Joaquin Phoenix Doesn't Want To Be A Sex Symbol Anymore

Joaquin Phoenix Doesn't Want To Be A Sex Symbol Anymore

So that's the reason behind the scruff! Mystery solved.

Joaquin Phoenix doesn't want to be seen as a sex symbol anymore. He's now going on record to tell the world why he's gone back to basics.

People have called me a sex symbol in the past, but it's very
much an effort. People know me as this kind of thing and in some ways I don't know that this
is my look.

It's been important for me to just do something that's extreme - that really
separates me from that public Joaquin Phoenix persona, whatever the f***
that is.

Though there is one other option as to why he's disregarded he's looks completely. :)

Or maybe I'm just lazy.

What if it were a female celebrity who had just completely stopped with any superficial upkeep the way Joaquin has? Can you imagine the backlash?!?

He bores me. And I also think this is all a stunt.

I think that explains Olsen girls transformation from hot to ugh, but, I think Joaquin's motivation is PR.

Anymore? Who the hell said he was one? This guy is the personification of Hollywood......absolutely out of touch with reality and the world around him.

I've never heard Joaquin referred to as a sex symbol. Perhaps it's just his ego he's trying to beat.

I've never thought of hime as a sex symbol, he just seems like one of those guys who has a big ego to make up for some smaller parts.

What morons...what are you, 12? Joaquin has never considered himself a sex symbol, it was Hollywood that tried to make him something he's not and now he's saying f**k you to that Hollywood crap and being his own person for once. Why can't you respect that? Go back and read the whole interview...if you're able.
