Phoenix looks Oscar-worthy in black
Joaquin Phoenix’s performance as Johnny Cash in the upcoming film “Man in Black” is drawing Oscar notice, but the actor admitted he knew little of the country legend.
“I didn’t know much about him, and I wasn’t a big country music fan. I listened to the Beatles and David Bowie so I didn’t know a lot about him,” Phoenix, 40, told Reuters. “What was nice for me was not knowing anything about music and not being a singer or player and kind of discovering what that was like, instead of having a set way of doing things.”
Phoenix manages to capture Cash’s deep voice and mannerisms, down to the rusty laugh, and singing Cash classics like “Ring of Fire” and “I Walk the Line.” He credits a dialect coach for capturing the famous Cash growl.
