The real debate this week has not been whether or not a disc-golf course in Austin, TX that creates one job is the very definition of pork barrel spending or an actual economic stimulus, but whether or not Joaquin Phoenix’s recent appearance on Letterman was Andy Kaufman-esque or further evidence of the true mental unraveling of a two-time Oscar nominated actor.
Last year, Phoenix rocked Hollywood with his announcement that he was retiring from acting to pursue a new career in music. It was widely assumed that Joaquin would follow in his Walk The Line footsteps and attempt to join the rock community. As it turns out, Joaquin Phoenix wants to become a hip-hop star. As the story grew more and more bizarre, we learned that brother-in-law (and Hollywood’s finest young actor) Casey Affleck will direct a feature-length documentary of Phoenix’s explosion into the hip-hop scene. Casey will be following his every move. Apparently, filming began at Phoenix’s first live gig in Las Vegas last month. But this gets even better. P Diddy has signed on to produce the album. Yeah, that’s right. Diddy. They’ve been spotted around town partying it up, big time.
Do we really think that Casey Affleck would take a sabbatical from acting, at his peak no less, to chronicle the breakdown of one of his closest friends? Nah. There is no way this is real. If Joaquin was truly losing it, Casey would know, and the most he could hope to gain by documenting it would to capture the demise and ultimate death of his wife’s brother. That would be pretty twisted.
I am thoroughly convinced that this is a hoax. And it is pure genius. This will be the greatest joke performed on the public at the hands of an actor… ever. Unless of course, Andy Kaufman is still alive.
