Casey Affleck Finally Confirms That Joaquin Phoenix Documentary Is Fake
Posted on Fri Sep 17, 2010 07:30 AM PDT
We wondered if it might be a hoax, but since I'm Still Here was repeatedly billed as a documentary chronicling Joaquin Phoenix's pursuit of a rap career, we weren't sure what to make of it.
Director Casey Affleck has finally admitted that the whole thing was one big fake, and that Phoenix was acting the entire time. “It’s a terrific performance, it’s the performance of his career,” Mr. Affleck told the NY Times. “The reviews were so angry. I never intended to trick anybody. The idea of a quote, hoax, unquote, never entered my mind."
“There were multiple takes, these are performances,” Affleck continued, referring specifically to scenes that portrayed drug use and Phoenix involving himself with prostitutes. Affleck said he also had to convince Phoenix’s agent at WME Entertainment that he wanted Phoenix to act the part in public, but surprisingly he went along with it. "You would think he would have me killed immediately,” he joked.
But is this funny? Seems kinda lame to us! And you know Letterman's gotta be annoyed since Joaquin basically dropped a bomb on him!

It is impossible to fall out of love. Love is such a powerful emotion,onceit envelops you it does not depart. True love is eternal. If you think that you were once in love, but fell out of it, then it wasn't love you were in. There are no 'exit' signs in love, there is only an 'on' ramp.

reviews and rating of his career ..and
his brother had to come out and say this
Whyyy didn't he come out with this at the Venice Film Festival...Or is that is
why he did not come out at the Toronto
Film Festival...!!!! So phony director
telling him to hook up with prostitutes
makes you think that it was Phoenix that
should of cancelled this movie ...or say
that on the film poster..BTW BEN DOES NOT LIE LIKE HIS BROTHER DOES...NOTHING
