This is maybe the most awkward interview EVER.




If you missed this last night, Joaquin Phoenix stopped by The David Letterman show to promote his new movie. What happened next was television gold and one of the most awkward interviews in TV history. Dave tried for several minutes to get anything other than a one-word answer from Joaquin, and was pretty unsuccessful. It was an extremely painful interview to watch.

Upon first looking at the video, it's clear that Phoenix is out of his mind. He has recently quit acting to pursue a hip-hop music career, and he definitely appears to be on something pretty heavy. However, it is not that simple. Apparently, Casey Affleck has been videotaping Phoenix and his transition to rapper. But is this film a documentary or a MOCKumentary? You can watch the video and decide. I have to believe that is all a hoax...because I hate to believe that such a talented actor has fallen so far.

  1. I have to think that this is a Mockumentory. I have lots of respect for both Phoenix and Casey Affleck (his bro-in-law). I have to think that Casey would step in if he was truly losing it, not be filming.

  2. I totally agree. I just can't imagine that he would let him fall that far and film it.
