He was acting. He seemed to stifle laughing several times.
Yes. The cult was called "Children of God." The allegations included sanctioned sex with children. Some victims commited suicide; one of them created a video of his last days. Can't remember the title or source of the video. HollyWEIRD indeed.
I personally was amazed at how polite Joaquin was. Letterman mocked him from the gitgo. How many of us would like to be mocked on a national TV show for our appearance and our career aspirations? Letterman is a jerk.
If he couldn't act in movies, he's still be at the local McDonalds. But because he is an actor, we are supposed to follow his life and hang on every verbal utterance he makes.
A lesson from all this is money doesn't make you smart. I get so frustrated at people bringing up what some millionaire says, no matter what the subject, no matter how they made their money. Warren Buffet is called the Oracle from Omaha, but has lost about 40% of his companies money in a year or so. I would trust his judgment over what Cher says, but she gets a platform all the time.
But today, we are looking for "Signs" that he is not on drugs.

I think so too. After all, he is an actor. Acting like he did on Letterman would not be a stretch.
Also, I read somewhere that his brother-in-law, Casey Affleck, was there filming all of this. I think they are up to something.
Dunno if he is on drugs. Probably just a shy person. This article about previous appearances to flog his films is interesting:

IMO, that was no act...he must be introverted AND on drugs.
I don't think he was on any-he was twiddling his thumbs, and bouncing his leg that was crossed over his knee. I think he thinks he is going to be hip hop Borat.
I remember seeing an interview one time with an assistant to Freddie DeCordova , he of the Johnny Carson show. The topic was Johnny’s amazingly quick wit and retort, his ability to go out of the script. The man looked straight at the camera saying that if you think that most of that was ad- libbed, you’re nuts. There was very little of Johnny’s supposed spontaneity that wasn’t scripted or outlined with the guest before the show. Johnny had the best writers in the business. I would expect that David does too.
i think it was an act. His quiting acting to become a singer turned out to be part of a documentary. I think Letterman was in on it.
Based on the stories, this was the nicest thing that their parents ever did for them.
I wish he’d cut it out with the scruffy look.
He’s one of the best looking men I’ve ever seen.
Yes, all of you that think he is on drugs......
They would not have let him go on. His Manager would not have let him go on nor would the the Network.
Lighten up people; this is the type of humour that the young ones of today love.
LOL!!!
His actions reminded me of James Dean?
