Joaquin Phoenix has claimed that he will not turn his back on his fledgling music career and return to acting.
Despite rumours that his interest in rapping is a hoax, Phoenix insisted that upcoming movie Two Lovers will be his last.
He told The AP: "I'm not one of those people, like, when I break up with my girlfriend, I don't ever see her again.
"I see her as friends, but do I ever think about getting back together? No, when I do something, I do it. So I have no intention."
Two Lovers director John Gray expressed disappointment that Phoenix would not act again and confirmed that he has seen the star's home studio.
"If he's not serious about it then he really went to ridiculous lengths," he said.
Phoenix added that he enjoys the wordplay, storytelling and "raw emotion" of hip-hop music, but conceded that people will make fun of his new career no matter how well he performs.
Earlier this week, the former actor said that his bedraggled look was a deliberate attempt to separate himself from his movie star persona.
