Joaquin Phoenix On Meeting Johnny Cash | Late Night with Conan O’Brien
/ teamcoco - ตลก
It was Johnny Cash himself who specifically wanted Joaquin to play him in the movie. That's the ultimate compliment.
Joaquin should do a cover of Hurt, signing as Cash...I think it would be pretty good.
Anthony Campos oh shut up
True. I agree brotha
@@victorcoleman949 That would be soo 🔥🔥
@@agentcodydanks 😉
For some reason he seems alot more relaxed and comfortable with conan. Not like some of his other interviews. Its nice to see
sly jungle Many celebrities appear that way on Conan. I think Conan is just a more genuine person than the other late night hosts. I feel he honestly enjoys meeting new people and getting to know them beyond a surface level.
That's the power of Conan
They Understand Each Other Means Both Got European Origins
Because Conan is the only host that's actually good at his job.
Honestly Conan’s social skills are off the charts hence why he is such a good host. He has a very disarming charisma to him.
I feel like Conan is the only talk show host who should interview Joaquin. He always seemed more comfortable on Conan's show compared to others.
Was he also weird in most talkshows back then? I thought he was not awkward in this video because he wasn't awkward back then.
@@kenz2756 He wasn't weird back then just introverted as far as I've noticed. He's never been a fan of doing interviews on talk shows (which even Conan briefly mentions) and since the I'm Still Here film he's been deliberately messing with interviewers. But I personally don't mind how weird he is now, it makes the interviews unpredictable.
@@Missjunebugfreak Messing with the host just doesn't seem fun to me, makes me feel uncomfortable for the host lol. I can't imagine him ever doing that to conan though, I mean seriously, conan's made the most awkardest moment not awkward, I imagine if Joaquin messes with him conan would mess with him right back.
@@kenz2756 I think that's why it would work well with Conan, because he's able to roll with pretty much anything so if Joaquin tried to mess with him, it would just turn into something comedic. Conan knows how to improvise and bring out the best in a lot of his more introverted guests.
Joaquin doesn't like doing interviews that much and only does them when he has a film to promote. That is why his awkwardness comes off as weird or strange to some people. He cares more about the craft of acting and doing good work than just being famous and the need to be seen all the time.
He absolutely should have won an Oscar. Incredible performance.
He was robbed. Its the best performance I ever saw
@@Kat_x7 Also The Joker
Who cares cause Oscar’s are voted by a bunch of horrible people not the actual people that watch and love him
Sorry I started that out rudely
Who did he lost to?
"You're not awful, Conan."
haha get it
Everybody gangsta untill he pulls out a gun-
😆😆
Good ending
Me? I’m not awful? Oh yeah tell me how I’m not awful?
Now I'm nervous everytime i see Joaquin Phoenix on talkshows
im sure hes allowed to carry in most states, he is a gentleman after all.
@@JonnyUnderrated carry what now?
@@JonnyUnderrated yea wat?
@@kenz2756 a side arm. Possibly a small pistol like James Bond uses or a combat knife of some sort. probably 10 to twelve inches, serrated like Rambo used to have. prolly
@@simplyhriata9485 see my response to the other gentleman.
"I can't do the voice anymore"... followed by a PERFECT rendition of the voice
Yes, that was so funny!
He couldn't do Cash's voice in the film - not even his speaking voice! Listen to a Johnny Cash live album - St. Quentin is my favourite - and listen carefully when he says (as he always did) "Hello - my name's Johnny Cash". Then listen to Phoenix attempt that in the film - not even vaguely close. I can only assume that the people who were so impressed by Mr Phoenix in this film had no idea what Mr Cash sounded like, both singing & speaking. Such a waste....
@@stratman3237, who hurt you?
@@stratman3237 oh my god, Joaquin didnt perfectly recreate Johnny cash’s voice? What a big deal
Being that johnny cash is known for his voice (and lyrics) He sounded nothing like him
This man is criminally underrated as an actor, everything he’s done is nothing short incredible,
His Commodus in Gladiator is extraordinary...
Best actor of his time.
Lol he won a golden globe for walk the line. A golden globe and Oscar for Joker and you say he is underrated?
he's not underrated......
He is by far one of the best actor/human that is in Hollywood today. Walk The Line was phenomenal! JP is amazing..
Seeing Joaquin actually enjoy an interview is really refreshing. Shows Conan's class.
Conan is a masterclass on how to entertain antisocial people
Would love to see him interview someone like .. the pope or the queen .. lol
@@SundaysChild1966 I bet he'd probably adapt easily but yes that would be really interesting to see
@@TheEnergizer94 ah he could probably get them giggling after the formalities are out of the way!
