Joaquin Phoenix Too Sick To Fly To Cannes

Joaquin Phoenix was apparently too sick to promote his newest film, Two Lovers, in Cannes with co-star Gwyneth Paltrow. The prospect of standing within hearing range of Gwyneth is enough to make anyone hurl, we suppose:

“Joaquin has the stomach flu,” his rep, Susan Patricola, tells PEOPLE. “He had his dog boarded, his tux in hand but couldn’t even sit on the plane. He did go to the hospital to get hydrated, hoping he could get on the plane but he didn’t stay there. He was so sick – and so sorry he couldn’t be there with everyone.”

Aw. Perhaps he just had a little frog in his throat? Poor Joaquin. Sana, sana, colita de rana. Si no sanas hoy, sanarás mañana.
