Joaquin Phoenix Bombs While in Character for “I’m Still Here”
When David Letterman remarked Joaquin Phoenix had a different look, he was absolutely correct. Phoenix and Casey Affleck reportedly staged the appearance as a stunt for the movie I’m Still Here. Letterman didn’t hold back when he asked the actor about his experience with the Unabomber and made fun of him for chewing gum during the conversation.
The host even said, “Joaquin, I’m sorry you couldn’t be here tonight,” to sum up the entire interview. The star has since expressed regret for his strange actions, and their relationship has improved.
