Not so long ago, Joaquin Phoenix grew a beard that was so large it could easily house a family of medium sized eagles. He embarked on a so called hip-hop career and generally just went bat shit crazy. Some speculated that he lost his mind, personally I got an Andy Kaufman vibe off his persona. And that’s what it was, apparently. Not long after his appearance on Letterman (which you can check out down below) rumbling’s started that Casey Affleck was directing him in some documentary type thing…about growing beards or something. So, the movie is coming out Stateside on September 10th and who knows when here, but here’s the poster for it…
And here is the infamous interview on Letterman, which if you’ve never seen it, is a joy to watch! And if you nose around youtube there are plenty of other beardy clips one which involves the beardman take on someone in the crowd and some gig he’s doing. And I’ve provided that as well. Either way the whole thing screams of Andy Kaufman, which is a good thing!!!
