Wha?!
Joaquin Phoenix: Retiring from Movies at Age 34?
Joaquin Phoenix dropped quite a shocker at a benefit for Paul Newman's camps for kids Monday, announcing his plans to quit acting.
"I want to take this opportunity ... to give you the exclusive and just talk a little bit about the fact that this will be my last performance as an actor," the two-time Oscar nominee told Extra at the San Francisco event. "I'm not doing films anymore."
"Are you serious?" asked the stunned interviewer Jerry Penacoli.
"Yeah. I'm working on my music," Phoenix insisted. "I'm done. I've been through that."
His rep confirmed the retirement to Extra.
I have to admit I am disapointed by this announcement if it proves to be true; I have always enjoyed Joaquin Phoenix in most of his roles.

No way! Wow, I really liked his movie roles too. That's a shame.

It didn't seem like such a shock to me. He did say that a couple of years ago. kd

I hope this is a hoax or that he has a change of heart. He is in my top 5 list of favorite actors. I especially like him in "Signs."

He'll be back. He's been acting since he was Leaf Phoenix. He is one of my favorite actor though.

I guess his playing Johnny Cash a few years back must have convinced him that should be where he directs his future career path.

Well, he has been doing it for a long time, so I can understand if he'd want to quit.

He'll probably return for another of M. Night S's movies in the future...

I too enjoyed his acting and he will be missed. I can't think of any film I saw him in that I haven't enjoyed. I hope he does well with his band and pray he will be happy in his new endeavor.

I believe he is a great actor too. I really enjoyed in him Ladder 49 and We Own the Night.....

Oooo...We Own the Night is one of my FAVES! I too think he is an incredible actor and can't believe he is ending his acting career! Let's hope he was kidding!
