Joaquin Phoenix made headlines last week when he announced that he would be “retiring from acting” in order to focus on things like music and … er, other stuff. To be honest, I didn’t really believe his proclamations at first but have since changed my mind. After all, Phoenix took to the red carpet of the premiere of his new (and final) movie Two Lovers in LA on Saturday night with the words Bye! Good scrawled on his knuckles to drive home the point. I guess he’s serious, y’all:

The writing on Joaquin Phoenix’s fists said it all. The words “Good Bye” were penned on the actor’s knuckles at a premiere Saturday night for his latest film, “Two Lovers,” and Phoenix confirmed a surprise announcement he made last week: He’s giving up movies. “I think it’s just moving on. It’s rediscovering something else,” said Phoenix, 34, said in an interview with Associated Press Television News before Saturday’s American Film Institute festival, which also premiered “Che,” starring Benicio Del Toro. “Two Lovers” is his last film, he said. His publicist had disclosed Friday that the actor intended to focus on music. Phoenix first mentioned his decision to “Extra” early last week at a fundraiser in San Francisco. He abruptly ended that interview after the reporter wondered whether he was joking about giving up acting for music. Phoenix learned to play guitar and did his own singing to play country legend Johnny Cash in “Walk the Line,” which earned him an Academy Award nomination. His publicist also said Phoenix has been directing music videos in recent years. “It’s like greener pastures, you know what I mean?” Phoenix said Saturday. “And so, I’m just going to try and like, I’ll just be doing the other thing. … Hopefully, I will emotionally impact you with that, as well.”

I mean, you know a man is serious about what he says when he takes the time to write it out on his knuckles with a Sharpie marker. I gotta say … altho Joaquin can be a bit of an odd bird (as the writing on his knuckles betray) he is a pretty spectacular actor. I thought he gave an amazing performance in Walk the Line and generally like his films overall. I’m not sure homie will enjoy as much success with his music career as he has with his acting career but … stranger things have happened. All I have to say to Joaquin on his new endeavor is, Luck! Good.
