Joaquin Phoenix: 'I Won't Ever Go Back To Acting'

Joaquin Phoenix is adamant that he won't be returning to the movie world.

As previously reported, speculation is rife that the former Hollywood actor's foray into rap music is an elaborate hoax, but Joaquin has once again quashed these claims.

The 34-year-old explains to Associated Press that he's not the type of person to go back on his word, saying: "I'm not one of those people, like, when I break up with my girlfriend, I don't ever see her again. I see her as friends, but do I ever think about getting back together? No, when I do something, I do it. So I have no intention."

Enthusing about the his genre of choice, the bearded star continued: "I love the storytelling aspects of hip-hop, but I love the word play, as well. I just think the rhyming is fantastic, and I love, like, the raw emotion of it."
