So while River and Joaquin were full brothers with the same parents, the odds of them looking very much alike are slimmer than you would think.

The Halloween night of 1993 will always be in the memory of Hollywood and especially of the actor Joaquin Phoenix. On October 31 of that year, after a party in a well-known local, River Phoenix died of an overdose before the eyes of all those present, among whom was the star of films such as 'Gladiator' or 'Napoleon'.

At the time of his birth, Phoenix's parents were missionaries in a millenarian Christian religious cult called the Children of God. When he was a young child, they returned to the United States, left the cult, and changed the family name from Bottom to Phoenix.

However, he lost career momentum while directing I'm Still Here (2010), a divisive mockumentary about the musical career of his friend and then brother-in-law Joaquin Phoenix.
