So many movies, so little time. That's why we're here to pick the best from the rest! This Friday sees the release of the highly anticipated Inherent Vice starring Hollywood heavyweights Joaquin Phoenix, Owen Wilson and Reese Witherspoon. Check out the trailer here.
Actor Joaquin Phoenix made quite a splash on live TV last night when he told Late Show host David Letterman that he was engaged.
The Her star told David a bizarre story about falling in love with his yoga instructor after attempting a particularly intimate position with her. "She says we are going to get in the first position — the 'harnessing of the hog,'" he began. "Before I can say, 'Who is the hog,' she grabs me…[and] it's a compromising and vulnerable position, and she gets a strap and puts it [around me]…and she's thrusting."
Joaquin then went on to tell David about how he had proposed to the unnamed lady and that she had said yes.
A bit confused? So are we! Turns out we were right to be though, as the actor admitted earlier today that he was in fact fibbing about the whole thing.
"I think my life's so boring, and it seemed like something exciting to talk about, and I wanted the audience to like me," he said on Good Morning America. "They really like people getting married… I can get engaged again, if you like."
He denied trying to fool David (and the world), saying, "I did not play a prank on him — he knew that I was joking around."
Watch him coming clean about the news here:
The star's publicist also denied the engagement news, saying it was nothing more than "a joke" and was a result of Joaquin's "extremely spontaneous sense of humour."
Hmmm… wonder how he's going to make everyone believe him when he really DOES get engaged!
Walk the Line star Joaquin Phoenix, not exactly known for his tame television appearances, certainly didn’t disappoint Letterman viewers last night when he appeared on the popular late night chat show.
The acclaimed actor proceed to adopt questionable yoga poses on the floor of the studio before admitting that he’s engaged to be married, a big reveal that seemed to even shock host David Letterman.
The Her star decided to fill David in on a particular experience he had with his yoga instructor by lying on the floor and saying: “I don’t know if you can see this, but it’s a compromising and vulnerable position. My Julio Iglesias is up next to her goulash, and she’s thrusting, she’s pulling.” Er, OK.
Clearly spurred on by the audience’s reaction to his anecdote, the actor goes on to say: “This is the crazy part of the story, we started dating. And I think she’s the one. I proposed to her and she said yes.”
Accepting congratulations from the clearly taken aback host, Joaquin looked very excited at the prospect of making this woman his wife.
Aw, we wish them both well!
