“There’s just something punk about J. Phoenix humbling himself to the point of becoming a laughingstock. ”

“Absolutely. Sometimes a total cleansing is necessary for personal evolution.”

A total cleansing? Hardly. If he dumped all is money and his LA digs, then yeah. But otherwise, its pretty easy to ‘follow your dreams’ when you’ve got a seven, eight or nine figure bank account. Chris McCandless cleansed….

casey afflect is supposedly going to shoot a documentary type movie about him and his transformation from actor to hip hop, that seems like a plug enough for me…

Hugo Boss, Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger… they all left the sponsored riding game to be them too. I bet you didn’t know that, did you?

This stunt / cleansing is the reason that I started Chris Duncan Clothing

Who has the fucking balls to strictly call a brand there first and last name.

obviously

someone that dose not give a shit.

This is me.

And I don’t care.

I left the sponsor game of bmx and now I can finally be me and ride for fun.

I love life.

I wanna do my stuff for all to think what ever they want .

Hell yeah! Reminds me of Scotty Whitlake bowing out of pro snowboarding at the peak of his career… just being done with it. There’s just something punk about J. Phoenix humbling himself to the point of becoming a laughingstock. Whether it’s a hoax or not, I want to hear the record.

I dunno if this is all a big scam or not, but I like his reasons for doing it. It’s interesting that an actor of this caliber came out and straight up said, “I’m tired of pretending to be other people. I am me.”

Makes you think about how so may of us put these people up on pedestals just for pretending to be other people.

I listen to basically only Hip-Hop, and I wold like to say, Joaquin Pheonix rapping is like Lil’ CEASE shooting Biggie.
