Say It Ain’t So, Joaqin!
Tell me it’s a lie. Tell me you’re not giving up acting!
Oscar-nominated actor Joaquin Phoenix made a shocking announcement to “Extra,” saying, “I want to take this opportunity…to give you the exclusive … that this will be my last performance as an actor… I’m not doing films anymore.”
Probed further by “Extra’s” Jerry Penacoli, “Are you serious?” Phoenix, who was curiously being followed by his own camera crews, reiterated, “Yeah. I’m working on my music. I’m done. I’ve been through that.”
Penacoli, still suspicious, followed up with Casey Affleck who was standing next to Phoenix. Penacoli asked, “I take it that he’s kidding?” Affleck responded, “I don’t think he’s kidding. He’s got music and stuff.”
Today, “Extra” contacted Phoenix’s rep for clarification and got this response: “That is what he told me.”
*sigh* Well, I guess I’ll have to look forward to his next music release instead hi next movie.

Well, Daniel Day-Lewis retired for a while, and he came back. Maybe Joaquin will return at some point, too. We can but hope.
