On Sunday's program, the "Joker" star recalled how he felt media coverage of his late brother's passing "impeded on the mourning process."River died of a drug overdose at the age of 23 outside The Viper Room in West Hollywood in 1993. Joaquin, who was at the club with his brother that night, was only 19 at the time.
"During that time in which you're most vulnerable, there are helicopters flying over, there are people that are trying to sneak onto your land," he added. "Certainly, for me it felt like it impeded on the mourning process." "The grieving process happens out of nowhere," Joaquin's mother Heart explained. "Ya know, I'll be driving and all of a sudden I will feel it. And I'll just welcome it."
Earlier in the interview, Joaquin recalled how River would recommend movies when they were younger. But it was one film that changed his perspective on acting: "Raging Bull."
