Actor Joaquin Phoenix shaved and clean up for his appearance on the Late Show with David Letterman on Wednesday (September 22), a year after his caveman character for the “documentary” titled “I’m Still Here” created one of the most awkward moments on TV (watch video below).

Joaquin apologized to Dave for his behavior and admitted that he was simply playing a character. Dave also wanted people to know that he was caught by surprise and he was not a part of the big hoax created by the actor and director Casey Affleck.

“I mean, I think that you’ve interviewed many, many people and I assumed that you would know the difference between a character and a real person,” he says about the now-infamous 2009 interview, in which a gum-chomping, mumbling Phoenix barely answered Letterman’s questions. “I hope I didn’t offend you in any way.”

“Oh, no. Oh, no, no, no,” Letterman told him. “I’m telling you, it was so much fun. It was batting practice, you know what I mean? Every one of them was a dinger.”

“Was there a script that you and I were working with?” he asked Phoenix, who flatly responded with, “No.”

Poor Dave! The CBS late night show host seriously had no clue about what was happening when Joaquin showed up with a bedraggled beard and sunglasses for the infamous interview. Check out Joaquin’s “I’m Still Here” Letterman interview HERE.

Actor Joaquin Phoenix basically lost one year of his life to film a completely fake documentary, “I’m Still Here: The Lost Year Of Joaquin Phoenix”, about his downfall and spiritual journey while trying to launch a rapping career (watch trailer below).

The “mockumentary”, directed by Joaquin’s brother-in-law Casey Affleck, will be distributed by Magnolia Pictures and hit theaters September 10, 2010. You know this is going to be a total flop, when the voice-over starts talking about “unique drops of water” sliding down the mountain. Blah!

The Truth About Joaquin Phoenix’s Master Plan To Fool Us All

Casey and Joaquin probably just wanted an excuse to not work and get rid of the wives to go on an adventure, including ridiculous behavior and sexual harassment. Seriously. This whole documentary is ridiculous! Joaquin isn’t even believable as a fallen star who hit rock bottom.

Troubled actor turned rapper, Joaquin Phoenix, looks worse than ever arriving at LIV Nightclub in Miami yesterday. An oblivious Joaquin reportedly arrived four hours late to perform and when he took the stage an audience member kept pushing him till the actor lost his cool.

An enraged Joaquin, sounding a little more coherent than in recent times, announced: “We have a f***ing b**** in the audience.

Nodding his head while rapping to a beat, he told the man: “I’ve got $1million in the bank. What have you got b****?”

Joaquin ended up launching himself into the crowd and engaging into a fight with the heckler while the crowd screamed “beat him up, beat him up”. Security escorted Joaquin out of his own gig but the whole incident seems a little suspicious to me.

Ironically Joaquin’s brother-in-law, Casey Affleck, was once again there filming everything. Casey has been documenting Joaquin’s crazy new career and behavior fueling the rumors the 34 year-old actor is trying to pull a major stunt. Yep, the joke is on us!

Actor Joaquin Phoenix has been trying to fool us all with his temper tantrums, erratic and bizarre behavior after he announced to be retiring from his acting career to pursue a rapper career. The truth is Joaquin is carefully planning all this to sell it as a documentary. Cha-Ching! Smart. Genius!

“Joaquin wanted this, of course he knew (about the parodies) because it’s all part of a very strategic plan,” said our inside source. “He is selling it all as a documentary not about his musical career but the whole issue of public persona. It’s all a big joke and he’s not pursuing rapping seriously no matter what he says.”

Everything from his retiring act to his insane appearance on David Letterman is just another way to have people talking about him and more importantly making fun of him. Even Ben Stiller’s amazing performance at the Oscars was just another part of Joaquin’s plot.

“Ben (Stiller) was just going along with the joke that Joaquin started,” added our insider. “He wasn’t poking fun at him, there are no hard feelings.”

Do you believe this is all a big joke, probably the biggest stunt in Hollywood history or are you seriously concerned about Joaquin Phoenix’s mental health??

The highlight of evening at the 81st Annual Academy Awards was when Ben Stiller, accompanied by Natalie Portman, portrayed the freaky totally oblivious Joaquin Phoenix.

Whatever is happening to Joaquin is worth just to have Ben spoofing it! Besides Joaquin is funnier and more interesting right now, unfortunately he wasn’t at the Oscars to see Ben say: “I just wanna retire from being a funny guy” and Natalie reply, “You look like you live in a Hasidic meth lab.” Maybe if Joaquin had seen this, something might have clicked and he might have snapped out of it.

Gwyneth Paltrow and Joaquin Phoenix attended the screening of their new movie “Two Lovers” at the Landmark Sunshine in New York. Gwyneth looks amazing (can’t believe I’m saying it!) but those clothes are disastrous! Horrible! The good news is Gwyneth doesn’t wear much clothes in the movie (Gwyneth Paltrow Bares Breast in ‘Two Lovers’).

What can we say about Joaquin Phoenix?? What the hell happened to him?? He is completely insane, possibly drunk and high. Joaquin is said to be retiring from acting to pursue a rap music career!! SERIOUSLY?? I was never a big fan of Joaquin but he used to look kind of cute… now the homeless Unabomber look is freakin’ scary!!

Have you seen what Dave Letterman did to Joaquin when he dropped by?? It was hilarious!! LUV Dave!! Watch Joaquin Phoenix on David Letterman Video HERE>>

Here is the much talked about video of former actor/current rapper Joaquin Phoenix on ‘The Late Show’ with David Letterman. Joaquin is either stoned, in a semi-coma or on some heavy drugs that encourage ghastly Amish dressing and grooming. I feel as if Dave was a jerk with him, especially if Joaquin is battling some serious demons. Dave was funny, but I believe he should have been more sensitive in dealing with a guest who obviously is battling something strange, weird or both.

Joaquin Phoenix was at one time one of the hottest actors in Hollywood. Films like Signs, Ladder 49 and Walk the Line made him a household name, and his mysterious look made him the guy every girl wanted. He’s been pursuing a music career now, which I guess has turned him into a complete bum. He and Casey Affleck hosted a night at LAVO nightclub in Vegas, and Joaquin looked really rough to say the least.

He sported a ripped knit cap with hair poking out, droopy grey jeans and a t-shirt that barely covered his protruding beer belly when he raised him arms. This beard that he’s grown is a good three inches long and makes him look homeless. Seriously… the man his millions and he can’t break out a trimmer or some decent clothes? He’s barely recognizable as the hottie he was once, and it makes me really sad!!
