Joaquin Phoenix recently attended a Paul Newman benefit, where he told Extra “This will be my last performance as an actor… I’m not doing films anymore.” It’s unclear which performance he meant. Maybe he was only acting like someone who cared about Paul Newman’s charities.
Extra further probed Joaquin. “Are you serious?” Phoenix, who was curiously being followed by his own camera crews, reiterated, “Yeah. I’m working on my music. I’m done. I’ve been through that.”
Actor Casey Affleck, present during the admission, tells Extra, “I don’t think he’s kidding. He’s got music and stuff.”
Today, “Extra” contacted Phoenix’s rep for clarification and got this response: “That is what he told me.” [Extra]
Being followed by camera crews, announcing his retirement after the death of a friend – I’m starting to think Joaquin Phoenix is the real-life Derek Zoolander. “That Joaquin Phoenix, so hot right now,” Skeet Ulrich whispers to Taboo from the Black Eyed Peas while the Phoenix theme music plays. Anyway, actors are idiots so it’s not surprising that he thinks he’s a musician because he played one once. Same thing happened to Jamie Foxx and Jennifer Lopez. Hell, Gary Busey’s been trying to kill Mel Gibson since ’87.
UPDATE: Now with video! After the jump, watch Joaquin slur through his announcement like he’s on painkillers and then abruptly walk out after accusing the reporter of laughing at him. Seems veeery fishy…

J-Phoe gots ill mic skillz, son.
I think he’s joining the Wu-Tang Clan under the moniker “Ol’ Dirty Harelip”
Asking Casey Affleck for conformation, is like asking a blind man if your clothes match.
I hope he’s not the lead singer. Harelips make you flat.
When reached for comment, Jokequeen was quoted as saying, “I jusht love playing muzchick right now. I’m really shtarting dishcover myshelf through the shoundsh and harmoneesh of shong.”
Maybe now that he’ll be a rock star, he’ll finally OD like his brother did.
Keep an eye out for his debut album, Joaq Hard.
Paulie. That harelip line was masterful, sir.
Mr. Joshua will get him. Just you wait.
30 Odd Foot of Lisp.
Joaquin Phoenix had better listen to his pal, Billy Zane.
I was watchin Gladiator last night and getting tingly in my happy parts when Joaquin was getting all humpy with his sister.
Then my sister walked in, I looked at her, and threw up in my lap.
Can anybody tell me if Jodie Foster still thinks she’s a 12-year-old prostitute?
Why did I just watch a clip of Jimmy Kimmel with some old bird in a showgirl’s dress sitting on the floor? Well, the video actually worked for a change, I guess I shouldn’t complain.
His first album: Joaquin The Line.
I feel like Charlie Brown with all the holes in the sheet. While everybody else can see the video, all I got was Cloris Leachman squirming on Jimmy Kimmel’s couch.
Crappy – Baracuda is a whore. I sent you another message to your junk addy.
Mark Wahlberg is also quitting acting to dedicate himself full time to looking like he’s concentrating really hard on not busting rhymes at people.
Phoenix will team up with Run DMC for the smash hit Joaq This Way.
J-Phoe hates the part in “Walk Like an Egyptian” where they start whistling.
Joaquin’s favorite instrument? Guitar. But, he can almost play the drums on medium now.
I feel like Charlie Brown with all the holes in the sheet. While everybody else can see the video, all I got was Cloris Leachman squirming on Jimmy Kimmel’s couch.
Sorry, it’s the right one now.
Jockqueen looks a lot like Cloris Leachman in that video, then again I’m getting up there in years and the old eyesight ain’t what she used to be-yesterday I saw a picture of a guy running for president and thought he was a negro.
holes int he sheet? What are you, an Orthodox Jew?
Listen to his first hit single: These Boots Are Made For Joaquin.
Did anyone else see a Dancing with the Stars video there?
When did Joaquin Phoenix become Cloris Leachman?
Joaquin sure fills out that yellow dress.
