He may need attention, but lets face it, actors cant do anything else because it may require real work. All these morons come to LA thinking they are special only to wind up back in small town USA as a total loser. Unless you are born into the business or are jewish you might as well accumulate vacation time at your home town McDonalds because anyone who does not know this already is in for a very unhappy reality. Oh you can be a coke whore too, I forgot...Kidman...this little hairlip pussy will be back.
Paul Newman left Hollywood in favor of devoting his life to charity work after he realized he had enough money and Hollywood sucks. Joaquin is either following in Paul's footsteps, or he's going to play Paul Newman in a movie.
I love Joaquin and have missed him since "Walk the Line". I wouldn't mind seeing him do something else though, like directing or producing. Can he even do that?
Cheese slipped off his cracker? That's classic, #6. Very nice.
And it's OK, Kenny. You can say fuck here. Fuck, fuck, fuckity fuck fuck. Unless you fucking well meant fack. Fack works too.
Personally I don't think he's that great. From what I've seen of him, anyways. Come to think of it, the last thing I saw him in was Gladiator. Maybe that's not enough to form a complete opinion...so let's just say based on what I've seen so far he doesn't strike me as hot shit.
Feel free to think he's deep if you wish. Let's just hope he doesn't drown himself in a shallow pool of Southern Comfort.
I believe he said he'd be focusing on music; so I guess that pesky problem of how is attention craving will be satisfied is a non-question. I hope he doesn't quit acting because he is so talented, but who wouldn't want out after a while. Hollywood sucks.
Retire? Then do what? Whittle wood and tells stories about the "old days?"
Look, I have a tremendous amount of respect for Joaquin, as I find him to be an amazing actor akin to actors like John Malkovich, Kevin Spacey and Jack Lemmon. But c'mon, this is just self-serving and annoying. Maybe he's trying to up is hiring price, who knows. Whatever the case, I truly hope he does not quit acting. He's one of the few reasons I still go to the movies.
I don't really think its bullshit. Doing Walk the Line really fucked him up hardcore. He's got a tendancy to get way too involved in his movies and actually pick up the habits of the characters that he portrays - Remember? He went to rehab after doing Walk the Line because he developed Cash's problem with alcohol and drugs. I've always felt sorry for him because of River Phoenix and all...its kind hard not to be a bit crazy after something like that....

I'd agree with that. Not to be all maudlin or dramarama, but everybody in my family became completely psycho after my sister dropped dead. (Except me. I'm fine.) Plus they were all nuts to begin with because their parents were screwed up hippies. I had normal, God-fearing, Republican parents, damn it! They saved me from Hollywood! Now if you'll excuse me, my shift at McDonald's starts at 7, and I have to scrape the grease off my visor before I leave the house.
Fuck him!!!! Rich prick gets pissed off and walks away from the interview because the interviewer calls bullshit on him retiring. He's so misunderstood and troubled that he can only express himself in music now? What a fucking douchebag. All these fucking actors think they're so talented. They are nothing but a bunch of lucky right place at the right time cocksuckers. Plus, if it wasn't for this shithead's older brother actually earning his acting roles on his talent as child actor, this whining shit-eater would be hustling blow jobs in bus depots for pocket change.
It looked from the video that he might have been high on some variant of narcotics. If so, you can't take his words to mean anything. He seems like he has bigger problems than the potential termination of his acting career.
#10 do your homework if you're going to bash someone! Hew as NOT born with the name Leaf! Joaquin is his given name! But as his siblings all had more "earthy" names, he wanted to follow suit, so HE made the choice to change it to Leaf! That was back when he was in the movie Parenthood! But Joaquin is his birth name!
Man people, know your stuff or STFU!
Joaquin is VERY talented and his discipline is outstanding! If he wants to follow a career in music, who the hell are any of you to judge? Let the man follow his heart and do what he feels is best for him!
Methinks Jo up there at 7:06:50 might be short for Joaquin...
Who else would defend him so vehemently except himself??
And it's all fine and dandy if he wants to retire..personally I think the acting world can take the loss..but it seems to me he just wants attention or maybe he would have just quietly faded off into the scenery...don't announce you're retiring, just do it and never be seen again..
It's like suicide...don't threaten to kill yourself..that's just an attention grabber..just surprise everyone and do it..
lame - he's not retiring. that was lame improve acting... and casey affleck didn't help in the performance. and please, like the guy would announce his retirement in that way. don't you think his publicist would just issue a press release if that were the case? you folks are gullible.
Joaquin does not crave attention. He clearly hates that aspect of his job. The actors who are truly into the craft are usually like this - Johnny Depp comes to mind.
He actually is talented in many other ways. He directed that amazing video for the band She Wants Revenge, and I am sure he is musically gifted as well.
Loved him in Walk the Line. Think I even fell a bit in love with him as Johnny. Hope he returns to the big screen, precious few males do it for me. He does.

I need a Pharoah to do my Christmas shopping. Will he pay too?
By 789, on October 29, 2008 09:03:54
Yeah, well as soon as his tummy starts rumbling and his eviction notice gets nailed to his door I'll be seeing Walk the Line 2 in a theater near me..
He was raised in that wacky sex with kids cult so I guess his cheese slipped off his cracker many moons ago...
By anonymous, on October 29, 2008 09:44:56
i've always found him to be an amazing actor as much presence as robert downey jnr.
real deep f@cking deep.
By ken, on October 29, 2008 09:55:02
didn't he OD on heroine a couple years ago?
oh, sorry...that was the talented sibling.

Good, now take a shower and get a real job, loser.
By BarbadoSlim, on October 29, 2008 10:16:52
If you were born with the name "Leaf" and you decided to change it, would you change it to "Joaquin"?
I didn't think so.
I suspect he's in character for his starring role in the upcoming biopic "Vincent Gallo: WTF?"

He can be a cutie in a weird way when he's cleaned up, not how he looks now! He was sexy in Walk the Line.

The wrong Phoenix brother died.

Ah, I'm Jewish and I'd probably be paid a lot more working at McDonald's back home in Jersey.
By thebig28, on October 29, 2008 12:18:04
Is he starting up a band? For some reason he looks very Jim Morrison...
If his older brother, River, hadn't overdosed...ever wonder who would have been the better actor? River or Joaquin?
By cinco, on October 29, 2008 12:21:16
Is he high or drunk or something? Why is he slurring?
By Vicky, on October 29, 2008 12:22:24
Charity work. Give me a break. More like tax shelter.
He is actually a good actor and doesn't run his mouth every 5 minutes.

I'm surprised no one has commented on how staged this looks...
By JP, on October 30, 2008 03:24:20
Eh, was he drunk? High? He talked like he was sedated and reacted pretty strange to the reporter, like he was "drug serious" or something.

Can somene say...WASTED?
He sounded like the drunk hobo that walks up and down Main Street muttering to himself.
By anonymous, on October 30, 2008 10:08:50
That was probably the least convincing acting I have ever seen out of Affleck or Phoenix.

Joaquin does not crave attention. He clearly hates that aspect of his job. The actors who are truly into the craft are usually like this - Johnny Depp comes to mind.
He actually is talented in many other ways. He directed that amazing video for the band She Wants Revenge, and I am sure he is musically gifted as well.
By anonymous, on October 30, 2008 18:14:10
