Throughout his interview with David Letterman, Joaquin Phoenix remained detached; Idol Chatter perhaps characterized his appearance best as having “a hard time walking the line between coherent answers and having an idiot savant-like presence.” You can check out Joaquin Phoenix on the “Late Show with David Letterman” above.
