But when it comes to Joaquin Phoenix, the Q in LGBTQ stands for just one thing: quitter.
Promise you this: No gay actor would ever pull out.
Why did Phoenix leave?
Allegedly, he got cold feet.
Danny Ramirez ofTop Gun: Maverickwas reportedly set to play his love interest.
There has been no comment from Phoenixs camp yet confirming why he left.
Joaquin was pushing it further into more dangerous territory, sexually, Haynes said at the time.
Lemme Go Berate This Quitter+.
It wouldnt surprise me to learn that hes always on the verge of walking out on productions.
Im not sure big-name actors ever understand the power they wield over these films.
At the same time, I wouldnt be surprised to learn that theres more to this story.
Why not just recast him?
How have the cast and crew responded?
(and for those of you who HAVE know that you are making a terrible situation even worse).
Others within the industry also seem hostile toward Phoenix over the incident.
Once Anderson was brought in, Phoenix acquiesced.
Okay, so … whats happening next?
She lost the case and it nearly destroyed her career.
I would not be surprised if Phoenix wound up getting seriously sued for this.
