It looks like Joaquin Phoenix has put his crazy days behind him and has returned to normalcy, at least for now. The Golden Globe winner decided to quit making movies to allegedly seek out a career as a rapper in October 2008. He surely can’t have been serious though. His rapping skills were horrible and with buddy Casey Affleck filming the entire thing, it seemed more like he was trying to create a documentary than be a serious hip hop artist.

These photos were taken of him as he departed from Voyeur nightclub in Los Angeles last night.

Phoenix emerged sans the scraggly beard to record a public service announcement with pop star Miley Cyrus and ex-girlfriend Liv Tyler last week. They collaborated for the charity, To Write Love on Her Arms, a non-profit movement dedicated to presenting hope and finding help for people struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury and suicide.

Welcome back Joaquin!
