We’ve seen him on the big screen playing the role of Johnny Cash, country music icon, in the film “Walk the Line” (for which he earned an Academy Award nomination). Now it seems Joaquin Phoenix is walking over that fine line which separates movies from music – literally.
Associated Press reports that one of the best actors in Hollywood, Joaquin Phoenix, is giving up acting to become a musician. Phoenix learned how to play guitar and did his own singing in “Walk the Line,” and now, it appears, wants to prove his credible portrayal of Johnny was no fluke.
“It’s like greener pastures, you know what I mean?” Phoenix said last Saturday. “I’m just going to try and like, I’ll just be doing the other thing…Hopefully, I will emotionally impact you with that, as well.”
Phoenix is far from the first actor to make the leap from movies to music, but certainly one of the most promising. I know that I speak for the multitude when I say that we’ve all been enthralled from your performances on screen and we hope that talent translates to the big stage. No doubt it will; good luck, Joaquin.
