If Joaquin Phoenix really hopes to convince the world that he's the world's greatest undiscovered rapper (and not simply its least essential hoaxer), he may have to start with winning over Gwyneth Paltrow.

The Playlist managed to uncover this clip of Phoenix's nascent on-screen rapping from the upcoming Two Lovers (which has already seen its publicity tour devolve into a bullshit-calling festival). In it, Phoenix attempts to woo Jersey girl Gwyneth Paltrow and her friend with a little bit of freestyling that, like its real-life counterpart, ends horribly. Yes, Gwyneth—we, too, began by laughing with Phoenix, but that stinky "WTF" face you make at :07 is the best summation of his new career that we could possibly give. Brava.
