Wow. I watched about half of it, but that was one strange first half let me tell you.
If it was for real, I wish Letterman hadn’t capitalized on it for laughs. This guy needs help.
I agree. He looks like he is having a Howard Hughes moment. I hope not.
It wasn’t for real, you could see Letterman was trying to get him to laugh and he almost did a couple of times.
You missed near the end when Letterman says “I’ll come to your house one night to chew gum” and Phoenix says, “I don’t have to chew gum” - takes it out of his mouth and sticks it underneath Letterman’s desk...
Maybe Joaquin Phoenix has forgotten who he really is.
John Cleese was on The Bonnie Hunt Show and told a story about Peter Sellers that was odd:
At minute 2:40
John Cleese tells a story about how Peter Sellers “had to find his own voice every morning”.
