Joaquin Phoenix’s Bizzare Letterman Interview

This is just weird. Former actor, current burgeoning hip hop star Joaquin Phoenix made an appearance on Letterman last night to promote his final film, Two Lovers. He showed up looking like a mountain man in a nice suit, then things got weirder. He was either a) stoned or b) faking it really well. Check out the awkwardness and hilarity that ensued as Dave tried to get him going, then just made fun of him:

What do you think? Was his behavior genuine? Or just an act? And is he really retired from movies? Will he really start making hip hop music? Is he crazy, or just doing A LOT of drugs? Do you even care?
