Nov 3, 2008 Author: YourCelebrityStuff | Filed under: Joaquin Phoenix

The words “Good Bye” (actually BYE! GOOD) were penned on the actor’s knuckles at a premiere Saturday night for his latest film, “Two Lovers,” and Joaquin Phoenix confirmed a surprise announcement he made last week: He’s giving up movies.

“I think it’s just moving on. It’s rediscovering something else,” said Phoenix, 34, said in an interview with Associated Press Television News before Saturday’s American Film Institute festival, which also premiered “Che,” starring Benicio Del Toro.

“Two Lovers” is his last film, he said. His publicist had disclosed Friday that the actor intended to focus on music.

Phoenix first mentioned his decision to “Extra” early last week at a fundraiser in San Francisco. He abruptly ended that interview after the reporter wondered whether he was joking about giving up acting for music.

Phoenix learned to play guitar and did his own singing to play country legend Johnny Cash in “Walk the Line,” which earned him an Academy Award nomination. His publicist also said Phoenix has been directing music videos in recent years.

“It’s like greener pastures, you know what I mean?” Phoenix said Saturday. “And so, I’m just going to try and like, I’ll just be doing the other thing. … Hopefully, I will emotionally impact you with that, as well.”

“Two Lovers” stars Phoenix as a heartbroken man torn between a needy, neurotic neighbor (Gwyneth Paltrow) and the sensible woman (Vinessa Shaw) his parents want him to marry. The film, due in theaters early next year, was directed by James Gray, with whom Phoenix also worked on “We Own the Night” and “The Yards.”

Just wondering…is Joaquin on drugs again?

Joaquin Phoenix has been hospitalized for a stomach ailment, forcing him to skip the premiere of his new drama Two Lovers Monday at the Cannes Film Festival, according to Entertainment Tonight. Have you ever heard of a healthy, young guy being hospitalized for stomach flu? It sounds fishy to us. If they said he was home in bed, I would believe that he only has the flu, but they said he was hospitalized for stomach flu. Joaquin has a history of drug and alcohol abuse. We really hope that it is just the stomach flu. He is one of our favorite actors.

In an email read at a press conference for the film, Phoenix, 33, said he was “very disappointed” he could not attend the premiere.

Director James Gray added that Phoenix wanted to attend, but doctors insisted on hospitalizing him.

Gwyneth Paltrow plays one of one Phoenix’s romantic interests in Two Lovers.

When asked at about Phoenix’s health, she told Fox News, “He’s all right.”
