Keanu Reeves, Nicolas Cage, Dane Cook or Josh Hartnett–all terrible actors I’d love to see “retire” from acting. Instead, Joaquin Phoenix, a true talent (and very easy on the eyes), announced that he is officially calling it quits to pursue a singing career. Initially I wondered if this was just one of those “I’m going with the moment…I’ve had some cocktails, everyone’s feeling inspired (he was at a benefit for Paul Newman’s camp for kids when he let the cat out of the bag), so guess what folks, I’m outta here.” Then I thought about it for another minute and-a-half and figured, no, he seems like a pretty intense serious dude, I think he probably means it. Which makes me kind of sad, because he’s one of the good ones, an actor I actually enjoy watching, no matter the role/genre.
Well, good luck Joaquin…and if your first album sells, would you mind forming a band? Y’know, take some more kids with you…like Keanu, and Dane? PLEASE?!?! Anyway, I figured it’s only appropriate to include a clip of Joaquin singing. Here he is in a duet with Reese Witherspoon from Walk the Line…
