He’s been looking untidy for some time but an appearance in oiami on oonday night has intensified fears for the wellbeing of actor Joaquin Phoenix. Seen at a party with his brother-in-law Casey Affleck, actor/singer Jamie Foxx and hip-hop mogul Sean ‘P Diddy’ Combs, the 34-year-old ‘Walk the Line’ star appeared disheveled and bloated.
A friend of the actor says fears are mounting for his health and sanity: “For people who know Joaquin, it’s been an incredibly traumatic year, filled with chaos. Everyone wants to help but nobody’s been able to break through. His bizarre behaviour has everyone worried. It’s just getting scary.”
Joaquin, who went into rehab in 2005, announced last year that he was retiring from acting in order to become a full-time musician but it seems that hitting the nightclub scene in earnest has been capturing his attentions. The friend continues, “Joaquin has rejected everything that has come along with Hollywood stardom, the acclaim, the attention, and the artistic opportunities.”
Joaquin’s older brother River famously died of a drug overdose after collapsing outside the Viper Room nightclub on Sunset Boulevard in 1993 and friends fear if Joaquin doesn’t curb his habits, he may suffer the same fate.
