Joaquin Phoenix @ Toronto Film Festival

Color-coordinated co-stars Joaquin Phoenix and Jennifer Connelly attend the Reservation Road press conference during the Toronto International Film Festival 2007 held at the Sutton Place Hotel on Wednesday.

Thankfully Jen’s natural beauty balanced out the hot mess Joaquin looked at TIFF! He looked good a year ago while shooting the film

10+ pictures inside of Joaquin & Jennifer at the Toronto Film Festival…

WTF, WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO JOUAQIN. IS HE IN CRACK?

HE USED TO BE HOT.

# 3

Joaquin, what happened to you baby? Come to momma, I’ll make you feel better.

# 4

WOW… He’s ugly! I didn’t even recognize him! =[

Ugh, What the hell happened to Joaquin?? He is looking fat and nasty these days. Rather reminiscent of John Belushi before he crashed and burned.

# 6

The wackier he gets the hotter he is!

WOW he does look a lil rough around the edges. Loved them together in “Inventing the Abotts” Great movie!

# 8

I love Joaquin. Hopefully he won’t get jipped winning an Oscar this year.

# 9

I love him anyways :)
He’s always a good actor.

Oooh, wonder if he smells?

I really hope Joaquin doesn’t go the way poor River did. I saw some of the coverage on the internet and Jennifer Connelly looked really uncomfortable.
Let’s not forget Cannes, either. Co-stars which included Eva Mendes and director looked uncomfortable, too.

Kinda reminds me a little of John Belushi…

I FIND IT INTERESTING THAT JENNIFER CONNELY IS DOING A MOVIE WITH BEN

AND THAT JOAQUIN IS CASEY AFFLECK’S BROTHER IN LAW …

Regina, can you post a link to the coverage you saw? I’d love to check it out. Joaquin looks scruffy, and Mark does too actually. This press conference was done in the morning and they may have flown in and gone straight there. It’s just a press conference, they should be all cleaned up for the premiere.

Love Joaquin! You have deserved many Oscars and one day will get your well-deserved opportunity! Great actor….

Jared, I totally remember when you posted on this movie’s filming. And now here it is! It looks good.

I was laughing hysterically because he looks a goddamn mess. It’s like his appearance — his hair is messy and his unshaven face is fucked. I think it needs to be fixed by ***** Eye.

Doesn’t Joaquin checks himself BEFORE going out?

Are you guys nuts or what? Do you know Joaquin? You certainly act like you do with your comments but something tells me you know nothing about him. Anyway, he doesn’t care what people think about his looks or his actions…he would never read this crap.

Ok what a mess here!Anyway love joaquin, he is a terrific actor. I’m still not over the fact he didn’t get that oscar.Can’t wait to see the movie.I would watch anything he is in.I saw him in many interviews he was always so sweet and adorable.SO **17 Regina**, I don’t see where you coming from.

OMG, J, what’s up with you? I AM SO SORRY I ROBBED YOU OF ALL THE CUTE GENE IN OUR FAMILY…. That’s what River would have said from his grave!

Joaquin wtf happened to you? :(

suspicious package @ 09/12/2007 at 4:44 pm

We don’t need to personally know him to know he looks like sh*t. God, and to think I used to covet his ass.

I don’t know Britney Spears either, but I can still tell she’s batsh*t insane.

What idiots; bashing people is all you know how.

Cindy, it is our opinion what we think here…I like Joaquin too but right here I don’t think he looks good at all…infact, he looks worse everytime there is a new photo taken of him…

The orange thing… Is it normal? What is it???

the_original_nika @ 09/12/2007 at 5:22 pm

looks like a bum lol.

Seriously, he looks like he might smell….

So what, he’s unshaven and has messy hair? Tis’ Joaquin! He is beyond brilliant and isn’t obsessed with his appearance–what novelty in the vomit-inducing vanity of Hollywood. You see him cutting it fine at premieres, he cleans up good! But I always smile when I see him like this, about the farthest from metrosexual as you can get. He is still sexy, regardless if he primps himself to the satisfaction of some people. Like he could care less. And I couldn’t either.

Joaquin is normally hot as hell but DAMN! He really needs to shave!

He doesn’t give a **** and I think that’s marvellous! Good for you Joaquin, he looks hot anyway. Have any of you thought that he might be in preparation/making another movie - hence the look! Fine actor, one of the best working today.

