Although Joaquin told Sid that he grew his beard for the role he is playing, some students believed he was intentionally trying to hide his identity.
"Beforehand, they [Phoenix's production company] asked us to keep it very quiet, as Joaquin wished to remain unnoticed," said Funda Alp, director of communications.
The only information he released about his upcoming movie was that he will be playing a role of a college professor.
"He said that he dropped out of school and never went to college, so he thought it would be a good idea to visit a classroom to see what goes on," said Gottlieb.
After attending the Film and Lit course, Joaquin made his way over to see what a large lecture course was like at Yale University.
Gottlieb was flattered that Phoenix attended Curtis and his classroom, and wonders which course he got more inspiration out of, a smaller class at SHU or a large lecture course at Yale?
Either way, we'll have to look for his upcoming movie to see if any of his mannerisms depict our familiar professor's characteristics.
