Has Joaquin Phoenix gone off the deep end? Friends are worried about the star, who has had a very public battle with drink and drugs. Phoenix showed up to a tribute to Paul Newman last week in San Francisco and was totally out of it.

Phoenix just got up and walked out. "He wobbled back in a bit later, but it was odd." "He was slurring his words and was unsteady on his feet."


Phoenix gave a weird interview to "Extra" in which he said he was retiring from acting. He abruptly ended that interview after the reporter wondered whether he was joking about giving up acting for music.

On Saturday night, the words "Good Bye" were penned on the actor's knuckles at a premiere for his latest film, "Two Lovers," and 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.


Joaquin Phoenix said he would like to explore other opportunities and focus on music at this time in his life. Phoenix is a two-time Oscar nominee,"Walk the Line" and "Gladiator."
