Joaquin Phoenix: How Not to Do a Job Interview

I think he is in a downward spiral this is not a laughing matter. Dude needs help!

I love his movies and all the work he has done. I can watch them over and over again. Obviously he is having some issues with something we all know. Even though he is making the choices that he is that can never take back all the good ones he has had. Go and try and do a music career, which one of the other stars that have tried this have had a big career unless they have started with all the above first.

I still love his acting, His movies have been an inspiration and great. Let him try something else. Just hope he does not go over the edge like his brother. I think someone should help him, not laugh at him so we do not lose another wonderful actor and human being......
