Joaquin Phoenix to appear on Letterman next week

Joaquin Phoenix’s startling but funny appearance on David Letterman’s Late Show last year was one of the most buzzed-about celebrity scandals in 2009. The actor’s apparent cocaine-fuelled downward spiral is at the centre of I’m Still Here, the Casey Affleck documentary screening at TIFF. Today, the Late Show announced that Phoenix will appear on the program on September 22. We’re curious to see if he shows up bright-eyed and clean-shaven as he has at several recent charity events.
