Watch out for Regina George No I would never do heroin. If I did, I would be disrespecting River. Drugs killed him, someone I love dearly, so I NEED to stay away from them. Even the best people make bad choices. River dealt with so much. As a kid himself, he was supporting all four of his siblings he loved dearly and his mother and father. He was dealing with so much stress from the media giving him hell. On the night he died, he was hurting. He felt rejected by his friend and was hurt by being constantly ridiculed by one of his co-stars on his last film. The way he attempted to alleviate his stress was by using a dangerous and ultimately deadly outlet.. His sensitive, gentle and peaceful soul was too good for this world, so he was called home.

He was 6 months older than me and I was totally obsessed with him. It was completely unhealthy but I was always so excited to find out about what his next film would be and then BOOM, he was gone. Looking back, I think that's the first time I got depressed. Have never felt so deeply about an actor as I did him. I'm still so incredibly sad about his stupid death, and it was such a stupid way to die but people think it's cool to be involved in drugs & gang culture. I will never understand it, never.

The Don Who doesn't he was the best actor out there and my crush for years from around the time of the movie Surviving up to his death which knocked me for six at the time I was just 18. had River lived, he would no doubt have been a multiple oscar winner, he was a natural born actor, and so powerful scene after scene from a young kid..I had a thing for Paul Walker as well from 1986 until his death , great actor no longer with us, must have had a thing for blondes as a kid think I even had a thing for the Sun pat kid, turned out to be a girl, served me right for falling for pretty boys all the time!.

Sorry.. But Paul walker was a shit actor. I don't know how you can even compare the two.

@suzannemoogan9675 6 жыл бұрын

Dee Rao Your entitled to your own opinion I wasn't comparing him to River, River was an exceptional actor, however Paul was far from shit, he was very talented, his role in Running Scared, Roadkill /Joyride, to name but a few prove how talented he was. Paul was even a strong actor as a kid , a lot of people underrate Paul, mainly because he didn't give a shit if his acting career had finished the next day he lived for himself and his interest in street racing, extraordinarily laid back guy, nothing phased him. River was unique, there will never be another actor like River Phoenix (RIP) , I know that.

Hate that, he died in an alley outside The Viper Room from an overdose of a Speedball as Joaquin held him helplessly in his arms. One of Hollywood best that died too soon from one of the pitfalls in the trade as a young sought after talent. Stand By Me is one of my favorite movies of all time. What young boy gets to experience running scared from a dog & train in the same movie. Not to mention the horror of having to take an engorged blood sucking leech out of your briefs! Wish there could be a reunion, but one of the best actors will be absent! Thank you for your work River Phoenix!

@steliannaa.2468 7 жыл бұрын

I think someone murdered him actually.The speedball had enough cocain to keel a cow.He wasnt aware of what he was about to drink also no "friend" would have give to him a drink like this.Obvisously they murdered him.May he rest in piece.Graceful soul and pure talent

Sigh. Enough of the murder theories. One of the members from the Red Hot Chilli Peppers: John Fruscinate, was a major drug junkie himself. He arrived at the Viper Room that night several hours after River did, without knowing how many drugs River had already taken; he handed him the speedball which killed him. It was an accident. But River was the one who voluntarily took the speedball, as hard as it is to admit; it is solely his own fault.