I think you mean asocial, not antisocial. :)
@@ohwellwhateverr I think both applies to Joaquin Phoenix. He seems rather immature to me, and his behaviour is never challenged, just indulged. But maybe that lends itself to making a pretty great actor. Maybe he just has psychological disabilities.
Conan is a step above other late night hosts and this is a great example of why. Instead of being negative or dismissive of Joaquin’s eccentricity (the language thing), he embraces it wholeheartedly and encourages Phoenix, making him feel more at home.
Conan is pretty social awkward too, something he was self aware of growing up. It’s made him much more empathetic to guys like Joaquin
Love man
I feel the love 😭🤣💜✔️
I gotta be honest, i really liked Joaquins voice, incredible that he sung every song.
I actually began to prefer his singing over the original
@@custerranch You need to get your ears tested my friend!
@@stratman3237 - ever heard of a thing called an ✨opinion✨, genius?
@@custerranch not gonna lie same here,love Johnny cash but the duets with Reese are on a whole other level
@@plymouthfury6840 you’re on crack , you should not be allowed to consume music , cash’s voice is 1/1
They gave Reese Witherspoon an Oscar for a playing a plucky southern girl, which is who she actually is, but ignored this man’s astonishing performance.
You nailed it, brother! 🎯🙌 And Reese was that year’s Marisa Tomei. 😉😂😂
I think they both should have won Joaquin for Lead and Reese for Supporting they were both astonishing. Phillip Seymour Hoffman won that year for Capote but I actually think Phillip should have won for The Master and Doubt
I agree. Joaquin DESERVED that Oscar! He was amazing…..
Still Reese did amazing having watched this film and the Joker I prefer him getting the Oscar for the Joker as he was amazing in that while he was great in this similar to Reese they both did great. Where as in the Joker he stole the show.
Yeah stinks
This is one of the few interviews were Mr. Joaquin Phoenix is comfortable. Great work Conan
Well he seemed pretty comfortable with Robert di Nero
@@muhammadhilmiramadhan3556 I spelled it wrong, big deal
@@connormcgannon4918 it is, Conner.
@@UltimateBrofist13 oh I see what you did there
Exactly!!!
I have loved Joaquin Pheonix's acting ability ever since Gladiator.
Same here buddy
@@tanzudorje8010 He was so memorable there. I hadn't seen any of his films until Her came out and then, even like 10 years later, I recognized it's the same actor. I think it's the intensity of his acting plus how his eyes+eyebrows look.
Well it might have also been the fact that I was about 12 years old when I saw that very sadistic, but also weirdly attractive character and it might have left a mark :D
nolinagirlaSia.link
Same 😻😍
For me it was the depressed character he played in Two Lovers...he’s really a great actor
This guy is on another level. His Johnny Cash roll was fantastic. After the Joker, there was no possible denial. He is the actor of his generation.
totally agree
Kind of excessive since you don’t really get to see others play the same role.
one of his best and earliest --- Too Die For with Kidman
4:49 that impression of Johnny Cash was incredibly accurate. Not only Joaquin was able to play the young Johnny Cash on Walk the Line, he would be perfect playing the Man in Black during his late years. Such an talented actor
JOHNNY PICKED HIM TO PLAY HIM
Lmao
5:40 this one was better
@@Kinobambino 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
@@brett1900 🔥
Joaquin truly should’ve won an Oscar for Walk The Line!! 🖤
Joaquin played Jonny Cash beautifully.
Conan realizes that laughter is something people should do together on the same level. He doesn’t try to poke fun or get a cheap laugh. And he’s so warm and friendly and down to earth.
He's confident in his self as well as comedy. Rare.
He really deserved to win the Oscar for the Johnny Cash portrayal. Such a talented person.
Thanks for your continuous love and support ❤❤ how long have you been a fan?
Hes an interesting person and he might be shy but hes not afraid to be who he is. Thats pretty cool.
I don’t think that’s shyness.
@@NAConen It's anxiety. He suffers from anxiety. He has told it.
@@marianariva1664 i would imagine most shy people are also anxious.
It’s always exciting to see a Joaquin Phoenix interview. You never know what to expect.
F. N. Lorter That’s an understatement
Wait till he draws the gun
Like a box of chocolate’s
@@ajohnares ph
@Wōdanaz 💚🖤🧡🙏🏻
Joaquin absolutely killed this roll. Singing perfectly instead of being dubbed. Instant classic, and his, along with Reese Witherspoon, ended up creating a wonderful album themselves doing their versions of Johnny and June's tunes. I watched this movie the other day and realized that Joaquin lost his brother, as did Johnny, and I think that was a big reason they were so similar. This movie is amazing, Joaquin is amazing, and Johnny was an absolute legend. Rest in peace
No disrespect to June as she was a truly talented individual, but Reese’s singing sounds fantastic in the recordings for this movie. I got the soundtrack and I was truly impressed by Reese. Joaquin sounds really solid as well, but Johnny could sing his ass off, whereas June was more of an all around entertainer if my memory serves.