His first single: River’s all dried up
Joaquin’s debut album will be titled “JoaquinRolla”
Joaquin Phoenix and the Bass Clef Palats
JESUS CHRIST, I FIXED THE DAMN VIDEO! *lights self on fire and jumps out window*
“I feel like Charlie Brown with all the holes in the sheet. While everybody else can see the video, all I got was Cloris Leachman squirming on Jimmy Kimmel’s couch.”
Charlie Brown had all those holes in the sheet because he’d just got gang raped by a bunch of Orthodox Jews.
He didn’t walk out on because that guy laughed at him.
He walked out because that guy was from E!
If i didn’t know any better I would think Vince had a bone for the 60+ crowd. You can come clean hunny its ok.
Joaquin in Memphis, Joaaaaaaaaaaaaquin in Memphis
I get the correct video now – are you sure that was really Joaquin and not Ryan Dunn? Whoever it was, he’s obviously full of shit.
FUCK! PALATES! Fuckin’ facial deformities!!!
You Might As Well be Joaquin on the Sun!
Someone want to explain the Jew/sheet thing for me?
I don’t think Joaquin was high on painkillers; he wasn’t stumbling around. In fact when he walked out on that interview, you might even say he Walked the Line.
I recently started playing guitar, and now own two of them. I guess this means that this’ll be my last performance as a masturbator.
He’s also gonna branch out with a asian themed cooking show;
Wokin with Joaquin
Sure he talks the talk, but does he Joaq the Joaq?
I’m Joaquin on sunshine WOOOAAAA!
DocQuinn Medicine Phoenix was wearing a bitchin’ Chewbacca costume in that video.
Jesus, that guy really pissed off Danny Masterson.
Fuck you Jack. Walk the Line.
After killing and eating famous senior citizen Cloris Leachman for appearing in his video clip, Joaquin announced to the world that he was Glad-he-ate-her
Fekkie,
It’s alleged that Orthodox jews especially rabbis, when having intercourse, have a sheet with a hole between them because sex is supposed to be “unclean”. Just like women are not allowed in certain parts of Orthodox chuches and synagogues becasue they get periods.
He’s having his album release party at the Vipor Room.
His debut album with either be titled “I wish I was my brother” or “swing away” or maybe “that’s not how you spell or pronounce my name…FUCK”.
No matter what, I hope he plays live gigs. He seems like he’d be quick to start crying and run off stage pretty easily.
Johnny Galecki is not happy
Why does this clip feel like I’m watching an episode of The Hills?
When asked why he was leaving acting, he said “Movies are on their way out. If you just open your eyes, all the Signs are there.”
The Mighty Feklahr can’t help but think that the banner pic looks like Orlando Bloom and Kane Hodder had a deformed retarded fucking butt/turdbaby.
This just in: Joaquin Phoenix has joined Guns ‘n’ Roses.
This just in: Joaquin Phoenix has just left Guns ‘n’ Roses siting “artistic differences”.
“I lost the Footloose role to who? Fuck it, I quit.”
If I was Joaquin’s roady, instead of saying “sibilants…sibilants” during mic check, I’d just say “pointless…pointless….”
This will be my last performance as an actor
“And my first performance as a mime!” *quickly goes into trapped in a windy box pose*
Rotty: “sibilance”
Joaquin walked away from that interview because he had enough of that guys lip.
He looks like he needs to tell me about pederasts and be drinking a White Russian….
This is a Joax.
Joaquin would love to do a Got Milk? ad but he just doesn’t got the lip for it.
I’ve seen more convincing acting on the Sexual Harassment video you see at work.
ROLLIN’,rollin’, ROLLIN’, rollin’, ROLLIN’ ON THE SIDEWALK.
Is his brother still acting?
I haven’t seen anything with him in a while.
Fuck Gene Pool Party.
New up.
In related news, Richard Dreyfuss announced “I’m done with that acting shit. I’m really gonna focus on my shark hunting now. I got sharks. I really do.”
