The NY Post exposes a little tantrum by the youngest Phoenix sibling, who once called himself “Leaf”:
JOAQUIN Phoenix, notoriously cranky in interviews, set a new standard for surliness with Time Out New York’s Laura Leu the other day. When Leu asked by phone how he prepared for his role as a drug-addled nightclub manager in “We Own the Night,” Phoenix responded, “I never prepare. I think that’s completely overrated. It’s a very simple job. All you have to do is . . . stand in the right spot and say the line. So I don’t really believe in preparation.” When Leu pressed, “But you prepared for ‘Ladder 49′ by training with a fire academy,” testy Phoenix replied, “I just said that because I thought it would sound good to the press. I don’t know why it seems to be of note that actors do any kind of preparation. It’s just what you’re supposed to do in your [bleep]ing job. Do you think that because you did some research you deserve some special credit?” Then he hung up on her.
Wow. Someone really needs to get laid. Since when did Joaquin turn into such an unwashed freak?

I usually like Joaquin in movies, I think he’s pretty talented. But let’s face it, he’d be unloading boxes of papertowels at Costco if it weren’t for Hollywood. So he should put up and shut up when he has to do promo interviews.

Actually, he hung up on her after she told him that she was eating a hotdog and wearing a fur coat. Any Joaquin fans knows how he feels about that….she was trying to get a rise out of him…he took the high road in my opinion.
