The expression "alpha male" is used a lot, and incorrectly. You want alpha male? Joaquim Phoenix when he went crazy a few years ago and abandoned acting and decided to pursue a career as a rapper was the epitome of alpha male. Sure, it was all an act to promote his documentary "I Am Still Here", but his acting as a crazed alpha male who let his beard grow, and started to look and talk like a late-stage alcoholic is the most alpha I have ever seen. Just look at how crazy he sings, walks, talks and boasts in this video. He seems like a Neanderthal drugged up from eating the wrong shrubs in the bushes or something. He looks like he has a salmonella infection. It seems like the salmonella went straight to his brain.
"I'm still heeeeeeeeeerrrrrrre..." ;D

What do you call a Mexican crossing the street?

I'm on the drugs that killed River Phoenix

Amazing actor. But that kinda backfired for him. Hillarious though. He had a lot of people thinking he went insane lol.
-
There's a segment in that film where he smacks his assistant around and then the latter waits until phoenix falls asleep and films himself taking a nice shit on phoenix's face, well funny!

Interesting to hear you guys comment without knowing what was really going on. He was fkd up 24/7 out of his mind embarrassing his wacko non-vegan hating family, who were terrified he was going the way of River. They came up with the idea of having Casey pretend to be making a documentary of him so he could be watching him all the time till he got through it. It was touch and go there for a while. In the end the called the whole thing a hoax and tried to make some money from it.

Its obvious hes acting in the documentary. All the way from his behaviour and the camera angles.
But do tell you're secret that no one knows. ::)
there always has to be One guy that pretends to be special and has "knowledge" lol.
U know Casey Affleck? there was rumors about this WAY before he went "nuts".

no shit.
i think the reason he said it was a hoax is because the whole idea sucked, not because there was some underlying cover up.
a great song with the very fucked up on drugs John Frusciante of chili peppers and river phoenix, johnny failcan approved:

I know the Phoenix's quite well.

Honestly it probably seemed like a pretty funny idea to begin with.
But combine that with what happened to his brother and I think people got Really worried. If he didnt have a brother that OD'd this would probably have been a shitload funnier.
I thought It was hillarious though. EPIC trolling even fooled "dr drew"

Did you sit next to one at a charity function?

Here is the weird interview where he fooled Letterman (He used the footage in his movie later on)
Here he comes clean and apologizes for making fun of Letterman and making him look like a fool :D
-
I don't even know why I'm bothering...
so, you believe that at the height of his popularity he decided to make a mockumentary and for 2 years straight he was so committed that he was appearing everywhere in "character", even at his mums parties where there were no cameras, with terrible b.o. asking if we were fkd up too. Well... he had me fooled.
you guys are so thick.

Joaquin Phoenix: True Alpha!

I think you greatly underestimate a true Thespian's committment to his craft. DeNiro put on 40 lbs for "Raging Bull". Bruno Ganz hired a speech therapist to teach him the accent of the Obbersalzberg area where Hitler was born for his role in "Der Untergang". Natalie Portman practiced twisting and did special exercises for hours a day for almost a year for her role in "Black Swan". Great actors are fanatically committed to making a role as realistic as possible.
Phoenix was hired to play the role of a multi-millionaire celebrity who is so alpha that he leaves everything to pursue his dream despite everyone ridiculing and criticizing him for his decision. This role required a famous actor because it was about exploring how the public and media reacts to celebrities. And no one played alpha male as well as Joaquim Phoenix. His stunt as a mad modern-day caveman who doesen't bathe and sings about telling people to go fuck themselves was the most alpha and most entertaining thing I have ever seen.
Do you think the alternative is more plausible? That Phoenix suddenly went crazy, left his multi-millionaire Hollywood paychecks for an uncertain career in hip-hop of all musical styles, let his beard grow to a degree that would scare an Al Quaeda recruitment officer, started to walk and talk like a late-stage alcoholic who also looks like he has several infections like toxicoplasmosis and salmonella, and then suddenly in a moment went back to being normal?

interesting interview, look how lean as fuck these junkies faces are. i guess its a slight morbid fascination of druggies; while drugs diminish the body the open up deeper end of life talents :( dude sings very well

tism, lol
havent heard that song in ages
Yeah cool song.
I also like Greg the Stop Sign, about that classic Brady Bunch episode.

Joaquim Phoenix tried to pull an Andy Kaufman but mainstream and interweb media didn't buy what he was selling. It ended up being a complete fail for the Phoenix camp. FYI I and most people believe is in a great actor. But he jumped the shark with the Kaufman like BS. Because Kaufman was clinically crazy and played us his whole life.
Kaufman +1
River Phoenix +1
Joaquim Phoenix -1

Well, his performance in "There Will Be Blood" is probably the best I have ever seen, being rivaled only by Bruno Ganz's as Hitler in "Der Untergang" or Lawrence Olivier as Crassus in "Spartacus", so he probably does study a lot for his roles. Or he is just supremely naturally talented. I don't know.
