Found in: Movies, NewsPaste's Double Life Playlist: The Actor/Musician

Maybe a more pertinent question is whether his recent subdued behavior on David Letterman was caused by some sort of chemical influence or if Phoenix was simply in character as a part of his continued quest to punk the world.... read more
