Umm..if he had wanted to quit acting because he didn’t win the oscar..he would have quit a few years ago. But nice try.

“Can you say “deuchebag”!

- DOUG”

Can you spell “douche bag?” Apparently not.

Its a sad day when such a talented actor decides to walk away from his gift. Few actors bring a character to life like Joaquin. I’m no movie critic but the roles he has played are believable and thats the connection for any movie goer. Oh well I guess I will have to listen to his music instead. If its anything like his Johnny Cash role, WOW!

Who cares? Can you say hair-lip? He is gross!

What?? Why!?!

I doubt being pissed for not winning the Oscar has anything to do with his decision…how lame…..but he did deserve to win that Oscar more so than any of his contenders…he did a fabulous job in Walk the Line.

Hope so too Theresa, it would be great for him!

You know it’s just cause he’s pissed he didn’t win an Oscar for Walk the Line…

First off, it’s spelled douche-bag, but since your a guy, we’ll overlook it. However, why say that? He can do whatever he wants same as you. He’s one of the good guys and I think it’s great that he’s decided to spread his talent around. He’s been in the movies for most of his life - remember him in Parenthood with Steve Martin - he was only about 12 in that movie. Given the path that his brother River took, I’d say he’s turned out to be a pretty smart guy and there really isn’t anything bad to say about him. Good luck to him!

this sucks. he is one of my favorite actors

This just reeks of ‘Being John Malkovich’.

How is he a deuchbag for not wanting to make movies anymore? Thats just rude. I wish him the best in his future music career.

Check him out with Vince Vaughn in “Return to Paradise”. Unbelievable performance. My boyfriend thinks the same with me. He is eight years older than me. lol. We met online at Agelessmatch.com , a nice place for younger women and older men, or older women and younger men, to interact with each other.

I agree its a shame he’s such a talented actor, however, when its not “fun” anymore you should quit. Plus maybe he needs the chance to explore what else he’s good at..Besides I can see where you have to go on talk shows and be asked the same stupid questions or questions that are personal. Then you have people always taking pictures, always in your business, sometimes enough is enough… He’ll be greatly missed as an actor for future films, but is emortalized on his past achievements..Who knows maye we’ll see some great music from him.. I wish him the best..

He’s an exceptional actor, but he’s trying to get his personal life together. I’m sure he wants a family life, and it’s hard in today’s society to maintain a healthy relationship. He has to follow his passion.

I thought he was a great young actor. I too hope he changes his mind and does not dismiss acting all together.

Can you say “deuchebag”!

Too bad….he is an exceptionally talented actor…really hard to find talent like his today. I hope he changes his mind.

Its a shame. What a waste of talent. His role in Gladiator still gives me chills….I had thought hed make a good villian for one of the Batman movies.
