Joaquin Phoenix Ditches Acting and Takes Up Rapping. Of course.

Posted by Jason Harper on Thu, Feb 5, 2009 at 1:55 PM

Joaquin Phoenix -- of Gladiator and Walk the Line fame -- has for a long time talked of retirement from acting. As it turns out, he has a backup career in the works ... as a rapper. The London Times reported this week that Phoenix has already given a few performances. The article also includes a recent picture of Phoenix with dark glasses and a small forest of unruly facial hair, making him look like a slimmer version of Rick Rubin.

The two-time Oscar nominee claims his bizarre career transformation is no joke. This short clip of one of his "performances," during which Phoenix falls from the stage, tells a very different story.

More abysmally horrifying and confusing the footage of him actually "rapping."
