Does Joaquin Phoenix act by chewing gum with lockjaw?


I can't understand half of what he says. It's like he still doesn't want to be an actor, but is, and tries to eff up the performance as much as possible.

He can be difficult to understand sometimes.
Yup.
I always thought it was because he had a cleft palate, at some point in his life.
