CASEY AND JOAQUIN FLY FOR FILM

Casey Affleck was seen checking into LAX International Airport today (February 10) with some camera equipment as he prepares to direct a documentary about his brother-in-law and “retired” actor Joaquin Phoenix and his transition from acting to the music world.

Upon going through security, Casey appeared to struggle while removing his sweater, revealing his midsection and a peek-a-boo portion of his Calvin Klein underwear. A disheveled Joaquin arrived separately and looks a bit worn for wear. And by “worse for wear” we mean he looked like a homeless caveman.

Meanwhile, the Walk the Line actor is once again opening up about his foray into rap music and that rancid little beard.

“I love the storytelling aspects of hip-hop, but I love the wordplay, as well,” Mr. Phoenix says in a new interview of his music career. “I just think the rhyming is fantastic, and I love, like, the raw emotion of it.” He adds: “No matter how good it is, people are going to … make fun of me. It’s just impossible. It’s just not going to happen, but I can’t worry about that. What I was focusing on was the song and trying to make the show as good as possible.”

As for the unsightly facial hair? “I’m not going with a look,” the former heartthrob reveals. “Part of it is in some ways, it’s very hard, especially when you’re talking about music, to get away from Johnny Cash. In some ways, I’m aware that I need to kind of, I need to alter that persona. I need to alter my public persona in some ways so that people are going to be open to receiving me for what it is that I’m doing now…. I don’t know that this is my look. I mean, I just have a beard.”

    And he “just” hasn’t washed or brushed his hair in what looks like several months. And not just his hair, he does look like he smells like feet. And smelly armpits.

    The whole “homeless caveman” look & persona is such a joke. He’s totally takin’ the piss of the film industry by getting everyone to actually believe that this is all for REAL!! Come on, people! If he was really having a hard time, we would hear about it AND someone, like Casey, who happens to be family by marriage, would most definitely step in & help. Let’s see how long this can go undetected…
