There's something about his eyes and the way he stares at people that's inviting and haunting at the same time, also some seriousness for lack of a better word and his beauty is different from other man, there's something deep and dangerous about him and I'm telling this in present form because watching this makes it hard to believe he's gone .

[@micaelaclifford2729]

I wanna cry... he would have been 50 these days, and I remember knowing about him and his movies when I was 14 years old, just 5 years ago and I was mesmerized by him, he was even more attractive, in a very human way, than Leo DiCaprio (my biggest actor crush) and when I discover that he actually die at such a young age and in that horrible situation, it affected me a lot and it made me hate drugs, alcohol or anything in between, it was very impacting to me his life and his death. I used to do drugs and drink a lot of alcohol at a very young age and sometimes abused about it, but I told to myself that I will take care of myself after knowing River. River is the reason why we should take care of ourselves and of each other, even if our friends tell us "it's my life"... I just think he had so much more to give to this world, agh. Sorry that I am doing catharsis, I just love him and everything he did from music and acting and activism, he inspired me so much... I miss him and I didn't even met him 🖤

[@miriamponlatetera4611]

Soy fan de la saga Indiana Jones, su actuación de un joven Indiana me impactó de niña, pero no fue hasta mi adolescencia que me enteré de su muerte en una vieja revista de chicas de los 90s. No lo podía creer, pensé que seguía actuando y que yo solo no habia visto sus películas todavia. Triste que él no sea el único que me ha roto el corazón de la misma manera. Michael Jetter es otro actor que amo y del cual me enteré que habia fallecido muchos años después de su muerte. Dos estrellas luminosas nos brindan su luz desde lo alto.

Please read full With Phoenix’s early death, three of his potential film roles went to Leonardo DiCaprio. The first was The Basketball Diaries, to which Phoenix had long been attached as the lead actor. Phoenix had also expressed a great interest in the film project which became Total Eclipse, about the French poet Arthur Rimbaud. Finally, Canadian director James Cameron had hoped to cast Phoenix in his ambitious film project Titanic

[@AC-cb8we]

River was never casted in those roles. He had an interest for Basketball Diaries but was too old at the time, he also had in interest for Total Eclipse and James Cameron had him in mind for titanic before he died.

[@__itsRobin]

Amber Carson yes he was never casted because those projects (The Basketball Diaries, Titanic) were conceived with River already in mind. James Cameron’s Jack Dawson is a character build solely to fit River, and he wanted to build the rest of the casts around him. After his death, James did cast few actors to play Jack, including Leo, and he went with the best River Phoenix replacement ever.

[@indowithbadenglish3775]

Him and leo is a perfect cast for Jack in Titanic

[@LovelyDay11]

River Axl Where did you get this information? River died in 1993, Titanic was made in 1997, that’s 4 years after his death. I doubt James had him in mind, unless you’re implying he wrote the script years before he directed the movie.

[@nursefaerie3009]

ícҽís թհօҽղíx It’s easy to blame others, but that could have easily been Frusciante that died and River alive today with people saying River failed him. They knowingly used together, no one forced anyone, risks were taken, no one thinks that will be the last time, they just care about the feeling or lack there of, or to not be ill. His friends and family that were there did all they could have by calling 911 and trying to resuscitate him. I wish naloxone was invented many decades ago as many people would still be with us. River was an amazing person and it is so sad that he passed away. But I’m sure River wouldn’t say his friends failed him. I hope that the way he passed opened the eyes to others so they could make changes in their lives to get the help they needed for their substance use disorder. I believe he’d want people to just be kind to one another, to animals, and to the Earth.

[@Iceis_Phoenix]

@@nursefaerie3009 you're kidding right? River would NEVER give somebody a drink so deadly it could kill 8 people. River was SO ANGRY the nite he died he SCREAMED to Frusciante " WHAT THE F__K is in this drink". Then he got even more angry and shouted to Depp that he was " going to die". Take off your rose colored glasses. Sure peace love and kindness is just wonderful but in this case there was no peace love and kindness the nite River was murdered. River got VIOLENTLY sick for about 30 minutes. Frusciante bailed and never called 911. Some friend. After his murder Frushiante made up some lame excuse that River didn't want to be in this world which was a total lie. I never said his family failed him. I said his FRIENDS failed him please learn to comprehend.

I would do anything to have him alive and interview him, or just amicably talk. I loved all his choices in his film career and him and his brother inspired me to go vegan. To Talk about songwriting, books, projects, animals with him Can only happen in my dreams... He just seemed so friendly and patient. He definitely had conviction and enjoyment with his passions, I wish he could have been understood or related to more in life. This celebrity lifestyle was not ideal, it was hard, and created this self loathing and lonely place in him... he probably just wanted to be anonymous or focus on art and his environment work. I wish I could thank him for the art he made-it helped me more then once with my own depression and addictions.

Oh my god I love him

[@ChristinaLMason]

I’ve been learning a lot about River lately, what a kind and thoughtful actor and person. You can see he is struggling too. But still, that persistence and intelligence is just mesmerizing. That Holden Caulfield reference just goes to show how bright he was. What a gorgeous soul we lost.

I was surprised that the interviewer didn’t know that reference. Holden Caulfield is a famous literary character.

Love how River's true essence and Spirit shines through in this interview ~ laughter, joking, sense of humour, his authentic self with charming charisma (Gift of Grace) ~ a pure gem of a human being. This is indeed uplifting footage sharing River's sunny and engaging nature.. Bobbie clearly a skilled interviewer ~ a JOY to view. Immense gratitude for uploading video, so fitting and timely for River's 50th birthday anniversary month. Adore it all , especially when he hesitates for a tiny moment, to check out that interviewer is referring to Career ?? Dogfight was an incredible movie. River/Devo you live on in our hearts always
