The problem is, who really cares about Joaquin Phoenix? This guy is WAY overvaluing his importance and as a result this hoax really ends up being a joke on him. Other than people in the industry, who really thought about this dude at any time between maybe a week after the original interview, and when news surfaced that he was coming back to Letterman? My thoughts, and probably most people's thoughts, were "oh he quit acting to rap ... that's odd ... but whatever".
If it was a legitimately big actor in a pop culture sense doing this it would be another story, but Joaquin Phoenix doesn't have the importance to pull off a hoax like this.