@@Thor-Orion Yeah, June didn't sound as great in real life as Witherspoon makes her seem to be.
This should have been his 1st Oscar!
Welcome to the world River Phoenix Jr. may the spirit of his wonderfully talented uncle watch over him. Congratulations to Mr. Phoenix and Ms. Rooney Mara.
I didn’t even know they were a thing
Wait they named the baby River!? 😭😭😭😭😭
@@annabanananaaaa Yes, they have been together since 2016 and are engaged. They are very low key.
@@cedarwho7 Yes,so sweet!! 🍼❤️
@@annabanananaaaa or so the Germans would have us believe...
I love how eccentric Joaquin Phoenix comes across. I like talented weird people
Conan is actually incredibly intelligent. He goes with the flow of whoever he's interviewing and then gets back on track as needed appearing easygoing and laid back. I envy him so much. He's constantly thinking and never misses a beat. I adore him.
ALWAYS makes his guest feel comfortable. A lot of talks how hosts wouldn't know how to handle for example Joaquin making those jibberish noises let alone play into the joke like Conan did so well
Well he went to Harvard
@@bibble6785 That's why Neil Gorsuch is so funny.
Holy shit. Grow up!
Are you high!??!
joaquin and rooney named their baby river after joaquin's late brother, river phoenix🥺❤️
My two brothers named their kids after our brother Daniel (1985-2001), one is a middle name, and the other a first name. And if I ever have a son, his middle name will also be Dan =.)
❤❤❤
Don't make me cry. Plzz no.
꧁Saori ꧂ aww, that's beautiful!
beautiful tribute to his wonderful brother 🥺
Conan def took care of Jaoquin here, he knows he is an eccentric genius, and treats him like it.
0:53 as someone from Finland, I think i speak for all of us when i say that we really appreciate Joaquin taking the time to translate what he says to us at Finland too.
Ok well what did he say? Translate it back
Such a talented actor!!
Yass. I am a big fan of River so watching Joaquin act is like watching River. He deserves all his awards.
Yep!
Joaquin is an amazing actor, him and Reese did an amazing job with the movie.
Absolutely no doubt.
I have watched Walk the Line like 20 x's it's my favorite movie of all time... They couldn't of picked a better actor to portray the Great Johnny Cash ... Hands down Joaquin is a amazing actor 👍
Couldn’t of?
@@TheHungryPigeon LOL GRAMMAR APOLICE 😅😅Does it pay
well????
As a lifelong fan of Johnny Cash - I loved Joaquin's portrayal of Cash in Walk The Line - you truly forget that you are watching an actor - you know it of course - but the line blurs so much - it feels so authentic. Still amazed that he & Reese sang - they did a great job!
He did a an excellent job playing Johnny Cash. I also loved his acting in "Signs". He's quite talented.
Joaquin actually looks like he’s having fun on this interview. Great actor.
Joaquin Phoenix: "Ah, I can't do Johnny Cash's voice anymore."
Also Joaquin Phoenix: _Proceeds with a flawless Cash impression_
I didn’t even realize they’d done any interviews together. I’ve never seen Joaquin so talkative and relaxed. Almost every single interview he’s done has been kind of awkward because of his social anxieties, etc. He’s admitted he hates talking about himself/his job. Conan did a wonderful job putting him at ease!
LOL, he even did the little vocal quiver of Johnny. Too funny.
Hello how are you doing?? Hope you’re having a great day’s
Joaquin Phoenix, in my opinion, should have 3 oscars by now: Best Supporting Actor for Gladiator", Best Actor for "Walk Thr Line" & Best Actor for "Joker".
Joaquin has to be the greatest Actor we have seen since Brando.
Joaquin is just soooo talented 😄
He was GREAT in the role!
Oscar winning performance in this movie. Incredibly rare master class acting. 🎭
Conan really handled this interview well.. I don't think I've ever seen JP so comfortable and willing to speak on an interview before
He deserved the Oscar for this role!
So happy for Joaquin and rooney mara for the birth of their new baby♥️ they named him river, and it's so adorable 💖
❤👶🏻🍼😊
@@joana9039 OMG I love your channel 🥰
@@ahuman3538 Aww! 🥰 Thank you, sweetie! 😍❤☺
@@joana9039 anytime babe ❤️☺️
@@ahuman3538 💓
When we watch this some of us didn't even thought and realize that it was aired 15 years ago, it was just like yesterday, time flies so fast indeed.
