Joaquin Phoenix Skips Cannes Due to Stomach Flu
Originally posted 05/20/2008 01:30PM
Joaquin Phoenix was forced to call in sick to the Cannes Film Festival.
The actor, 33, missed the Monday premiere of his movie Two Lovers after doctors told him he couldn't fly because of his illness.
"Joaquin has the stomach flu," his rep, Susan Patricola, tells PEOPLE. "He had his dog boarded, his tux in hand but couldn't even sit on the plane. He did go to the hospital to get hydrated, hoping he could get on the plane but he didn't stay there. He was so sick – and so sorry he couldn't be there with everyone."

Joaquin Phoenix Working on Music Career
Originally posted 05/09/2008 11:40AM
Joaquin Phoenix walked away with more than an Oscar nod for his portrayal of Johnny Cash in 2005's Walk The Line – the actor, who learned to play guitar for the role, also realized he loved to make music.
Three years later, the actor is now cutting an album with U.K. band The Charlatans. "Once he learned guitar he found that he had quite a lot of demons inside himself that he wanted to expel through music," the band's frontman, Tim Burgess, told Billboard.

Joaquin Phoenix: Grateful But Speechless for People's Choice Award
Originally posted 01/09/2008 11:45AM
Joaquin Phoenix may have been named favorite leading man during Tuesday's People's Choice Awards, but the actor wasn't feeling too chatty about the honor. Sure, he was grateful. But in his taped acceptance speech, Phoenix nodded to the ongoing writers' strike – which forced producers to retool the show – by using cards to broadcast his message. "I'm speechless without the writers," his cards read. "Seriously. But in my own quiet way, I want to thank the millions of fans that voted for me for favorite leading man." The actor then mumbled a quick "thank you" at the end of his printed message.
