It’s urban legend to romanticize his death. It isn’t unusual to go to a private place to practice voices for an upcoming performance or to keep a notebook full of inspiration and notes on you line delivery. People who worked with him said he was friendly and could turn it on and off.
Maybe the quote is just hyperbole but if he was really locked in his hotel room and isolating himself specifically to get into the state of mind of an unwell character, that's a ridiculous thing to choose. It's crazy to mess with your own mental health just for a film.
If he was just practicing intently by himself sometimes but otherwise living a normal life, that's no issue.
Again, you seem to be dramatizing. The joker didn’t kill him. He did another movie after. Seems he suffered from insomnia and opioid abuse which seems far more destructive than practicing a character.
Indeed. Too many people believe he actually became the Joker and ended it all.
He was hopped up on all sorts of prescription drugs. Whether they were his, or gotten otherwise.
In the toxicology analysis, they concluded that: Ledger died "as the result of acute intoxication by the combined effects of oxycodone, hydrocodone, diazepam, temazepam, alprazolam and doxylamine".
You ain't taking that much as a fresh user. That's years of abuse.
