Heath Ledger's Sister Says Turning Into The Joker Was NOT His Cause Of Death, Shockingly

Independent- “I was really shocked because that was him having fun,” Kate told the audience at a Q&A, according to The Telegraph. “Every report was coming out that he was depressed and that [the role] was taking this toll on him, and we’re going, honestly, it was the absolute opposite. It couldn’t be more wrong.”

“He had an amazing sense of humor, and I guess maybe only his family and friends knew that, but he was having fun. He wasn’t depressed about the Joker!”

In my opinion, there are two movies in the history of movies that are one hundred percent perfect from top to bottom. The Empire Strikes Back and The Dark Knight. When I tell people that, I’d say 50% of them have a *!~FUN FACT~!* for me.

“Did you know the reason Heath Ledger killed himself is because he turned into The Joker?”

Every one of them thinks it’s an exclusive scoop that’s going to blow my mind. For a while it died down, until that fuck Jared Leto tried to out-Joker the guy who died from being The Joker. Sent his cast members used condoms, rats, pig heads, all of that shit.

“He better be careful! Heath Ledger killed himself because he went full Joker, you know. It seems like Jared is getting awfully close!”

SHUT THE FUCK UP! Playing The Joker is not some kind of brutal psychological task. He’s one of the greatest villains of all time, and one of my personal favorites. Possibly my actual favorite! But acting is called acting for a reason. It’s fake. Not real. F-A-K-E. Fictional. It’s make believe. It’s dress up. It’s pretend. Nobody, including that fucking hack fraud Daniel Day Lewis, should ever take this shit so seriously that they feel the need to BECOME the character. Heath Ledger didn’t become the Joker, and kill himself because of that. Homeboy OD’d. Simple as that. RIP in peace.
