Joaquin Phoenix Is Trying To Tell Us Something

Joaquin Phoenix, wtf? First the Gladiator star mumbled about retirement alongside brother-in-law Casey Affleck. Now he’s made an even bigger ass of himself by bungling a message to fans at the premiere of Che last Saturday. While his knuckles read “GOOD-BYE!” when he wrote on them, the fists proclaimed “BYE!-GOOD” to the world when he straightened his wrists back out. D’oh!

Unsurprisingly, Page Six reports that Phoenix was “out of it” this weekend, leaving half-way through a Paul Newman tribute and “wobbling back in a bit later.” Friends are concerned that the actor may have relapsed (ya think?). He may have written “BYE!-GOOD,” but he’s really saying “MEE!-HELP.”
