Casey Affleck on the Camera, Joaquin Phoenix on the Mic

Last year, Joaquin Phoenix startled a good few of us when he announced that he was retiring from acting to pursue a career in music. Many were rather skeptical, and most pictured something like Walk the Line, with Phoenix a strummin’ and a singin’. Of course, those folks all turned out to be wrong.
It has now been announced that Casey Affleck is following Phoenix and filming his musical endeavours for a documentary, but those of us who have been paying really close attention have known this since November at least. Back then, a number of images surfaced of Phoenix performing at Funkmosphere in Culver City – one of which is above. Below the break I’ll give you the actual surprising news as well where to see a video of Phoenix rapping.
