Casey Affleck Gossip, News & Photos

Ben Affleck talked to E! Daily 10 (7:30 pm ET/PT) about his brother Casey's documentary on Joaquin Phoenix's transition from acting to rapping.  Ben definitely sounds supportive of Casey's directorial debut.

My brother is directing this documentary which is about Joaquin's um, you know shift from acting to music.  I have seen some of the stuff. And I think this movie is going to be spectacular.  My brother's going to prove to be quite a director and uh, it's hard to know you know... well I'll leave it at that."

If you're like me, and wondering how Casey became involved in all this, remember that Casey is married to Joaquin's sister.  So do you consider Ben's comment more "verification" that Joaquin truly is quitting acting to pursue a rap career?

Either this is all a big joke for Casey Affleck's documentary, or Joaquin Phoenix has lost his damn MIND. We all know Casey is filming Joaquin's rise to fame as a new rapper on the scene, but we've never seen the former actor in action. Here is your chance.

Joaquin is even seen falling off the stage in the second video and then he stands up moments later with his arm in the air as if to say he is alright. Feels very scripted to me. But who knows... I could be wrong.

What do you think?

It's begun! A cameraman has been hired and Casey Affleck is officially Joaquin Phoenix's shadow. Here they are at LAVO nightclub in Las Vegas at  Joaquin's first public apperance as a rapper trying to break into the industry.

It shouldn't be that hard considering Sean Combs is already backing the former actor! 

Out of control!!And why does Joaquin's hat have so many holes?

"Right before they say action, Brad will put ash on you or light your pants on fire or just slap you. That's a good way to start the scene as far as he's concerned. Brad's a fun man. He's really fun to work with. It's strange how he can stay in character and do his thing, but also put ash in your hat right before they say action."
