Who is Joaquin Phoenix?

Joaquin Phoenix, birthed as Joaquin Rafael Bottom was born in San Juan, Puerto Rico, on October 28, 1974. His parents, Arlyn (née Dunetz) and John Lee Bottom, are both from the United States mainland; his father is primarily of English lineage, while his mother is an Ashkenazi Jew of Hungarian and Russian background. Members of the religious sect Children of God, the family traveled throughout South America with the cult. When Phoenix was three years old, the family left the cult and relocated to the United States.

When they returned to the United States, they changed their surname from Bot tom to Phoenix to represent a new beginning, similar to how the mythological bird rises from its own ashes. He has five siblings, one of whom is a half-sibling from his father’s previous marriage. Many of his siblings have names derived from nature, such as River or Rain, and Phoenix called himself “Leaf” until he was fifteen, partly to be more like his brothers.
