The answer to the question "Has anyone seen Joaquin Phoenix?" is an emphatic "Yes, Miley Cyrus has."
The bizarre yet highly watchable duo, together with Liv Tyler, have joined forces for a rather charming PSA to both raise awareness for the suicide-prevention group To Write Love On Her Arms and secure the organization $1 million.
The clean-shaven and—more surprisingly, given his last recorded appearance—coherent Phoenix plays the role of a flummoxed Luddite who yearns for someone who is "entertaining and fun" and, most importantly, "chattery" to teach him how to log on to the site.
That sounds like a job for just one girl. Too bad Joaquin's never heard of her.
"What does she do?" he asks his PSA pal.
"A singer. You're brand-new, you just start?" he asks Cyrus, who then proceeds to offer a helpful, if slightly patronizing, step-by-step guide to voting for the organization.
"Wow," Phoenix replies. "What do you do again?"
His attempts to pass on the wisdom he learns from "Jessica Cyrus" to Tyler doesn't go much better, resulting in Cyrus returning for a tutorial.
"Easy enough," she explains to Tyler. "Joaquin made it much harder than it actually is."
To cast your own vote for the charity, which is hoping to use the funds to launch tools for prevention and develop an online community for those dealing with suicidal thoughts or coping with a suicide victim, visit To Write Love On Her Arms' official website at www.twloha.com. Voting ends tonight at midnight.
