Casey Affleck Speaks Out About Joaquin Phoenix

What happened to Joaquin Phoenix? That’s a question lots of people have asked, and whether you feel he’s has a real change in his life or if this is merely a gigantic publicity stunt, one thing is for sure… Phoenix has been a little weird lately.

Now, Casey Affleck has spoken out about the last year of Joaquin Phoenix’s life and the “documentary” that he has made of that year of the former actor, now turned rapper. The film is called I’M STILL HERE: THE LOST YEAR OF JOAQUIN PHOENIX and is currently looking for distribution.

Anyone who watches TV is surely aware of Phoenix’s most recognizable moment of weirdness lately, when he appeared bearded and shaded on the LATE SHOW with David Letterman. It was one of those “What the… this can’t be for real” moments.

Well, according to early reports from west coast sources who’ve seen the film and the interview with Casey Affleck on ABC News Now’s Popcorn with Peter Travers, the film contains some things that may just make you believe, without a shadow of a doubt, that I’M STILL HERE is either a BORAT-style mockumentary, or else Joaquin Phoenix truly has blown a fuse.
