St. Petersburg 2nd Krasnoarmeyskaya St. It often transforms into new images, changing greatly externally, for example, gaining dozens of extra pounds. Indifferent to recognition and cinematic awards, while highly quoted among colleagues and directors. The owner of the Oscar for the main male role in the film "Joker". His maternal grandfather emigrated to the United States from Russia.

In his new homeland, he met a native of Hungary. They got married, and the mother of the future actor Arlin was born. In childhood, Joaquin Phoenix left her husband, the secretary and a steppe life for the sake of searching for something big and a trip to America Hitchhiker. On this trip, Arlin met John Bottom, with whom the romance developed rapidly. The couple was combined with the bonds of marriage and joined either the sect or to the Hippi group “Children of God”, and gradually acquired five children.

The family of Joaquin Phoenix Hoacin is the third child in seniority. The oldest was the brother of River, also three girls grew up in the family: Rain, Summer and Liberty. Khoakin envied his brother and sisters with unusual names from English by their names are translated as a river, rain, summer and freedom and demanded that his relatives call his bodice that is, a sheet.

And when the family moved to the United States, he has repeatedly encountered how difficult the pronunciation of the name of Hoacin to ordinary Americans is given. Hoacin has an innate ailment, which, however, only adds charm to him - the hare lip, that is, the splitting of the upper lip. Shram Hoacin Phoenix, in fact, the hare of the Cult “Children of God” promoted unnatural sexual practices.

For example, River Phoenix claimed that he had lost his virginity at four years old. After that, the family left the "children of God." They were lucky to leave in time, since later, really terrible and strange things began to happen in the cult, for example, women were lured into the sect using new members using their body. But this no longer worried Bottom. To mark the new stage, they changed their surname and became phoenixes - "reborn." The newly made phoenixes decided to settle in Florida.

But the large family was very poor, there was no money for tickets. Parents persuaded a familiar priest to take them on an old cargo ship and hide them there. In the middle of the journey, the ship’s team discovered the “hares”, but took pity on the poor. On this barge, Hoacin met a fourth birthday. According to a happy coincidence, the ship transported toys, and the crew decided to give a couple to the birthday man.

Having moved to Los Angeles, the Joacin family changed her name Arlin quickly found the work of the secretary on the NBC channel, and John began to landscaping garden and park sites. The children decided to "attach" to show business. Mom found an agent for children, Iris Berton is the only one who agreed to represent their interests. Khoakin continued to work with her at all stages of his career and in the future.

I had to choose in which advertisement I had to carefully: Phoenixes-vegetarians and in this the whole family was convinced by 4-year-old Joaquin and animal rights fighters. They did not agree to act in videos promoting goods that contradicted their ideologies. He had a safe career in Hollywood. Even the debut role of Joaquin on TV was on the series “Seven Brides for the Seven Brothers”, where River also played.

Although shortly before that, at 10 years old, under the pseudonym, the Lif Phoenix, together with his brother, starred in a training video about the peculiarities of raising children with dyslexia. Joakin did not graduate the little River and Joaquin Phoenix in the film about children with dyslexia, throwing classes in adolescence. In X, the actor was content mainly with episodes in series and small roles in the cinema.

The most famous projects of this period “She wrote the murder”, “Russians”, “Parents” Joakin Phoenix in the series “She wrote a murder” in the year River Phoenix died of an overdose of drugs in the eyes of her brother - it was Joaquin and asked for an ambulance to come to the night club where the tragedy took place. This event knocked Hoacin from everyday life.

He could not recover for more than a year and did not want to act. He was helped by the director Gus Van Saint, who had previously worked with River, to return to the profession. Joaquin Phoenix in the film “Die in the Name” before establishing himself in the status of not just a promising, but truly talented actor, Hoacin starred in the “Turn” of Oliver Stone and in 8 millimeters of Joel Shumacher.

Khoakin Phoenix in his youth flowering of his career, the starry hour of Joaquin came after the screens of the “Gladiator”, Phoenix appeared with a colorful and contradictory Roman emperor Komod - the character of the character of Russell Crowe. The actor did not look at the genre or the amount of the fee, everyone determined the script and a personal meeting with the director. Without the last point, Phoenix simply did not sign a contract.

Watching his heroes on the screens, the audience did not know how hard work preceded them. So, in the year, Hoacin got the role of a fireman in the film "Team 49".Preparing for the role, he joined the real fire brigade and not only went to calls with them, but took an active part in the fire extinguishing. The biggest praise was warm words from the former comrades-fuckers who considered his character as convincing as possible.

