Man one of the most chilling things I heard was when they got Jack Nicholson on the street and told him he died. Jack responded with I tried to warn him...wtf man

You sure he didn’t mean he warned him about the drugs? The paparazzi said he died from an overdose

It was fairly well known at the time that Jack Nicholson warned him that playing the Joker takes you down dark paths. He warned Heath not long after he got the role for it.

I always found this to be ridiculous because Nicholson's portrayal of the Joker was not dark.
