"Actor-turned-rapper Joaquin Phoenix had to be restrained by a security guard at a gig in Florida - after he launched himself at a heckler in the audience.
The star - who has quit acting to pursue a hip-hop career - was playing a gig at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach hotel in Miami on Wednesday night when the incident occurred.
Fans packed into the hotel's nightclub waited four hours until Phoenix eventually appeared on stage at 2am, mumbling the words to his songs over a backing track.
And when one man began jeering from the crowd, Phoenix jumped down from the stage to confront him, yelling, "We have a b**** in the audience. I've got $1 million in the bank, what have you got."
Phoenix was restrained by security guards and dragged away.
Audience member Jorge Lledo says, "I saw the guy screaming at Joaquin, and Joaquin just came down."
The incident was captured on camera by Phoenix's brother-in-law Casey Affleck, who is said to be filming the star's career change for a documentary."
So, this has got to be an act right? Joaquin could not go from being an Oscar nominee to some drugged out homeless guy getting in fights with random losers in Miami. This guy is more on the radar now for this weird thing he's got going on than he was for starring in movies. And having brother-in-law Casey around to catch it all on tape, it just sounds a little "This is Spinal Tap" for me. Should make for an interesting movie none the less.

This must totally be a hoax. The only problem is everyone is already on to it, so it won't be some surprise ending. Also he isn't funny, he is incredibly awkward. Did you watch him on Letterman. Thank god Letterman can have a conversation and tell jokes by himself, seeing as Phoenix is a mute moron now.
