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.
IMO, that was no act...he must be introverted AND on drugs.
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 wish he’d cut it out with the scruffy look.
He’s one of the best looking men I’ve ever seen.
His actions reminded me of James Dean?
I theorized that Phoenix hadn’t had time to groom, had popped a zit and just came up with that ingenious disguise as Plan B. - He’s obviously a good actor and mostly avoided cracking up at some of the stuff Letterman said in his casting about to actually interview Phoenix. - It was interesting and not the usual star preening for the camera and talking up his new movie.
Loved him in GLADIATOR.
It was an act. They were both acting. Why? Who knows. Publicity probably.
lmao
