I think he would be like a cross between his brother and Leonardo di caprio, and probably unstoppable. Rip river.

He would've won some Oscars.

@@melanistar I actually remember reading something years ago where Leo DiCaprio said he’d always lose out on roles to River. Don’t know for sure if this is a fact, but I believe River was an original pick for The Basketball Diaries, due to him being a fan of the book, and that it went to Leo after River died. Not only that, I also read that James Cameron had River in mind to be the lead in Titanic when he originally conceptualized the idea for the movie years before he started production. So in reality, DiCaprio’s career is only his career because of River Phoenix’s passing, which is mind blowing to think.

@@RINI329 i mean im sure Leo would have still done well but probably not the same career he had bc river passed. I think you are right about Basketball Diaries. I have read quite a few biographies about both actors (being a female slightly younger, I had huge crushes on both growing up) River was also cast in Interview with a Vampire, and that role ended up going to Christian Slater.

@Rinilags03 actully River didn’t want the role because he didn’t wanna play teens anymore . He turned it down

Technically, he was because he was the oldest of the boys. It also comes with the territory of being the oldest child in his actual family.

​@@kgunitkeese17All 4 boys were the eldest of their siblings.

You mean 'older' brother. Since he was only 1-4 years older than the other 3.

​@@Lightner445555555555 River Phoenix was born in 1970, Corey Feldman in 1971, Will Wheaton in 1972 and Jerry O' Conell in 1974, in this order.

He was sure wise beyond his years.

Ugh it’s so sad he was truly perfect

Pretty sure he was just a Hollywood druggie like the rest

He would've given Brad Pitt a run for his money... maybe!?

I think, had he lived, he would have won an Oscar by now, a rare talent gone way too soon. He had 2 Oscar nominations in his career before he died.

It’s a shame how his life ended. Hollywood destroyed him.

Kiefer Sutherland was great in it as well.

Gayeeeeee!!!

@@Stanley.1977shut up

I agree. I feel as though every male watching River's performance could see him as the boy you wish was your friend, or that you wanted to be like. Despite the details of his character being portrayed as a trouble maker and not academic, I bet we all wish we had his confidence. He looked very grounded for his age, a natural leader.

@B Ulrich thank you so much! 💖

🌹💜💜💜💜

Aww yr so sweet

Aww River is a beautiful name

Joaquin's son is named River. I'm glad that his memory lives on

I watched this in class on the last day before summer and my teacher thought that if River was still alive, he’d been really fine she said 😂

I agree fully. Please read also my comend ! Thanks a lot !!!

The movie is set in Castlerock, Oregon It's the book that's in Maine

🥺♥️

And 80s

River Phoenix

Well u can't get interview of dead person

I heard that a lot of roles Leonardo DiCaprio had in his early years originally wanted River, I mean they both had similar good looks and Charisma

He would have been as huge as DiCaprio is today

He would have won many Oscars.

He probably would have been the Young Indiana Jones. I believe I read years ago that this was his next project. I wonder if he would have chosen to continue in films or do more with his music and humanitarian work.

@@CaIypsoJ As you may know, River played Young Indy in the opening sequence of *Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade* (1989).

NOT JUST YOU GIRL WELCOME TO THE CLUB! you should research his life, he was such an epic soul. a little bit sad, but it's important to keep his memory alive and i think you'd love to learn about him. i gaurentee you'll fall in love !

Same here accept I was an 80's kid. Cell phones and Social media have changed these type of memories.
