He recently claimed to be engaged to his yoga teacher while appearing on Late Night With David Letterman - but later revealed it was just a prank.

And on Thursday night Joaquin Phoenix was up to more of the same antics as he decided to conduct part of his interview in bed while on Jimmy Kimmel Live.

The chat show host was more than happy to oblige as he tucked himself in next to 40-year-old actor during the last moment of their talk.

Strange bedfellows: Joaquin Phoenix was up to more of the same antics as he decided to conduct part of his interview in bed while on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Thursday night

Kimmel, 47, started off by asking: 'This is your fifth Golden Globe nomination, yes?'

The star, who is currently nominated for his lead role in Inherent Vice, responded: 'I don't think so.'

But later Kimmel came back saying that his staff just checked and it is in fact the actor's fifth Golden Globe nomination.

The interview, however, continued to ramble on as Joaquin threw out various non sequiturs, including: 'You know who I find very attractive? Amy Poehler.'

And Kimmel shot back, with comedic timing: 'Okay. I don't think I asked you that.'

The chat show host followed up by saying: 'You look tired you wanna take a nap?'

'Yes, I do. You know this couch folds out,' Joaquin said.

The two then unfolded the sofabed and proceeded to engage in some pillow talk, bringing their interview to a close.

Meanwhile in December, before he came clean on Good Morning America, news of Phoenix's supposed impending wedding to his yoga instructor spread widely on several legitimate news sources.

'I can get engaged again if you like,' Phoenix told ABC's George Stephanopoulos after telling him he wasn't really ready to get hitched.

Phoenix's oddball appearance on Letterman's Late Show in February 2009, punctuated by several moments of uncomfortable silence, became one of late-night TV's first viral videos. Letterman memorably called that session to a close by saying, 'I'm sorry you couldn't be here tonight.'

By using Letterman's stage to announce a false engagement five years later, was Phoenix enacting a little revenge?

It was 'just Joaquin's extraordinary and spontaneous sense of humor,' said his spokesman, Susan Patricola.

On the most recent Late Show appearance, Phoenix got down on the stage to demonstrate 'the harnessing of the hog,' a supposed move his yoga instructor had taught him.

'This is the crazy part of the story,' Phoenix said upon returning to Letterman's couch. 'We started dating and I think she's the one. I proposed to her and she said yes.'

Letterman seemed physically taken aback by the statement, pushing his chair back from his desk.
