...cue the sappy music and roll credits, Joaquin Phoenix announced his retirement from acting some time last evening.
While being interviewed by Extra TV at the Paul Newman Benefit, Phoenix stated, "I want to take this opportunity... also to give you the exclusive and just talk a little about the fact that this will be my last performance as an actor... I'm not doing films anymore... I'm serious."
To tell you the truth, I've never jumped on the Joaquin Phoenix bandwagon. Sure, he's been nominated for two Oscars (2001 for "Gladiator," and 2006 for "Walk the Line"), but most of the films I've seen him in have left me wanting. I don't place blame on Phoenix's performance for these movie blunders, but I've never been able to detach him from the films.
Wait!
He was in "Quills"... that was incredible.
Best of luck, Joaquin! I hope you enjoy your musical endeavors.
