Writer Says Letterman Knew Phoenix Was Faking

celebs: David Letterman | Casey Affleck | Joaquin Phoenix

Joaquin Phoenix was just acting. That's the revelation that came from the mouth of director Casey Affleck regarding his bizarre documentary, "I'm Still Here."

Affleck gave an interview with the New York Times admitting that the entire film was just a performance, including Phoenix's infamous mumble-filled appearance on "Late Show With David Letterman" back in 2009.

In the Times interview, Affleck says Letterman was unaware of the joke. But according to an August 19, 2009, interview with one of his writers, Letterman was very much in on it. In NUVO Newsweekly, an independent weekly from Indianapolis, Marc D. Allan spoke to Bill Scheft, Letterman's monologue writer.

In the interview Scheft reveals, "Dave knew about it and Dave loved it because he could play along. He could do whatever he wanted with it. And he did, and it was great television." The writer also says he gave Letterman a line to use during a commercial break. "I will take credit for the line, 'I think I owe Farrah Fawcett an apology.' That line was mine."

What's amazing is that this interview is from 2009, and yet nobody seemed to pick up on it. We called Mr. Allan to confirm that Mr. Scheft was being sincere in the interview. Mr. Allan says that not only was Mr. Scheft sincere, but he (Mr. Allen) sent the article out to numerous publications as proof that Phoenix's behavior was just a ruse. Nobody ever picked up on it.

A CBS spokesperson declined to comment. However, numerous bloggers have commented on the revelation that Affleck's film was a hoax. A blogger from The Washington Post writes, "There is something, for lack of a better word, brave in what Phoenix did."

The Los Angeles Times is less impressed, pointing out that the film failed, even as a hoax, considering so few people bothered to see it. In its first weekend of limited release, the film pulled in just over $96,000.

Letterman may have joined the Joaquin hoax for ratings purposes. Once word got out that Joaquin appeared on the show acting strange and looking even stranger then it would definitely be the talk of the town. Plus Letterman knew that he would be watched more closely on his show and become interviewed so that others could get his opinion on Joaquin's behavior. It's called show...BUSINESS. :lol:

I think he was really brave for doing this. Well done Joaquin.

"In the event, Phoenix swore it was a real documentary despite clear evidence that it was a " screen mocking a narrow mind public."

In this case is that the media have turned the crowd, a radish sheep, in narrow-minded people who are not able to differentiate reality, another reality, a parallel virtual or creating the media loaded of lies and false scenarios.
Despite indications that he was a "mockumentary", nobody was able to think for themselves and realize this.
Michael is using the media at will, but this time the contrary, the news media and makes the copy and paste all the garbage he creates. :lol:
