Joaquin Phoenix is laughing, and only he's in on the joke. Enigmatic, mysterious, misunderstood -- Joaquin doesn't care about what's expected of him, and he's led a unique career in Hollywood by following his own path. Before iconic roles in Gladiator, Joker and Her, Phoenix's unconventional upbringing in a controversial religious cult and the loss of his superstar brother River molded the type of artist he'd later become. After the spotlight and scrutiny of the media in his darkest years, Joaquin eventually clawed back at the press in his own way. And this is that story -- of how Joaquin Phoenix has been f***ing with all of us, all along.