Oh my god, he looks terrible

Tomcat2510 @ 09/12/2007 at 6:05 pm

Joaquin stays Joaquin… He’s charismatic and he’s awesome…equal to himself…

it’s what makes his charm, too

Jennifer’s sooo gorgeous! That pic where she’s waving… oh my God, that’s the sweetest little sexy smile ever. And her eyes always amaze me… So stunning. Paul Bettany is one lucky *******, lol.

I don’t care his appearance. I still love him and think is a beautiful actor !! You’re the best Joaquin !

All the participants wear this orange plastic band, perhaps something like an entry card.
And even if Joaquin looks like he hasn’t seen a comb or a shaver in weeks, let alone used them, and abandoned any diet, he still looks hotter than most male human beings! Maybe he is preparing for that new movie where Gwyneth Paltrow will be attached to him - poor guy, maybe the only way to fight her off??
Well, and not to forget - he is a terrifict actor!! And he could plunder my fridge any time he feels like ….

Both Mark and Joaquin look like they just rolled out of bed. Only Mira and Jennifer saved the day.

But that’s Joaquin, he couldn’t care less.

But I wonder how Jennifer is standing it, because he really, really looks like he smells….

dumdddddy @ 09/12/2007 at 7:34 pm

get a clue
real actors have to look like real people!

Wow, he gained a lot of weight!

he he Mark and Joaquin have the same hairdresser. Anyway Joaquin is still hot as hell and I love both of them.

The Best Policy @ 09/12/2007 at 8:51 pm

This guy is FUGLY. Always has been, always will be.

He’s a FAT, BALDING, smoking, drug addict.

YUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, honey, what happened to you? (happened? is that right? sorry, horrible english)

Even looking like that, I still love Joaquin.

Finally! Some people who really know Joaquin. Thank you Jules, Edie and Ruth! He is HOT no matter what and I like the “scruffy” look but he does clean up good too. I’m sure the beard is simply for the premiere or maybe it is for Two Lovers that he is to start shooting in November. And I know everyone is entitled to their opinion but you don’t have to be nasty about it.

Sorry, but there’s a fine line between some stubble and fly-away hair, and just plain needing to get a shower.

You can look scruffy and still be clean. Dignity, people.

There’s a fine line between being a bit scruffy with fly-away hair, and just needing to take a shower!

Jennifer Connelly is really beautiful.

Ahhh, Joaquin . . . I still think you are F-I-N-E ! ! ! Love to watch anything he is in, and will continue to do so. I think he looks yummy when he is scruffy, and drop dead gorgeous when he gussies himself up. I don’t know him, but I would certainly like to!

angelina_mmm @ 09/13/2007 at 2:27 am

Mark and Joaquin yummy :)

Wish he had won that oscar for walk the line :|. Such a great actor and very yummy (well, most of the time: not this time :))

Joaquin is so hot! Even when he doesn’t shower or shave. He doesn’t give a **** and I LOVE it! I like these actors that don’t take themselves too seriously. He’s said it before, he likes acting, hates promoting.

he seems to have put on weight but he looks happy XD

He looks like Bruce Campbell! Look at the eyes on the top pick. Well, kind of a heavy Bruce Campbell…

He looks like Jack Black ewwwwwwwwwww!!!

I think he looks a bit screwed up, not usual Joaquin quirky screwed up but insane loosing it, burned out. I know he is pretty infamous for not giving a crap what the industry thinks of him but he did care enough to get his teeth fixed (oh why oh why did he do that?!) and he usually scrubs up pretty well.

At Cannes he was wacky but like his usual self, here he looks like he needs a sleep and some down-time. Maybe it’s about time he found himself a good lovin’ woman to take care of him. He said a while back that movies were getting him down, could be that he’s just worked too hard doing something he doesn’t love anymore?!

He’s still sexy and who’s to judge that’s he’s gained a bit of weight, don’t we all? Just hope he isn’t gonna crash and burn.

he´s great always!!

Totally agree with you Phuzzie. I was flipping through the commentary about how he looks, wondering when someone was going to bring up his bizzare behavior. Actually, it wasn’t so much bizarre as rude. He was like the class clown that is funny at first but then gets annoying.
I felt annoyed for his coworkers that he was behaving like that. He was disrespectful. But then, I wasn’t there. They didn’t seem too upset by it. Maybe because they are used to his behavior, or maybe b/c they know something the rest of us don’t. Perhaps he did just get off a plane. Regardless, I think he acted like an a**.
I’m a fan. Don’t know the guy, but I respect him for his work with PETA and the Peace Alliance. Just sucks to see someone you admire act so incongrously with the parts of them that you aspire to.
