Joaquin Phoenix On Meeting Johnny Cash | Late Night with Conan O’Brien

[@anthonycampos8057]

It was Johnny Cash himself who specifically wanted Joaquin to play him in the movie. That's the ultimate compliment.

[@TubbyBrewster11]

Honestly Conan’s social skills are off the charts hence why he is such a good host. He has a very disarming charisma to him.

[@Missjunebugfreak]

I feel like Conan is the only talk show host who should interview Joaquin. He always seemed more comfortable on Conan's show compared to others.

[@kenz2756]

Was he also weird in most talkshows back then? I thought he was not awkward in this video because he wasn't awkward back then.

[@Missjunebugfreak]

@@kenz2756 He wasn't weird back then just introverted as far as I've noticed. He's never been a fan of doing interviews on talk shows (which even Conan briefly mentions) and since the I'm Still Here film he's been deliberately messing with interviewers. But I personally don't mind how weird he is now, it makes the interviews unpredictable.

[@kenz2756]

@@Missjunebugfreak Messing with the host just doesn't seem fun to me, makes me feel uncomfortable for the host lol. I can't imagine him ever doing that to conan though, I mean seriously, conan's made the most awkardest moment not awkward, I imagine if Joaquin messes with him conan would mess with him right back.

[@Missjunebugfreak]

@@kenz2756 I think that's why it would work well with Conan, because he's able to roll with pretty much anything so if Joaquin tried to mess with him, it would just turn into something comedic. Conan knows how to improvise and bring out the best in a lot of his more introverted guests.

[@melaniep6964]

Joaquin doesn't like doing interviews that much and only does them when he has a film to promote. That is why his awkwardness comes off as weird or strange to some people. He cares more about the craft of acting and doing good work than just being famous and the need to be seen all the time.

Conan is a step above other late night hosts and this is a great example of why. Instead of being negative or dismissive of Joaquin’s eccentricity (the language thing), he embraces it wholeheartedly and encourages Phoenix, making him feel more at home.

Joaquin absolutely killed this roll. Singing perfectly instead of being dubbed. Instant classic, and his, along with Reese Witherspoon, ended up creating a wonderful album themselves doing their versions of Johnny and June's tunes. I watched this movie the other day and realized that Joaquin lost his brother, as did Johnny, and I think that was a big reason they were so similar. This movie is amazing, Joaquin is amazing, and Johnny was an absolute legend. Rest in peace

[@Thor-Orion]

No disrespect to June as she was a truly talented individual, but Reese’s singing sounds fantastic in the recordings for this movie. I got the soundtrack and I was truly impressed by Reese. Joaquin sounds really solid as well, but Johnny could sing his ass off, whereas June was more of an all around entertainer if my memory serves.

I’m so glad Joaquin finally got an Oscar [deservedly so] for The Joker & that Reese got one for this role, but I will never understand how he didn’t get one specifically for his amazing performance as Cash. Every time I see the film, I can’t stop thinking about how much he deserved it... I’m sure he was wondering what was there I did wrong to not get it after all the prep, depths he went to, etc to so accurately portray the good & bad in Johnny’s life. That’s why I can’t comprehend how he lost-there wasn’t anything wrong (except for some inaccuracies in the script, but that has nothing to do with him & obviously didn’t get in the way of Reese winning for playing June plus as a film student myself I can understand why they made some of those changes for cinematic reasons). I mean, Reese played June fantastically too but Joaquin’s portrayal of Johnny was just so on Mark & deep... not to mention all his own personal connections to the character that must have been a very hard emotional journey for himself as he played Johnny. He literally put his whole entire self into playing JR (& the Joker too of course which just highlights his talent & emotional sacrifices as an actor since we all know how tasking that character is to play psychologically especially from Heath Ledger, yet another deserving Oscar and that’s an understatement), but for all of that he so deserved winning that one.

[@michaelgibsontv]

Yeah there are older, more famous actors who never won, and maybe got an honorary Oscar, but it's a vote, and in acting I think just copying the character ain't enough....like a pink floyd cover band, any decent musician really can play the same musical notes, it's just copying. And a good question is...y did Reece win? Was she a better June than the other guy playing Cash, no.

I listened to Folsom Prison Blues on record as a child and I always pictured what it would have looked like in the prison, all the cheers, the warden's face as he made fun of the water and the time he called him a "mean bastard" and to have seen it in the movie was such a gift. I also wondered the same thing about the San Quentin album as well. Joaquin did such an amazing job as Johnny.

For anyone who likes Joaquin's version of Johnny Cash better than the original, watch Johnny Cash at San Quentin - Orange Blossom Special. LOVE everything Joaquin does, but only Johnny is Johnny!! Same with June Carter! Reese did an awesome job, but ya gotta love the original.

Hello Ellen 👋👋 How are you doing and how's the weather condition over there ???

I've watched that movie at least 100 times over the years. I absolutely love it and the music performed by him and Reese Witherspoon. Both blew me away.

Funnily enough, in The Dark Knight Returns animated movie, Joker kills a talk show host who’s voiced by Conan

I grew up on Johnny Cash, as he was my father's favorite. (he also loved Merle Haggard and Marty Robbins). Joaquin Phoenix is super talented and he totally nailed the role of playing the legendary Johnny Cash. I salute Joaquin's ability to transform himself into this role.
