Joaquin Phoenix serious about rap career, says rep

January 29th, 2009 // 39 Comments

Despite reports that Joaquin Phoenix’s rap career is an elaborate hoax for a documentary, his rep Susan Patricola sent the following statement to MTV News to set the record straight/basically admit her client is fucking batshit:

“The transition from one career to another is never seamless. It should come as no surprise to anyone that Joaquin came from a musical family, in addition to winning a Golden Globe for his portrayal of Johnny Cash,” Patricola wrote in an e-mail. “He intends on exploring his musical interests despite speculative, negative or positive reactions.”

Oh, Joaquin Phoenix won a Golden Globe for playing Johnny Cash. So by that logic, if Brad Pitt had won for Benjamin Button, he would’ve gained the creative license to age backwards. Jesus. Are you sure this was Joaquin’s rep who wrote this and not the guy he shoots heroin with inside a teepee?

    I don’t believe it for a second. This is right up there with Britney’s ‘no-really-i’m-a-virgin’ and Michael Jackson’s ‘these-are-my-biological-kids’.

    C’mon, Joaquin! Jokes up, be a good sport.

    LOL. I thought he was sexy in Walk the Line, We Own the Night, and a few others, and a good actor. I think he has a drug problem.
    Lol to the hole in his pants though.

    Watch the interviews with him,..Before and after his “Yeah I’m going to be a musican now” deal. He’s OBVIOUSLY acting. (too bad he’s not a good enough actor to be remotely convincing. On the spot without 100 retakes, a script and a cue card girl standing there he’s as bad as any d-rate soap opera actor.

    His Career was going dormant so this is a publicity stunt, there will probably be some crappy TV show or web site that uses this as their “Wow, we punkd those reporters and the crowds they never saw it coming! Yeah we’re underground! I’m Andy Kaufman!!” opening skit. (Looks like something stupid and poorly done enough to be on SuperDeluxe) to bad anyone with half a brain can see this is a bad spoof job.

    Epic fail on their part.

    Also all you fanboys, he was crap in walk the line, but Cash was suck a killer icon that you could make a movie about him with a chimp as the lead role and you’d win an award.

    And the obligatory HARELIP!

    Were it not for the coattails of his dearly departed brother (the talented one), this dork would consider himself lucky to have his cushy job unloading trucks on the Wal-Mart night shift.

    I don’t care what he does–I love him. And #25 don’t forget about Paris’ statement “I’ve only fucked a few guys” I would still let this guy go balls deep and swim in a pool of shit to toss his salad.
