I’m not one to get all starstruck or fall in love with movie stars, but I have to admit I’ve always had a little crush on Joaquin Phoenix. He’s in a bunch of my favorite guilty pleasure films (Clay Pigeons, Inventing the Abbots, Quills, U-Turn ), films that are genuinely really good (To Die For, Hotel Rwanda, It’s All About Love) and he’s vegan and proud of it.
To celebrate his 34th birthday try going vegan today and watch his vegan supermarket ad below:
takepart with PETA and go after the jump for some of my fav Joaquin movie clips.

He’s been my secret celebrity crush for yrs. Im 10 yrs older than him and I still get giddy when I think of him. I’ve been reading things online about him that kinda disturb me. Like how he sleeps with all of his co-stars and dumps them when the movie is finished. Like how he’ll only date very very young debutante type girls from nyc with tons of daddy’s money. They all are certain types: meaning, brunette and very tiny. For him being a person who cares it really surprises me that he would be that shallow. Oh well I still appreciate the dedication and honesty he brings to his characters. I guess thats why he’s such an amazing actor cause he has us all fooled.
