Joaquin Phoenix gets into brawl with heckler during performance (VIDEO)

I'm starting to believe the "Joaquin gone weird" thing is a gimmicky hoax.

JOAQUIN PHOENIX was involved in a huge brawl while performing at a Miami night club last night, wrestling a heckler to the ground before being dragged off by security.

The actor-turned-rapper, 34, jumped off the stage mid-way through his appearance to confront the mouthy audience member.

An enraged Joaquin, sounding a little more coherent than in recent appearance, announced: “We have a f***ing b**** in the audience.

Nodding his head while rapping to a beat, he told the man: “I've got a $1million in the bank. What have you got b****?”

Joaquin – who sources say arrived four hours late for the gig at the LIV night club in the Fontainebleau Miami Beach hotel – then launched himself into the crowd.

The incident took place at around 2am. Joaquin was in his usual get-up of suit, dirty trainers and taped-up sunglasses along with his trademark scruffy beard.

One fan said: “I saw the guy screaming at Joaquin.

“Joaquin then flipped and jumped into the crowd.”
