After months of being MIA, Joaquin Phoenix surfaced Thursday night clean shaven and gorgeous again! You might remember Joaquin’s bearded freak-out last year when he announced he had quit acting and was going to start a rap career.

Thursday night Joaquin joined ex Liv Tyler to tape a promo for To Write Love on Her Arms, a non-profit movement dedicated to presenting hope and finding help for people struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury and suicide. (In another promo spot, Phoenix even jokes around with Miley Cyrus, who is also doing work for TWLOHA. She teaches him who Lady Gaga is.)
