Oscar nominee Joaquin Phoenix is retiring from Hollywood at age 34 to pursue a singing career.
The "Walk The Line" star announced his plans to retire early from acting to focus on his budding music career.
"This will be my last performance as an actor. I'm not doing films anymore. I'm working on my music. I'm done. I've been through that," Phoenix said, according to Extra.
Phoenix made that announcement on Monday at a fundraiser for late actor Paul Newman's children's charity.
The actor first received accolades for his vocal skills in 2005 when he recorded the soundtrack for the Johnny Cash biopic "Walk The Line."
His efforts won him a Grammy Award, and he is now working on an album with British rocker Tim Burgess from the Charlatans.
