The Extraordinary Life of Joaquin Phoenix

When Joaquin was on Ellen

When Joaquin was on Ellen, back in 2015, Ellen DeGeneres thanked Joaquin over and over for being there as she knew how private he is. He told her that he had to be there as his family insisted on it. He mentioned to Ellen how he had fallen asleep relaxing to her comedy special, while his sisters were laughing.

Ellen spoke to Joaquin about his role on the movie Inherent Vice (directed by Paul Thomas Anderson) and they engage in silly banter about Joaquin having to walk around barefoot for the role. Ellen thanked him for coming on for the interview, that was no longer than 5 minutes and, as usual, Ellen made Joaquin as comfortable as can be.
