I know we discussed this topic lightly on the 'Walk the Line' thread, but I thought I'd further it.

So my question is, how can someone go from this. (Being handsome, friendly, and just a little bit of a tortured look in his eyes.)

To this. (Absolute mess.)

And just incase you haven't seen his (now infamous) Letterman interview, here's the link.

So, what the hell happened, Joaquin? :confused3
 
I use to think he was so hot!

Now he's just...gross.
I have no clue what happened to him.
 
I still refuse to believe he's being legit. I just keep telling myself its a prank..
I'll be so sad if its for real, he is such an amazing actor!
 
Paula, I agree.
I seriously think it's all for some project, just to see how everyone would react.
I don't think it's for real.
 

I usually don't jump straight to drugs when discussing someone wacky, but I gotta say. He looked really messed up in that interview, I felt bad for him. David Letterman didn't help anything, he was really rude (but I understand, he needed the ratings). Obviously Joaquin was in no shape to be on national TV.

I doubt the rapping thing is legit, I just have no clue what's going on. The world is upside down.
 
That interview seems like such a joke..lol.
I hope it's just a prank.
 
I'm almost positive that it's not legit.
I've been hearing reports that he's got cameras following him around, and that he's working with Casey Affleck on a documentary.
He's going all Andy Kauffman and punking the world.
(or at least I hope so! I love Joaquin)
I hope it is for a documentary I'd LOVE to see that.
It's reminding me of my theatre class--we're having to make these crazy artistic/political statements and this whole stunt seems like that.
I love crazy Joaquin. I LOLed so hard @ that Letterman interview.
Legit or not, it still makes me LOL.

I support Joaquin.

Naw I think the whole stunt isn't legit.
If he were in such a state why would he bother showing up to Letterman at all?
Maybe it's a contractual thing, but I heard that they were talking after the show or whatever and ya, the whole cameras following him around thing is what has me believing it's a hoax.

You just summed up my opinion.

Yeah, I've heard the same thing.
I think I read that on Perez a little while ago.

What, no beard? :rolleyes:

Yeah, the whole Casey & his cameras thing makes it sound fishy. They SAY that it's Casey documenting Joaquin's journey to be a hiphop star. Mhm, sure.

His interview just weirded me out though. If this is a hoax, then it's one of the funniest things I've ever seen. If it's real, then it's one of the saddest.
 
oh dear...i hadn't seen the interview oh wow, this is kinda freaky

poor guy, I loved him in Walk the Line I'm not sure what happened since then.

The whole beard thing just wasn't working out for me.

Ya, and like I believe that load about Casey documenting his career transition. HAH.
 
this is so off topic,

but he was born in the same town i was born in!
 
yeah i used to be like he is totally hot. Now i am like what did he do to himself!
it looks like he hadnt had a shower for a couple of days!lol!

And his sisters name Summer is my name!
But replace the E in SummEr to and A
so it is SummAr
 
I think it's a stunt. If it isn't I'll be sad. He's very talented.
 
I'm almost certain that it's a hoax. I read in People magazine that it's very highly suspected that the whole thing is a set up for the mockumentary he's working on. If it's not a joke, I have to wonder what drugs he's been taking. xD
 
I also don't think someone who seems as levelheaded as Casey Affleck would be following him around with a camera and let him ruin himself with drugs if something was really up with him. I think he'd want to have an intervention instead of filming his demise.
