If you hate Joaquin Phoenix, you probably don’t care about this anyway and should stop reading. But if you’re a fan, here some sad news for you: Phoenix announced he’s retiring from acting.

Yeah, I still don’t know whether to really believe it, but that’s what the Oscar-nominated actor said in the interview you can check out just below. He said he’s pretty much done it all at this stage, and he would like to focus more on his music.

As you can see in the clip after the jump, the reporter conducting the interview acted quite unprofessionally, laughing at Phoenix and asking him if he was really serious about this. Well, Phoenix was obviously not pleased.

Phoenix’s last film is “Two Lovers,” a James Gray-directed drama opening Feb. 13, 2009. Well Joaquin, good luck with the music.
