At a benefit Monday for the Association of Hole in the Wall Camps, Oscar-nominated actor Joaquin Phoeniz (Walk the Line, We Own the Night) announced that his latest film would be his last. Instead of continuing with his extremely successful acting career, Pheonix wants to focus on his music career.
“No, I’m not kidding,” he added, presumably not kidding.
Phoenix recently finished shooting the romantic drama Two Lovers also starring Gwyneth Paltrow(Iron Man), Vinessa Shaw(3:10 to Yuma, The Hills Have Eyes) and Isabella Rossellini (The Accidental Husband, Infamous).
Themove may prove risky for the talented actor, but it will only take time to see if he is as successful with his music career as he has been in film. If it doesn’t work out, Pheonix is always welcome back to Hollywood. But until then, we will miss his face on the silver screen.