I don't think people realize how much of a troll Joaquin is. They assume he's nervous and anxious, and don't see how he's entertaining himself.
Agree 100%, yet he seemed relaxed here!!
@@kitcobain444 😉
Exactly! 😊
You can tell he is shy and not much of an interview guy. But Conan vibes well with 'awkward' guests (see Aubrey Plaza)
@@kitcobain444 Relaxed ? He's totally stoned/drunk !
Hope Joaquin one day comes on his podcast. He seems more relaxed here than any other talk show.
He really was Johnny Cash. That was an amazing film.
I’m so glad Joaquin finally got an Oscar [deservedly so] for The Joker & that Reese got one for this role, but I will never understand how he didn’t get one specifically for his amazing performance as Cash. Every time I see the film, I can’t stop thinking about how much he deserved it... I’m sure he was wondering what was there I did wrong to not get it after all the prep, depths he went to, etc to so accurately portray the good & bad in Johnny’s life. That’s why I can’t comprehend how he lost-there wasn’t anything wrong (except for some inaccuracies in the script, but that has nothing to do with him & obviously didn’t get in the way of Reese winning for playing June plus as a film student myself I can understand why they made some of those changes for cinematic reasons).
I mean, Reese played June fantastically too but Joaquin’s portrayal of Johnny was just so on Mark & deep... not to mention all his own personal connections to the character that must have been a very hard emotional journey for himself as he played Johnny. He literally put his whole entire self into playing JR (& the Joker too of course which just highlights his talent & emotional sacrifices as an actor since we all know how tasking that character is to play psychologically especially from Heath Ledger, yet another deserving Oscar and that’s an understatement), but for all of that he so deserved winning that one.
Hollywood seems to always get the awards wrong when it’s obvious who should win. It’s like that purposely select someone that shouldn’t or couldn’t win just to show they have the power over the awards not the big budget movies 99% of people watch and love.
@@michaelgibsontv The only they got it right was the Lord of the Rings movies.
It's political imo. There are things going on behind the scenes at Hollywood you could not comprehend
Ah please. It is only because Phillip Seymour Hoffman won that year for Capote. Phoenix just was against such a heavyweight.
Yeah there are older, more famous actors who never won, and maybe got an honorary Oscar, but it's a vote, and in acting I think just copying the character ain't enough....like a pink floyd cover band, any decent musician really can play the same musical notes, it's just copying. And a good question is...y did Reece win? Was she a better June than the other guy playing Cash, no.
*This man did such a Stellar job on that role, words can't describe the talent that took.*
Thanks for your continuous love and support ❤ how long have you been a fan of mine?
ahhhh, two lovely gentlemen
Loved Joaquin since Gladiator. Found Commodous attractive in a rather weird, twisted way. And he loves animals, so he’s a top bloke in my book.
Well, you can be my princess of the future, if you like 😉
He's been great in every role he chooses. Top notch talent
Stopped counting the number of times I’ve watched Walk the Line. Thank you! 👏👏👏
Nobody has ever and will ever approach Conan's genius at conducting interviews. What a legend.
Proud to say I was there live for this show. After being a hardcore fan for 12 years, I got to see Conan in person
Its hard not to like jaaquin phonix, its nice to see someone whos socially akward or different, be so successful and dedicated to his craft, in a industry full of fake people, and egotistical people where half the time its not about the art or even artistic its just about a image, so huge respect to jaquin
Lol Joaquin looks so comfortable here.
He is a cross between Johnny Cash and Elvis, Love him !!
Joaquin is so humble. A true man and hasn't let fame go to his head. Amen to you Joaquin, and Conan you make me laugh everytime. Best talk show host ever !
Joaquin Phoenix role of Johnny Cash and Jamie Foxx portrayal of Ray Charles will forever be my favorite biopic’s.
CONAN did a super-fantastic job here in that he is the Only person I have ever seen interview Jaquin Phoenix & was able to bring out his funny, conversational personality.
4:08 The meeting with Cash part.
THAT'S HARVARD IQ RIGHT THERE. I HAVEN'T SEEN A JOAQUIN PHOENIX INTERVIEW GO THIS WELL.
You can definitely tell that interviewing with Conan was something he was comfortable with and showed him respect. I don't blame him for treating everyone else the way he does. You watch Fallon and it's absolutely fake. Conan is the best!!!
Conan was so good in this interview. I would have been speechless and so awkward. Conan rolled with the language thing and went there mentally and really respected who Joaquin really is.