Khoakin and Cache are absolutely not similar - neither externally nor in character. To reincarnate the musician, the actor, he said, crossed himself. For several months he meticulously studied the biography of the cache, for a minute he did not let the guitar out of his hands, asked his colleagues exclusively to Johnny, ignoring attempts to turn to him by the present name.

And when they shot the scene in prison, he forbade giving food to the statists so that their anger in the frame would be believable. Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon “Perefoning the Line” brought Joaquin a mass of awards, in addition to the “Golden Globe”, and this caused the actor irritation: he called the cinema awards “Complete Brech”. After the "lovers", Hoacin announced his desire to leave the film business.

After some time, he came to the David of Letterman, pretty gaining weight, with a thick beard, behaved rather strangely and announced a new round of his creative activity - reading rap. The public has long discussed what was happening with Phoenix. As a result, it turned out that all this is part of the filming of the pseudo -domestic film by Kasei Affleck “I'm still here” and he led everyone by the nose for a whole year and a half!

In the year, Hoacin played in the film “Lovers” about “Master” Phoenix loves to joke that Paul Thomas Anderson probably saw him in “I am still here” and decided: “This guy is crazy, and will surely agree to any madness that I will offer. We must hire it. ” Separately, Khoakin notes cooperation with Philip Seymour Hoffman, as he considers him one of the best actors of his generation.

In this film, Hoacin plays a cruel veteran of war, stupefied by the ideas of a destructive sect. Sometimes he “forgot” to leave the image and crushed the set, causing injuries to himself. And once he went to the dentist and asked to put special metal brackets on his teeth, which fettered a smile. For his role he was nominated for an Oscar, which again caused his awkwardness: "Such rewards are always the result of collective work, and only." The frame from the film "Master" finally removed the more risky choice of roles from the Phoenix.

He did not think long before he agreed to shoot in “She” - the story of the erased boundaries between reality and virtual reality. The frame from the film "Irrational Man" for some time Phoenix went into the shadow. He carefully chose projects and was looking for a director with whom he had not yet worked, but could get along. Lynn Ramsey came up in all respects. Working on “you have never been here,” they were absolutely one wave.

For example, during the filming of the scene in the pool, the actor was not in a hurry to enter the water too much, because he does not like to do this, Lynn plunged into the pool in clothes and called after him, forcing the Phoenix to be liberated. The picture was well accepted by critics. During the Palma branch in Cannes in the “Best Male Role”, Hoacin did not think about the winnings, and when they said his name from the stage, he did not immediately go beyond the prize, having previously clarified the results of Runi Mary.

From an early age, I have an allergy to - what is it called there? .. I answered questions about the features of preparation for such a role that I was guided by its usual rules for working in projects. In addition to the scrupulous study of the biography of Christ, he exhausted himself with hunger strikes to lose any reminder of the Hollywood gloss. Foenix to act with them, according to him, was comfortable and exciting.

The main project of Hoacin for a year, no doubt, was the Joker. Until recently, it seemed that this image to the screens was the hit Ledger, but the film released in the fall forced fans to admire the Phoenix, corresponding to this complex role. This is a tragic story about a person who is not accepted by society, and this attitude eventually turns the soundless comedian Arthur Flex into a madman-maniac.

For this role, Hoacin dropped 24 kilograms and rehearsed sinister laughter for a long time. The actor’s efforts brought him an “Oscar” in the category of “best male role”. After the success of the Joker, Phoenix could follow the path of large blockbusters, but remained faithful to himself - he continued to choose unusual and deep roles. In the year, the premiere of the short film “Keepers of Life”, dedicated to the problem of forest fires and climatic changes, took place.

In it, the actor played the role of a doctor who saves the life of a girl who suffered during a large fire. The episode of the short film “Keepers of Life” and in the year he starred in the chamber drama “Kamon Kamon”, playing a radio journalist who travels around the United States with his little nephew. The film received enthusiastic reviews of critics for his sincerity and warmth.

A frame from the film “Kamon Kamon” was released in the year the historical Epic “Napoleon” Ridley Scott, in which the role of the French emperor went to Phoenix.His interpretation of Bonaparte turned out to be very unconventional - the actor showed not only the great commander, but also a person with his weaknesses and contradictions. Joaquin Phoenix in the image of Napoleon Bonaparte, in the fall of the year, Joakin, a master of reincarnation, struck fans with another change in the image.

He turned out and shaved part of his hair to play the main role in the Horror of Ari Arister is known for the films “Reincarnation”, “Solstice” “All the Fear of Bo”. Joaquin Phoenix is ​​preparing for the role in “All the fears of Bo” the film was released in the year and was very different from the previous work of the director. In this picture, Phoenix transforms into a person’s alarm to the paranoidality named Bo Wasserman.

He lives alone, suffers from many phobias and is under the constant control of the hyper -beeping mother.
