Joaquin Phoenix Attacks Heckler (Video)
Aspiring hip-hop star Joaquin Phoenix made a spectacle of himself when he jumped off stage to confront a laughing heckler during a gig in Miami Wednesday night.
Fans waited four hours at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach hotel for Phoenix to perform. He eventually took the stage at 2am, smoking a cigarette and wearing a disheveled dark suit.
He began his performance, although most of the lyrics were unintelligible. Then he responded to someone who appeared to be heckling him in the audience near the stage.
“We have a (double expletive) in the audience. I’ve got a $1 million in the bank. What have you got?,” Joaquin said before jumping into the crowd.
The whole incident was caught on tape by his brother-in-law Casey Affleck. Luckily security guards intervened immediately and no one was hurt.
