JOAQUIN PHOENIX IN A "FACILITY"

He's mysterious. He intelligently keeps to himself. Hollywood can completely eat you up and make you a recluse. It can essentially tear you down and make you do what's necessary to deal. Or at least what you think may be necessary. Joaquin Phoenix is an extremely talented actor whom I respect wholeheartedly. I've been following Joaquin (with a close eye I might add) since he was a child actor and have seen him mature and blossom into a fine man. Joaquin (who's brother River Phoenix passed away years ago from a drug overdose) had his fair share of troubles and heartache in his personal life, so inevitably he was bound to break down. Joaquin checked himself into a "facility" recently, which probably explains why he hasn't been in the public eye of late. No word yet as to what he may have been addicted to, but I wish him well and hope he makes it out just fine. Forever Johnny Cash yo. [source]
