myboyblue Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Anyone see this young man on Letterman last night? If this is an act, hat's off to him. First that "hip-hop" video leaked and now this. Here's a partial clip of some of the highlights... Letterman is still hilarious: Letterman highlights Quote Link to post Share on other sites

aricandover Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 awesome, he's slipped into the Brother Theodore/Crispin Glover camp of Letterman guests. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Winston Legthigh Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 awesome, he's slipped into the Brother Theodore/Crispin Glover camp of Letterman guests.Cept, Brother Theodore had his shtick, which was planned. Glover was freaky and flakey - maybe not so planned... (at least I'm pretty sure David didn't like Crispin's boot coming within an inch of his face) Joaquin was merely boring and stoned...

Mrs. Peel Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 This is SO uncomfortable. It has to be an act. It has to be. "Joaquin, I'm sorry you couldn't be here tonight." Quote Link to post Share on other sites
embiggen Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 there's this too Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Duck-Billed Catechist Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 It's an act. You can see him holding in a laugh around 3:15 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PigSooie Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Holy shit that is hilarious. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mrs. Peel Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 I'm not sure where I heard this, but I did hear speculation that he and Casey Affleck are filming a "reality" show with Joaquin's alter ego. I wouldn't watch it, but I hope there's some kind of explanation like that and it's not that he's just gone batshit crazy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PigSooie Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 It's an act. You can see him holding in a laugh around 3:15 You know - that seems unlikely. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John Smith Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Is he playing a character? Or has he gonne off the deep end? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
M. (hristine Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 You know - that seems unlikely.Joaquin is a good actor, but Dave not so much. Dunno. I think he was stoned out of his gourd. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NightOfJoy Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 The world needs more Crispin Glover. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
myboyblue Posted February 12, 2009 Author Share Posted February 12, 2009 It's an act. You can see him holding in a laugh around 3:15 Part of me believes that but why? It's not like his stock was dropping. He's a pretty well-respected actor. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JUDE Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Maybe he's working on a new Andy Kaufman biopic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

M. (hristine Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Maybe he's working on a new Andy Kaufman biopic.Actually when I see stuff like this, and especially that Crispin Glover piece I always think of Andy Kaufman. Performance art comedy is not for everyone, but man I dig it. "fucked up as a pile of coat hangers"I love this one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dude Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Part of me believes that but why? It's not like his stock was dropping. He's a pretty well-respected actor. I think he's filming a Borat - style pic, with himself as the central character, that will examine celebrity and the media's reactions to his meltdown. Casey Affleck is also producing it and "in" on the joke. I think his stoned-out Joaquin persona allows him to fuck with people's heads for 6 months or so. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GtrPlyr Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 I get the "this is a stunt" vibe after watching this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jff Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 If this isn't an act, he has a very shitty agent. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
