I think you’re opinions are wrong.

Minor Matters

My opinion or that of Rolling Stone?

JT

“I think you are opinions is wrong.”

I think what he might mean, is that it is wrong for you to be an opinion. You should be a person instead.

It is my opinion that you’re all wrong.

DaveDaNero

I think he could be in role to play Rick Ruben for the new RunDMC movie. He looks just like him. Am i right?

I think you’are opinions?

That’s what OPINIONS are. Like belly buttons Everybody has them…entitled to them.

I saw the interview and either thought he was “on” something or “off his meds”.

Hope he finds his way out of the fog.
Great Actor

I think the guy is a freak case and has issues. E interviewed him and he was offended when they were suprised he was retiring from acting. He is a great actor, of course people will be surprised. Why is he getting so defensive about it. The poor guy can’t sing…stay with your acting dude.

I wish we could get to the bottom of this. It concerns me and yet there is a chance it was an act. I don’t think so, but what an interesting, dark way to get attention. He may be laughing somewhere at all of the speculation. I agree, Dave was amazing at making it very funny.

Bethany Donovan

Your take on it shows that you really know little if anything about mental illness. “He’s out of skull” is such a bold and naive shock value statement. Joaquin wasn’t mentally balanced during the interview and it’s likely that he needs professional help, although exactly how much he needs is too personal to speculate about. Some people are more vulnerable to bio-chemical imbalances.For just a moment, imagine that someone who love and care about – your spouse, parent, sibling or child – started to act strange. Out of nowhere, you feel like the person you know is gone and has been replaced by a stranger – a rude, cold, negative and unpredictable stranger. I’ve personally experienced it and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. Joaquin shouldn’t have gone on Letterman or any entertainment show in his state of mind, but then, I’m guessing that he was pressured into it. He needs help. It doesn’t matter that he’s famous and that we don’t know him personally, he needs help and I hope that someone steps up and gets it for him.

Luke Anderson

Ok, I know this may sound somewhat contrived, but does anybody find it ironic that Joaquin is having this meltdown after his phenomenal acting performance (arguably his best) in Two Lovers, a movie based on Dostoevsky’s “White Nights”? For those who are familiar with Dostoevsky, after completing his greatest achievement, the incomparable “The Brothers Karamazov”, he had a similar precipitous meltdown in which he nearly drank himself to death. I don’t know if Joaquin is acting or he is actually engaging in self-destructive behavior, but I wonder if there is some intentional connection between his actions and Dostoevsky’s following their respective artistic masterpieces.

Sylvia

It’s no act – he’s on heroin. What a shame.

yeah

Tragic, after what happened to his brother.

Robyn

leave that guy alone, he just does what he want and he can afford it…not all of us are that lucky. why he should care what is the public opinion.

Julio

To be honest I couldn’t tell whether it was an act or real, but it does remind me a bit of some of the things Andy Kauffman (not sure if I’m spelling that right) use to do. It’s it borderline genius, of course that is considering that it’s a sham…

Babs

Yes, Bethany Donovan, you are right on. I think we all chuckled a bit when we saw the clip on Letterman, but my assessment is that he is manic. Letterman was cruel, but he probably thought he was drugged up and his cheap shots were fair game. I hope he gets professional mental help before he or someone else gets hurt. To Casey Affleck, turn the camera off and work on getting him help.

Kristi

It was so transparent when “Grandma Palin” crashed the interview, that she wanted to make sure she could get her two-cents’ worth in, and perhaps “correct” and of her daughter’s open and honest remarks. Unbelievable!

bob

that’s what I thought

Eesa

Snap out of it people. Turn those TVs off.
Try to remember what it was like to think for yourself.

Eesa

But it’s okay if I call everybody douches????
My point exactly..

Joaquin Phoenix at David Letterman

Marc Tonglen

Throughout my life I have been close to people who have are genetically pre-disposed to schizophrenia… Pheonix’s reactions and mannerisms on Letterman and other interviews replicate the interactions I have had with my friends who have fallen ill. If this is a joke, I don’t know what the joke is for, rather than to hopefully fund research into schizophrenia so that these people can find an outlet for their endless streams of hallucinogenic creativity… So that they do not become dangerous to themselves and to others. I hope I am wrong, because it is a painful disease and nobody deserves to feel that way. It would be much more light-hearted if this is a joke.

Jordan

It’s all an act, morons. Do you really think a person can change his entire personality and nature overnight like that? Aside from that, you can tell he’s trying his hardest not to smirk a couple times throughout. And if the interview really made him that uncomfortable, then why when it was over did he get up walk over to Dave, lift his sunglasses, shake his hand and begin talking with him…… As interesting as it would be to watch a complete meltdown of a talented actor, I’m afraid you’ve all been dooped.

MoViewer

Joaquin Phoenix appears to be continuing to play his character from ‘The Village’.

bob

you continue to be playing your character from “The Douche”

WhatRUTalkingAbout

There are some amazing therapists on here, you watch a five minute clip and now these people are diagnosing a celebrity who is making a publicity stunt, give me a break, diagnose yourselves

actors come on the show when they have movies coming out to build publicity for the movie, they’ve been doing it for decades now, that’s why they come on these talk shows, what’s so hard to comprehend about that?

acrosstheuniverse

Ofcourse It’s a hoax. He’s a brilliant actor who is taking his art further and not breaking his character even on interviews and talk shows. You guys are morons if you think he’s having a mental breakdown or on drugs

righton

You can’t be sure it’s a hoax. Some people do lots of drugs, and some people have mental disorders. Do any of you personally know him? Ahno. Leave room to be a little worried and hope the best for him if, in fact, he does need help.

richard scary

i love you joaquin, and i wont ever judge you, be who you want to be xx

peachey

it’s a funny interview. who cares whether it’s real or not. if his behaviour were genuine joaquin surely is resourced well enough to get the help he needs. there are so many more serious and way more important things in the world to be concerned about right now.

plus i can’t believe how many self-appointed ‘mental health professionals’ there are who have made a diagnosis based on a 5 minute television interview!

Lauren

I just read an online interview with dr. drew, whom his professional opinion I value greatly. He said he is clearly intoxicated either with drugs or alcohol. His speech is slurred and his motor skill are obviously slowed. This doesnt seem like a joke to me. It might have started out as one but i think he got way into character and now has a problem. He’s had alcohol problems in the passed. The whole incident of River dying in front of him was probably never addressed. You can only bury something for so long before you have to deal with it. God help his soul that his family doesnt go thru the same pain they did when River died.
