Joaquin Phoenix is an incredible actor. They lead with his name for a reason.
He and his brother, Phoenix, came from a family of performance artists who were tied up in a Christian cult and lived in Cuba if I recall correctly.
They fled both. Joaquin watched his brother die of a drug overdose while they were clubbing (in 1993). He’s never fully recovered from the grief. He suffers from severe depression.
He and his wife recently (2020) had a baby and named him Phoenix.
Don’t like his political stance here, but I do appreciate his talent.
Brothers name was River I believe.
He certainly wasn’t good in Napoleon.
