Joaquin Phoenix to Eva Mendes: ‘I’m Not a Puppy Dog’

Joaquin Phoenix is reportedly miffed at his “We Own the Night” co-star Eva Mendes for a recent quip she made about him.

Eva supposedly told reporters at a press conference for the film that Joaquin was like “a puppy dog” during filming because he was frequently hyper.

But Joaquin reportedly tells the new issue of Playboy, “My apologies, Eva, but I had a few other scenes that you weren't in. This puppy dog had a lot of work to do."

Considero que Joaquin es un actor excelente. Me encanta como interpreta los papeles que asume. Ahora bien, no creo que Eva Mendez merecia esa actitud de su parte, fue excesiva. Uno debe tomar en cuenta que esa es la personalidad que el actor ha presentado al publico, es decir, de una persona con opiniones fuertes sin importar a quienes hieran, pero creo que en este caso a el simplemente no le agrada la actriz. En favor de eva, quien no es mi preferida, pero como persona ha demostrado, por lo que se ve, ser una persona que no gusta de agredir a sus compañeros actores, debo decir que no tiene porque sentirse mal. El tiene mas trabajo, tiene mas tiempo en el cine, asi que tiene mas escenas, mientras que eva, que admite estar aprendiendo incluso de joaquin, tambien tiene sus escenas. Y yo soy una que no creo que le esten pagando solo por como se ve, ya que hay muchisimas mujeres hermosas en hollywood que podian haber hecho el papel, asi que por algo la contrataron.

Mal por joaquin, por no contener sus emociones y dejar salir lo peor de sus pensamientos.

Eva needs to watch herself. Like a few others said, Joaquin is an “A Listed” Actor who can write his own ticket. I also have heard he is a real sweetheart but can be a real pill if he’s rubbed the wrong way.
Eva needs to go to the back of the class, shut up, and sit down!

Eva is a horrible actress she was lucky to even be chosen to act next to anybody she should be lucky to even considered for a role in a porn

Eva who? LOL
Joaquin is definately an A-list actor…does Eva even act or is she supposed to be “getting by” on her looks? She’s not even pretty enough to go on her looks!

Eve thinks she is so cute. Comparing Joaquin Phoenix to a two year old, and a puppy dog?? Who has the ego??? I am glad that Joaquin Phoenix stood up for himself and made that remark. Phoenix is a dynamic performer, and she should count her lucky stars to even grace a sceen with him.

She is a horrible actress (I use loosely), and from that remark she made about Joaquin Phoenix, she has THE EGO.

First of all, Joaquin is an “A” list actor. Why would you pair him with Eva who is a really bad, bad, bad, actress? Joaquin should be paired only with the “A” listers because only an “A” lister would appreciate his dedication and hard work.
