Joaquin Phoenix BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Joaquin Phoenix has been back in the headlines this week, drawing significant attention both for his past and his present. The most prominent recent moment was his guest appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert just a couple of nights ago. It was his first visit to the celebrated late night stage since that infamous 2009 David Letterman interview, the one which left both the audience and the public questioning his sanity and career choices. Phoenix addressed that legendary stunt head on. He openly admitted to Colbert that he deeply regrets how he handled the promotion for the fake documentary I’m Still Here, where he pretended to retire from acting to become a hip-hop rabbi. Joaquin confessed that as the ruse fell apart and the audience grew more perplexed, he felt obligated to keep up the act, despite knowing it was a flop. He simply said he was "so sorry" for what he now calls a “horrible” decision, finally closing the chapter on one of the most head-spinning promotional campaigns Hollywood has seen, according to IMDB News and Collider.
The headlines continued to follow him online, where a social media post from acclaimed makeup artist Colin Penman shared a behind-the-scenes image of Joaquin in his latest role as Joe Cross in Ari Aster’s much-anticipated satire Eddington. Film critics on RNZ noted that Phoenix stars as an anti-mandate sheriff in this sharp-witted take on the Covid-19 era, sharing the screen with Pedro Pascal and Austin Butler. Eddington is widely expected to influence award discussions and spark wider debate about the cultural fallout from the pandemic.
Alongside these new developments, Phoenix is still being celebrated for his past work. A virtual screening and live discussion of Walk the Line was held this week, focusing on his Oscar-nominated turn as Johnny Cash – an event hosted by Washington DC History & Culture and widely promoted on Eventbrite.
On the streaming front, Collider just highlighted the rerelease of The Yards, the little-seen crime thriller Phoenix made with Mark Wahlberg and Charlize Theron way back in 2000, now streaming anew on Paramount Plus.
Social media chatter has also picked up, with Instagram buzzing about his new film and TikTok creators referencing his Colbert appearance, while fan debates about his greatest performances continue to trend. As of now, there are no reports of significant new business ventures or controversies involving Phoenix. His week, then, has been a potent mix of career reflection, artistic reinvention, and reignited appreciation of his past brilliance—a reminder that Joaquin Phoenix remains as unpredictable and fascinating as ever.
