This is the most handsome man to ever walk the earth

[@Nominay]

He looks like an angel ... not a word I ever use to describe any man.

[@Rascarrr]

gaaayyyyyyyy

[@johnkelly2663]

In all fairness, he's still a boy here.

[@rottenhead8385]

knowing what we know about celebs and i l l u m i n a t i families transitioning their children VERY young. This might be a female to male. the gaze is just too pretty.

[@berrychampion]

@@rottenhead8385that’s the weirdest thing I’ve ever seen someone say. I’m a trans person and it’s really weird to think someone’s face is too pretty to be male or masculine, he’s a boy. He’s just a pretty one.

River Phoenix always demonstrated a powerful captivating personality, from the very first moment we saw him on the screen. What an intelligent (home schooled) young man he was. It is so sad to have seen incredible talent like his and other young promises in the acting world, such as Corey Haim, be destroyed by the Hollywood excesses without proper guidance and check! Parents, where were you?!

[@Nominay]

River was 23 when he died. Where were his parents suppose to be?

[@jakehoon69]

@@Nominay They obviously meant that the pressure of his whole life lead him to becoming an addict. Trauma can do that. It's not that his parents were horrible, it's just that he was not protected enough from the industry. It was clearly his downfall.

[@catwoman8861]

What a sweet, delicate soul.

[@yingliu5444]

I was attracted by his eyes...

[@francescaf.7942]

It's the first time I hear his voice since I'm an Italian girl and I've always heard him dubbed in Italian and I have to say his voice was as beautiful as him. The more I see and hear him, the sadder I become. I had a crush on him and still do ❤😢💔😞

[@amberbest6942]

Yep. Beautiful angel. Trend setter. Exactly my type. Even his name😥 Phoenix, River. True story, in 7th grade, while living in Phoenix, I was crushing so bad on a guy named R.J. that looked just like River here, same hair, everything. To my sadness, RJ started going out with the other Amber in my class- a stuck up rich girl with my same first name, looked like me, but perfect clothes, rich, perfect different nail color every day. While I was poor, dirty crap clothes that wreaked of cigarettes living in abuse. He didn't notice me, went out with her. Now, a few days ago I saw final 24, realized River's middle name..that makes him an RJ too! Plus other eerie parallels! Like I also moved to a small town outside of Gainesville, FL in 92 when I was 15, and lived in that county for almost 30 years. My life is weird. Bless River♥️💯🌟

[@Fatelink]

It seems like Bobbie had a kind, maternal spirit that affected River in a beautiful way. He was so sweet to make sure she had all she needed for the interview - what a beautiful soul.

[@michaelhall5476]

When ever I see river i can feel his spirit

[@jenniferlarsen8819]

Such a beautiful soul. 😞

[@Turdferguson90]

He is beautiful, like an angel of light on earth. His lips, eyes, cheek bones, nose, hair. He was perfect. He should have played Jim Carroll in the basketball diaries and Jack in Titanic... Leonardo was not bad, but he cannot compare to River at all. Leo had an arrogance that River never had. His humility makes him that much more beautiful. ❤

[@sitisofia1365]

River is unique and special than leo😢

[@cathylanders6377]

​@@sitisofia1365yeah

[@michaelhall5476]

River had this special gift to the world. His films are all cool. Silent tongue is cool and dark blood was a wonderful film

RIP 🌻⚱️🕯️

Прекрасный талантливый юноша...

[@WhateverHappenedToFun]

Thatìs the reason why I can't appreciate Di Caprio, once you met Phoenix your bar is too high. It's like here's a good plate of pasta from Olive Garden, oh yes it can be good but I just came back from Sicily I can't appreciate it, I'm sorry.

[@azaka3720]

Same! i used to fangirl over dicaprio and johnny depp before but after knowing and seeing river phoenix, not anymore...he sets up the bar way too high

[@karinapetersen6608]

[@melrenfrusc]

​@@azaka3720Same...I see people saying Harry Styles or Henry Cavil is the most handsome man on Earth and I'm like...Have you seen River Phoenix.

[@cathykinn4516]

Well he looked very devious or sly in the image. Why do people say he was "innocent" & "sweet". Seems his death blew his cover, his act. He chain smoked & told interviewers not to say so, accounts for his 'smokey' voice. He does not seem a victim, he sighs with boredom or irritation. He seems more of a charming manipulator.
