I used to have the biggest crush on Joaquin Phoenix. Notice the emphasis on the words 'used to'.
Just to give you a little history lesson on my crazy and innocent crush.
As a little teen bopper in the late 80's, I used to LOVE his brother River Phoenix. I thought he was the cat's meow. Saw all his movies, read every article about him. Watched him live at the Oscar's and prayed hard that he would win. I even considered stalking him in L.A. when we lived in Cali. It was closed to being obsessed that I could come.
Then he overdosed in front of the Viper Room in Hollywood, and that was all she wrote.
Years later I saw Gladiator and fell head over heels for the tyrannical Commodus. The acting was chilling and I was all about bad boys then. (That would explain the EX husband).
Antyways.
I watched and bought all of his movies, joined his fan club, read every coverage on him from People magazine to GQ, and I even went so far as to attempt to write him a fan letter. I never mailed it.
I even considered putting his name on my license plates. They would have looked like this:
JOAQNPX
The hubby wasn't going for it. I don't blame him. Now.
It was this photo that did it for me last January.
Joaquin + Mountain Beard = SAY WHAT?!?
Okay what is it with actors who have such a brilliant career, and they want to throw it all away to pursue a music career. Yeah I know we've heard it all before, and my crush (even though innocent) died the moment I saw that picture.
Call me shallow, but I can't comprehend the former actor who almost won two Oscars and won one Golden Globe as a rapper. Can you?
He won a Grammy for the soundtrack 'Walk The Line', and now he wants to be a rapper. And guess who is rumored to produce his record? P. Diddy.
Yes people I know, the news is old about Joaquin Phoenix wanting to be a rapper. To prove that he is serious, BIL Casey Affleck is recording a documentary about the whole transition. A rapper who started his career rapping to such titles such as 'I Want A Refund', and droning on and on and trying to rhyme 'boom' and 'room' over and over again. Yes, rapping world beware, there is a new kid in town!
It's not even good rapping like Eminem, but it sounds like something put together on a paper napkin at the bar, two minutes before going on stage.
Yes, this twice nominated Oscar boy of Hollywood used to make my heart go all a flutter, but not anymore.
It's just scary.
And my mom still doesn't know.
