We All Have Joaquin Fatiguenix, But Here He Is “Rapping” In A Movie

Whether or not Joaquin Phoenix genuinely retired from his acting career to pursue his love of being the worst rapper in the world, or whether it is all a big goof perpetrated by a bored millionaire with too much time and self-indulgence on his hands is becoming beside the point. The point is that this is exhausting. We have officially spent more time as a people talking about this than Joaquin Phoenix spent thinking about it, which is approximately five seconds. He spent five seconds thinking about it. In between doing shots of liquid gold with a Thai prostitute in the back of his private Carnival Cruiseship. Did you know that he had all of the staterooms turned into one giant jacuzzi that circumnavigates the whole ship, and that he insists on the chefs creating a midnight buffet for 2,000 passengers every single night. Two robots hold the limbo stick for him. Rich people are weird.

Anyway, we should be done with this, but why stop now. It turns out that in Phoenix’s “final movie,” James Gray’s Two Lovers, there’s a scene in which he improvises a rap. Is it proof that he’s for real? Is it proof that he’s for fake? What it is, is after the jump.
