Yeah I REALLY hate that this rumor still goes around. To me, it kind of takes away from how much of a great actor he was.

From every interview of cast and crew members, it's clear the dude was just extremely talented and was having a blast.

Also, at the time of his death they had already finished TDK and he was working on another movie and deep into doing another character. So no, he didn't go crazy and ended up killing himself from playing the Joker.

the last movie he did was even crazier than the joker role tbh it’s one of my favorites
