You Ain’t Goin’ Nowhere! Stars Who’ve Threatened To Quit The Business

- By

Joaquin Phoenix

Acting certainly runs in Joaquin Phoenix’s blood. Joining his sibling in the family business, Phoenix got his start before he was ten years old. But in 2008, Phoenix said he was leaving acting behind to focus on a more serious career: rapping. “This will be my last performance as an actor,” said the star. “I’m not doing films anymore…I’ve been through that. I’ve done it. I’m dead serious.” He further raised suspicion while appearing erratic on the “Late Show with David Letterman.” The Gladiator star finally revealed his questionable behavior was actually for a mockumentary he was filming about a former actor trying to pursue a rap career. I’m Still Here was released in 2010.
