Joaquin Phoenix BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Joaquin Phoenix has been making headlines recently with a surprising revelation about his personal life and continued involvement in political activism. In a rare podcast appearance on September 29th, the notoriously private actor seemingly confirmed his marriage to longtime partner Rooney Mara by referring to her as his "wife" for the first time publicly. During his appearance on Talk Easy with Sam Fragoso, Phoenix casually mentioned discussing his 2020 Oscars acceptance speech with "my mom and my wife," before clarifying that "Rooney was like, 'That's what you should say!'" The slip has sparked immediate marriage speculation, as the couple has been engaged since 2019 and are currently expecting their second child together.
This personal revelation comes alongside Phoenix's continued political activism, as he recently joined over 5,000 entertainment industry professionals in signing an open letter pledging to boycott Israeli institutions. According to KIOS, the September letter included Phoenix alongside prominent figures like Mark Ruffalo and Javier Bardem, demonstrating his ongoing commitment to causes he believes in. The letter represents one of the largest collective actions by Hollywood figures regarding the Israel-Palestine conflict.
Meanwhile, Phoenix continues to deal with fallout from his controversial exit from Todd Haynes' unnamed gay romance film earlier this year. While promoting his current projects, Phoenix has maintained his silence about the specific reasons for leaving the production, which reportedly cost the filmmakers seven figures and left crew members unpaid. The actor's departure from the explicit NC-17 rated film, which was ironically his own concept according to director Haynes, remains one of Hollywood's most talked-about production disasters of 2024.
Phoenix also recently opened up about his ongoing struggles with performance anxiety, admitting to GQ Magazine that he still experiences physical illness and profuse sweating during the first three weeks of any film shoot. The revelation provides insight into the intense personal cost of his acclaimed performances, with directors confirming his genuine nervousness often leads to vomiting before scenes. Despite over three decades in the industry, Phoenix deliberately avoids learning technical film terminology, maintaining an outsider's approach to his craft that has defined his unconventional career trajectory.
