River's death is the only celeb death that truly hit me.

Haven't seen the Joker, but I'm happy for Joaquin tbh.

[shangri__la]

I remember Joaquin's 911 call all over the news and no one should have to deal with that after a sibling dies.

[j___adore]

oh he was there? i watched the video but i somehow missed that.

I truly forget they were brothers since Joaquin is such a cretin. Though I do often wonder if River would have turned out similarly. Most likely. Those 90s dudes are kinda unanimously sucky humans.

Keanu turned out more than okay. I imagine River would have aged similar.

His best friend 😥

[jellycar]

me too

[drblind]

this kind of interview seems out of character for him, no?

guess he really wants that oscar

Mfteeeeee

[qween_tartii]

lol i felt really uncharitable for thinking it but....yeah

[jellycar]

right?? i’m so confused and rme @ the timing

[aawler]

River was magnetic. Joaquin once was too.

I think I'd prefer dying myself over my sibling dying.

[umilicious]

Same, except that if I die first (and assuming my parents have also passed away), my brother would either become a ward of the state or my daughter would end up with guardianship over him. I hope that I don’t have to start planning for that for many more years, because neither option is ideal.

I think about death a lot more than I’d like to admit because of things like this.

[callonme_84]

Is he on the spectrum? Why would your daughter have to take care of her uncle?

[donaestrangera]

I don't have any children, but I'm in a similar situation with my sister. I hope that it will be years before anything happens but it keeps me up at night sometimes.
