Help[Opinions] Re: Joaquin
in reply to a message by Andie
Joaquin is pronounced like WAH-keen. It's also the name of Kelly Ripa's youngest son (she's from Live with Regis & Kelly). I have heard, however, that he sometimes goes by the nn of "Joe". lol
Joaquin Phoenix is the younger brother of the late River Phoenix. Some of you here might be too young to remember him but he was in a ton of movies, including Stand By Me. When Joaquin was very young, he decided to change his name. I read that he thought his name was "Walking" because his siblings had very nature-y names (River, Rain, Liberty & Summer) so he decided to go by the name Leaf. He was billed by the name Leaf Phoenix as a child actor in the movies "Space Camp" and "Russkies". If you couldn't tell, I know a lot about the Phoenix family. :b I was a huge River Phoenix fan from age 12 on and I've been fascinated by the family ever since, and I LOVE Joaquin. BTW, I loved "Ladder 49" too. :)
ETA: Joaquin Phoenix goes by "Joe", not Kelly Ripa's son. lol
