Hot star, cool guy Heath Ledger dead at 28
.
Actor Heath Ledger was found dead in a New York City
apartment on January 22nd. Heath was born April 4th, 1979,
in Perth Australia. He was nominated for an Oscar portraying
cowboy Ennis Del Mar in the 2005 film Brokeback Mountain.
Heath Ledger was supposed to play The Joker in the upcoming
Batman movie. Heath meditated for a month to prepare for the role.
.
Heath told Empire magazine:
“It’s a combination of reading all the comic books I could that were relevant
to the script and then just closing my eyes and meditating on it.
I sat around in my London hotel room for about a month,
locked myself away, formed a little diary and experimented with voices –
it was important to try to find a somewhat iconic voice and laugh.”
Heath went on to reveal,
“I ended landing more in the realm of a psychopath –
someone with almost no conscience towards his acts.
He’s just an absolute sociopath, a cold-blooded, mass-murdering clown,
and Chris has given me free rein. Which is fun, because there are no real
boundaries to what The Joker would say or do.
Nothing intimidates him, and everything is a big joke.”
Hollywood has lost a major rising star, but Heath will
always live on in the hearts of his fans, friends and family.
Hollywood lost much more than a great actor, Hollywood
lost a great and humble man, who was never caught up
in the “I am a star” ego trip.
Some stars need to belong in the heavens.
But Heath Ledger’s warmth and light will always be upon
us, and he will never be forgotten.
.
Rest In Peace, Heath Ledger.
April 4th, 1979 – January 22nd, 2008
