He’s insisted his new look and career goals are no hoax, but a shaggy and soft-spoken Joaquin Phoenix seemed like the only one in on a private joke during an awkward appearance on Wednesday’s Late Show.
In New York to promote Two Lovers, costarring Gwyneth Paltrow, the actor offered minimal responses as he chomped on gum during host David Letterman’s goading questions.
The elliptical exchange drew lots of laughter from the audience – and a few vague smiles behind dark sunglasses from the star himself as Phoenix kept up the act.
“I don’t know what will happen,” Phoenix mumbled when asked about turning away from his Oscar-nominated career. “Hmmm … I don’t know. It’s not really easy to explain something that’s been a part of my life for a long time and now is not.”
He did say that he’d like to return to Letterman’s show to perform some of his hip hop music.
