Joaquin Phoenix Gets Drunk, Goes Commando, Grabs Self, Raps, Falls Off Stage

You may have heard that last October actor Joaquin Phoenix announced that he would quit acting. Well, he re-emerged this last week looking like a hobo to rap in a Law Vegas private party(?). Yes, we’re just as puzzled as you. Apparently, a party he hosted at the LAVO nightclub in the Palazzo Hotel and Casino featured him more out of shape and little drunker than we’ve ever seen him (oh, fuck it… the guy was smashed). The launch of his newfound rap career was an unspectacular debut, by the sound of it, because he eventually fell off the stage during his routine. Jesus.
Maybe he’s suffering a mental breakdown over the painful memory of his brother, or maybe his cousin, Casey Affleck just gave Joaquin a little too much “liquid courage” before the show. After all, Casey and Joaquin are filming a documentary about Joaquin, called “It’s the Joaquin Show, starring me—I’m Joaquin! FALL!” and maybe he boozed Joaquin up to make a good show. We’re also not sure if this is legit or just some ironic, viral video, self-marketing campaign, kinda like Steve Guttenberg jogging naked or Tom Hanks eating our of a Taco Cabana dumpster*.
*This never happened.
Either way, we at QC wanna wish him good luck with his rap? Err… hope about wishing him good lyck with standing up and not falling offstage? That would be an auspicious beginning to his hobo hip-hop career. See video of his rap skillz and tumbling offstage after the jump.

Drunken antics. It makes you wonder if anyone would give a shit about this if it wasn’t Joaquin. Oh, that’s right, NO ONE WOULD. We’ve seen loads of drunken pals do almost the exact same thing in bars around the world and they’re not famous (yet).
