Joaquin Phoenix announced to E! Online yesterday that he has retired from acting. It might be true (his IMDb has no upcoming projects listed), but I’m gonna go out on a limb and say this is bullshit. Actors crave attention, and they really can’t do anything else. You’d have a better chance of things going well if you reanimated a Pharaoh and sent him Christmas shopping than you would with Joaquin Phoenix functioning outside a movie set.
