14 DAY TRIAL // Spike Jonze’s film “Her” came out in 2013 and was one of the biggest critical hits of the year. It also earned leading man Joaquin Phoenix a new round of award nominations and wins, cementing his reputation as one of the most talented thespians out there.
There was a part of him that delivered just an amazing a performance in the film and that was left undiscovered until now: his forehead face.
I’ll explain: today’s Viral of the Day comes from a fan with too much spare time on their hands and a potty mouth, as you will see below. In other words, *please note that discretion is recommended before watching the video because it contains profane language that could offend.
This fan noticed that, if you rotate the camera during one of the most crucial scenes in the movie, you’re being treated to a performance even more impressive than Joaquin’s, from the face hidden in his forehead.
The moment Redditors picked up on the video was the moment it went viral. Right now, not only is Joaquin getting praises for being so Method that even his forehead can act (and quite independently of his will, we might add), but the forehead itself is being honored with fan art and memes.
It’s also drawing comparisons to Robin Williams, Dr. Zaius from “Planet of the Apes,” and Lord Voldermort from “Harry Potter,” which is utterly silly: we all know Lord Voldermort didn’t have any facial hair.
Enjoy!
