows him with a drink in his hand..and looking like bad news grunge. If you want to be taken serious as a muscian..how about acting serious about it. But then he most likely does not need to work ever again. SO i guess he think who gives a F***!



    34. 34

      He may say he's doing it for real, but why does he have a mic pack in his pocket in that photo?



    35. 35

      He's hilarious!



    36. 36

      First of all, WTF is up with the hat and his hair in the picture??? he looks like a homeless man, he really let himself go.



    37. 37

      Re: smokiedokie – i was wondering that too. wonder what he's filming in that shot.

      .

      remember back in the day when he was HOT? hate to tell him, but i think he might be in desperate need of a shower and a shave. the "homeless" look isn't in. ick.



    38. 38

      It's definitly a fucken joke. Google JT LeRoy if you cant understand this sort of humor. Joqauin is trying to be cutting edge, and he could have if he executed it better, ie, his performance in those videos at the club needed to be more serious, and that stage fall was such a set-up, did you notice how cued music started to play as soon as he fell off stage and nobody seemed concerned when he did? Yah, STAGED people.



    39. 39

      Liar liar I wish he'd set those pants on fire. The only way I'd believe him is if he didn't look like such a fucking asshole in all these pictures.



    40. 40

      I think he's still in character… can't wait for the movie!!



    41. 41

      This is absurd. But I do want to see his movie Two Lovers.



    42. 42

      He's an idiot.
      Regardless of whether or not he's serious with this he's so dumb.
      Stick to shaving and acting, fool.



    43. 43

      He's great! I can't wait to see where this goes!



    44. 44

      dude's a joke



    45. 45

      take a bath and pop a mint

    46. Hmmmm says – reply to this

      Who the hell is this turd anyway?



    47. 47

      He needs to take a shower!



    48. 48

      He needs to take a shower!!!!



    49. 49

      aww,
      this is killing me, it really is.
      what is going on?
      he was hotstuff before, but now he's just a joke.
      i miss you joaquin!!!!!!



    50. 50

      i hope he doesnt kill himself by ODing like his bro River



    51. 51

      he used to be cute…what happened????



    52. 52

      Joaquin: please see yourself from the outside, OK? If this is a joke, then it's not fucking funny and your "art project" is going to stink… And if you're serious, well, SHAVE, TAKE A SHOWER and TAKE SOME VOICE LESSONS. There's a difference between wanting to do something and actually being able to DO it. Where is the performer of "Return To Paradise"? Bring him BACK! Until then, you are losing respect and credibility from a lot of people, including myself.
