Don't Trifle With Phoenix The star of Buffalo Soldiers doesn't take well to closed doors. Let's grab our Let's Go guides and start the tour: I spotted Joaquin in the dark, cavernous space of the Left Bank Saturday night, where he was celebrating his movie Buffalo Soldiers. Looking as sensational (those cheekbones are sonnet-worthy) and as comfortable (that old sneakers-and-suit routine) as ever, the young Hollywood star got a little testy when a doorman wouldn't let him into the club's private VIP area. "But we're actors," he pleaded, as his co-star, the doe-eyed Anna Paquin, looked on. Not compelled was the bouncer by this argument, as the Gladiator star looked more and more like he wanted to feed the chap to the lions. "He's not letting you in?" I asked Joaquin, astonished. (I, uh, happened to be standing near him.) "No," he responded, pointing to his nemesis. "That guy's an asshole." Duly noted. |
