Actor Joaquin Phoenix is retiring from movies

Joaquin Phoenix announced that he is retiring from making movies–and he’s only 34 years old.

In an interview with Extra, the actor said he won’t make anymore movies because he only wants to focus on his music career.

I’m willing to bet $1 million that he won’t stay retired for long. 

I’m not passing judgement on his musical talent, but just because he did a great job portraying Johnny Cash in the “Walk The Line” movie doesn’t necessarily mean he can become a great singer.

If he wants to do music on the side like Bruce Willis does, that fine. But don’t retire from movies and become a full-time musician for the rest of your life. 

I’m sure very few people will actually buy his CD.
