Joaquin Phoenix, star of Walk the Line and two-time Academy Award nominee, announced a few months back that he was retiring from acting to focus on his music career. Last night, Phoenix was on David Letterman to promote one of his final films, Two Lovers, that was made a few years ago, but is only now being released.
Phoenix was unresponsive for part of the interview, while giving one word answers for other questions. The audience's nervous laughter obviously anger's Phoenix at times, and some of Dave's responses are classic, including ending the interview with, "Joaquin, I'm sorry you couldn't be here tonight." - HAHA!
Was it a joke? Was he on drugs? Whatever the reason, it was awkward to say the least, but don't have to take my word for it, check out highlights (or lowlights?) of the interview here.
