Director Casey Affleck has recently stated that his documentary, 'I'm Still Here' starring Joaquin Phoenix is in fact fake. Affleck said they "wanted to create a space. You believe what's happening is real." And after some angry reviews surfaced he stated, "I never intended to trick anybody, the idea of a quote, hoax, unquote, never entered my mind."
He also said that David Letterman was not in on the joke when Phoenix, showed up in character as a complete wreck, and left Letterman to sum up the interview with: "Joaquin, I'm sorry you couldn't be here tonight."
But, Phoenix will return to "Late Show with David Letterman" on September 22, as himself and hopefully redeem himself and regain his fan base perhaps?
Affleck also said that one part of the movie was real, which was "a snippet of a home movie that showed Phoenix and his very young siblings performing, Jackson Five style, on the streets of Los Angeles."
