Another rebroadcast of the oaquin Phoenix appearance on Letterman, parodied by Ben Stiller at this year’s Oscars. Invited on to the show to promote his movie, Two Lovers, which co-stars Oscar-winner Gwyneth Paltrow, he singularly failed to do so. The interview, which generated over two and a half million views on the Late Show website, was described by www.rollingstone.com as possibly “the most paranoid, drugged-out interview ever.” A bearded, incoherent Phoenix mumbles his way through Letterman’s questions, at one point taking his chewing gum from his mouth and sticking it to his host’s desk
The show also features Sports Illustrated cover model, Bar Rafaeli.

The Late Show With David Letterman is on SET Mondays to Fridays at 22h00.
