Nothing is Fiction

Joaquin Phoenix dropped one bomb of an announcement at a benefit for Paul Newman's camps for kids by announcing the unthinkable – his retirement from acting.

"I want to take this opportunity ... to give you the exclusive and just talk a little bit about the fact that this will be my last performance as an actor," the Oscar nominee told Extra who caught up with him at the San Francisco event, "I'm not doing films anymore."

"Yeah. I'm working on my music," the 34-year-old added, "I'm done. I've been through that."

The Walk the Line actor has reportedly  been working on some records with British band The Charlatans.
