Joaquin Phoenix: 'I Won't Ever Go Back To Acting'

Joaquin Phoenix is adamant that he won't be returning to the movie world.

As previously reported, speculation is rife that the former Hollywood actor's foray into rap music is an elaborate hoax, but Joaquin has once again quashed these claims.

The 34-year-old explains to Associated Press that he's not the type of person to go back on his word, saying: "I'm not one of those people, like, when I break up with my girlfriend, I don't ever see her again. I see her as friends, but do I ever think about getting back together? No, when I do something, I do it. So I have no intention."

Enthusing about the his genre of choice, the bearded star continued: "I love the storytelling aspects of hip-hop, but I love the word play, as well. I just think the rhyming is fantastic, and I love, like, the raw emotion of it."

Meanwhile, Joaquin was photographed at the JFK Airport in New York yesterday looking as scruffy as ever. You can see him below.

  • I think that Phoenix is just bored with the sanitised, repressed and uncultured situation of American television and the media per se - Letterman set the philistine tone with an opening joke about his beard, for god's sake. As if it were a crime to have a beard! We should remember the censorship of Bill Hick's on Letterman - not to mention the destruction of anyone who ever had an authentic voice - think of Lenny Bruce. Must we all be clones of boredom and fear?
