18 years old ..... still a baby ... but he was so beyond his years ... So talented ... Miss him so much ... His roles became so much more intense and expressed up until 23 years old. Wanted so much to see more of what he would have amazed us with ... RIP Beautiful Angel

River was so beautiful, delicate and angelic looking. Such a talented Actor. 😢😢

This kid would have been bigger than anyone if he didn’t die. He was on his way to being an absolutely massive star.

Omg the neck cracking. nooooo. lol. Also love how he kind of calls the guy out on putting words in his mouth. "Oh, I did that?" Its very Joaquin.

[@mirelly7280]

i love my two angels

[@rivjudephoenix8601]

It's funny because River did actually write a song about him and Martha. He told a reporter earlier that year and even played the song for them. He and Joaquin seem to get cheeky with the press when they don't really want to talk about something, usually personal things

What an amazing person, so intelligent and soft spoken. I can’t even imagine the good he would have brought into the world had he not been taken from us. Just watched one of my favorite movies he stars in “Dogfight”. Rest In Peace River.

Could listen to his soft, calming, wise and angelic voice forever. Great interview with River, what a beautiful gorgeous articulate intelligent creative gentleman sweet and kind. Gone way too soon and young. ❤️♥️😍🥰😘

[@poetryquotesgoodreads3430]

River was so beautiful💜 I found this poem about River in a hauntingly beautiful poetry book, “12:12 Midnight” by Danielle Ever Rose... “Forever River" A peaceful river flows from the start, Twenty three days and twenty three nights apart. The clear water calm turning into rushing rapids, Tearing you up before you get out. But like a phoenix from the ashes, He will rise, A beautiful spirit, Haunting striking eyes. A room full of vipers, A venom so strong, Taken away in the hollow morning songs. This river treasure like a shooting star, Lights up the night sky, And just for a moment, Shines brighter than all the other stars. Seemingly gone forever, But never forgotten. R.I.P River Phoenix

[@Iceis_Phoenix]

Wow. 🦋

It's ridiculous how handsome he was. Just stunning.

No man was ever, or will ever be more hot than River right here, period. 🥇🏆👑

[@anaplisetsky]

He was so handsome and his voice is so calm too, I could hear him speaking for hours 💜💕

[@janapodnecka3346]

River was so perceptive, in touch and direct communication with his environment. Soft but strong and fierce against negativity. The interviewer was a pure selfish ass. River felt it. He was an angelic genius.

[@lovelyspotjones7723]

He was a teen and had no god dam acne WHAT THE FUCK R.I.P to this beautiful angel ✨🌿

[@blur_is_myworld6022]

maybe makeup, but still he was so good-looking.

[@dx.feelgood5825]

Probably genetics, his diet, skin care routine, something like that. I doubt it would be makeup, he absolutely despised that lmao

[@tayladunn7490]

@@dx.feelgood5825 In a way, I don’t like it either, but yeah because his other family members like his parents and siblings, their all good looking too !!

[@sahej6939]

He did. He’s just one of those teens that looks cute with it!

[@user-xq2lm6mi4k]

He would have been bigger than Pitt, Cruise, and Leo combined. Over thirty years now. Think of all the films we could have seen River act in starting with Interview with a Vampire he was due to star in next.

[@Anabel_Love22]

I would go back in time and gift him my lifespan that way he could've lived longer.

When do they do these interviews? At 6 in the morning? Can't lie, I find his sleepy face touching routine rather hot. I'm astrology buff and looked at his natal chart... he's got a ton of scorpio.. even at that young age, when the camera isn't rolling, you can see alongside the flower child stuff he was a seriously fierce character.
