Joaquin Phoenix?!
Question: Does anyone know what happened to the actor's lip? Is it previous cleft lip or an accident? Just curious... Thanks!

speculation is that it is from a cleft palate - but joaquin himself always maintained that it is just a birthmark.
"Contrary to popular belief, the scar on his lip is not the result of a repaired cleft lip or palate. It is simply a birth mark. Phoenix has stated in interviews that, while pregnant with him, his mother felt a sharp pain one day, and he was born with a mark on his lip"
I don't notice a change at all. Maybe that was make -up for a movie.
He was born with a cleft palate, and it was repared. Thats the way they look when repared.