No body else could have been Johnny Cash but Joaquin Phoenix, except for Johnny Cash himself.
Phoenix is a ultra grand actor. Scares me sometimes on talk shows, but Conan is just Conan and he makes people relax. Great host.
Joaquin Phoenix used to be so much nicer - in this video he acts really happy - lately he has become so tense and stressed -since he won the Oscar which he should have won years ago
it is nice to see him happy and relaxed in this video. Thanks for posting!
Joaquin. Is. My. Number. One. Favorite. Actor. Love. Him he. He. Dud. A. Good. Job. In. Walk. The. Line. Movie
Thanks. For. Your. Continuous. Love. And. Support❤❤ How. Long. Have. You. Been. A. Fan. Of. Mine.
Aired in '05 when most of the country still had CRT TVs with 4:3 aspect ratios, but the HD conversion had begun so we're blessed w/ crisp HD video to enjoy here on youtube in 2020 :D
"Do you ever actualy leave the studio CO-NAN"
Joaquin’s ‘I don’t wanna use much energy talking with you’ accent is always cool af.
This guy looks like he can play the joker
I don’t see it
No he would suck, the movie would be terrible
He would definitely not win an oscar
@httydgirl74
The joke
-------------->
Your head
@httydgirl74 OMG NO WAY THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TELLING ME
I have loved Joaquin's acting ever since Letterman
THE greatest actor of our generation. Please can they make more movies worthy of his talent
He should have won the oscar for best actor.. I think he did a fantastic job of playing Johnny Cash..
I grew up listening to Johnny Cash on the radio and the LPs and 45s we had. When I watched this movie I was absolutely blown away by how uncannily close Joaquin's version of Cash was to the Man in Black himself, especially the singing and facial expressions when he sang. Same for Reece's acting as June. Have watched the movie several times and each time is as good as the first. This guy is one hell of an actor and unlike many of them at his level, humble as could be and hates talking about himself. Conan respected that by introducing the clip, that's a class act for a host.
I have watched Walk the Line a dozen times and I’m looking forward to the next. Joaquin is thrilling. And, before I saw it the first time and heard Reese was playing June Carter Cash, I thought, really? She’s such a petite little thing; can she pull off a robust woman like June? She didn’t just pull it off; she made a believer out of me. And the guy who played Jerry Lee Lewis; wow! What a cast. What a director. One of my favorite movies of all time.
That has got to be one of the best performances EVER ON FILM.
"He was a fan of this movie I did called Gladiator".....he's talking about it like it was some small movie that no one saw and wasn't one of the biggest blockbusters of the 2000s and won 5 oscars including Best Picture lol. Cool to see a humble actor out there. I don't completely agree with Joaquin on everything politically, but I've always admired him for being very humble and he's always seemed like a great guy. I'd watch any movie he's in.
I thought the same thing lol. One of the best movies of all time(and my favorite movie), one of the best acting performances of all time(by he himself), and he is like "yeah I did a movie a few years back, called Gladiator" lol
He’s an excellent actor. Joaquin is one talented dude.
I love joaquin so much he is such an incredible actor very charismatic and strong
Thanks for your continuous love and support ♥️♥️ how long have you been a fan of mine?
Joaquin is the most unpredictable guest
This is the most coherent Joaquin has been in an interview. I wish I could hang out with him. I imagine he’s so chill off camera.
That's the greatest actor alive right now! When that man is laid to rest, the world will say this. His acting abilities in Parenthood when he was a kid, shows how he was far above the adult actors.
Im literally binge watching Joaquin's interview and this got recommended to me, what a nice day❤️
6:56 "This sounds great" and "I just really enjoy it" - 2 good senses of humor. Great interview
The work put in by this man… wow
Walk the line is my favorite film cant believe he didn't get an oscar
Joaquin Phoenix has superb acting skills. He doesn't need an Oscar, Oscar needs Joaquin.
Talk show hosts are more cautious around Joaquin because they know he’s introverted
This guy is a real actor - very dynamic and not a one note Johnny
It is awesome to see Phoenix in this interview. And yes, that movie was incredible.
I love Joaquin, he's so real and no bullshit and very talented and smart.
Jaquan Phoenix is the best Actor ever. So talented.
Thanks for your continuous love and support ❤ how long have you been a fan of mine?
I thought it was him(Joaquin Phoenix) didn’t know his name, I know now? 😮 truly an awesome , talented, one of a kind . Did an awesome role playing Johnny Cash.
when he made Gladiator he was ~26, and for johnny cash he was just 30-31... amazing actor at such a young age.
