Joaquin Phoenix Gets Wacky With Heckler
Thu., Mar. 12, 2009 8:31 AM PDT by Breanne L. Heldman
Joaquin Phoenix has added another chapter to his wacky post-acting saga. The aspiring rapper got into quite a scuffle, which ended his Miami Beach club performance prematurely.
The 34-year-old star took the stage at LIV nightclub at Fontainebleau just before 2 a.m. with the scruffy and unkempt beard he's been sporting of late. Shortly after he began rapping and nodding his head to a beat provided by the DJ, a man in the audience began to mock Phoenix.
That's when Phoenix lost his cool, calling out the man and cursing. "We have a f--king a------ in the audience," he said, continuing to bob his head. "I've got a million dollars in the bank. What have you got, b----?"
Then he dove into the audience, but it wasn't to crowd surf.
As Phoenix attempted to get in the face of his heckler, security swarmed the star and eventually dragged him from the club, ending the show not long before it began.
All the while, brother-in-law Casey Affleck's curious camera continued to roll.
Other than having his rep release a statement about psychological comments made about him from afar, the Walk the Line lead's bizarre actions haven't dominated the news since his meeting with David Letterman a month ago.
Still no word as to whether or not Phoenix's antics are art or reality.
