Australia's heart was broken when we heard of Heath's death. What a wonderful actor. As a young TV star, he broke a million girl's hearts. He was every mother's son. We will never forget him.

[@anndavis2920]

My eyes adored looking at him and my ears adored hearing his accent. I miss him, he was gorgeous and did not deserve to be gone so soon

A Knight"s Tale is a movie I can watch over and over again. What a great actor. RIP 🙏 👍

[@loriobrien7957]

Love a knights tale. Have watched that one over and over again.

[@helenhoward5346]

It's crazy to me how versatile and highly skilled he was in all his pursuits. Definitely a rare gem of a human being.

[@ny21live]

Not only the best Joker, one of the Top 10 best acting performances of all time

[@georgecarberry9222]

A Knight's Tale was easily one of Heath's best movies. Losing him was a true tragedy. He is sorely missed to this day & will always be missed.

[@stormdavis3178]

Heath was just on another level. His timing, subtle nuances, expressions and voice inflections were genius alone.

[@SgtD85]

RIP Heath 15 years gone but never forgotten

[@gabyponte6497]

Hard to believe it's been that long. We really lost someone special way too soon. Can u imagine what roles he would've played? The incredible reprotoire he would've acquired? We really missed out. So sad. Beautiful human in every way. Hope he's at peace

[@ecufile4095]

Amen to that. Miss him, he wash great, and would be the greatest actor, like Bruce Willis, how did more than 100 movies, Just why he did what he did. Just be missing. Greetings from a big fan, from Holland.

If Heath Ledger was such a brilliant comic villainous actor before thirty Imagine what he could do if he were still here?.

[@oldcreekroadpictures]

I'll never forget when I heard the news Heath Ledger was going to play the Joker in the Dark Knight; I (like many others shrugged) to the idea that he would be a good choice; I have never been so wrong. What an Actor. Truly missed

[@ronsorage78]

I remember seeing him with other things but Knight's Tale was where it struck me.....this kid is good. He is something special. I wish with all my heart that he had more time. The great performances that could have been.

[@carlbeamon1343]

Amazing Biography so pleased that I tumbled upon it. Always admired Heath for his honest feelings in acting it's what makes great actors stand out above the rest in their field. Truly a missed actor!

[@paradisedreaming6363]

Why did he have to die? He was way too young, had a little girl to take care of and had decades of amazing work ahead of him….way too sad for me….RIP Heath! Will always adore you❤️

Не могу смотреть без слез … 😢 Своим уходом , он разбил нам сердце … 💔 Талант ! Красота души и сердца ! Неповторимый ! Невероятный ! Неприкосновенный! 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸

[@SimonLacey-MySleekDesigns]

I remember the day he died. I wasnt a fan but i watched a few movies and was really looking forward to the dark knight. Not many actors deaths bother me but his passing did. I was in the midst of oppiate addiction and this really opened my eyes. It could have been me. I went to rehab 6 months later and sobered up. Rip Heath.

[@crystalsherman8896]

I just hope he didn't kill himself and it was an accident. He was a very talented actor. It's sad how people get on drugs and ruin their lives. May he continue to r.i.p.

[@morellapoe2814]

Everything seems to point to accidental overdose.

[@samthunders3611]

He overdosed on mixing script drugs probably one pill or 2 pills two many and weak from pneumonia which is respiratory and the drugs messed its his ability to breathe normally..those pills slow repress all that slow the system down Could happen to anyone no addiction needed..

[@StellaAdler_]

He was exhausted - went straight from the dark night to london to film the imaginarium of doctor parnassus (a movie full of symbolism and it gave me the icks). The inspiration for the Joker’s voice was the actor who played the devil in that movie. Quite strange. Heath got pneumonia and was really sick, flew back to NYC, could!’t sleep well since the dark night wrapped & he just took more that night. After I got over the shock of his death, I was furious that one of the Olsen twins who gave him the pills got protection when the enquiry into his death started.

[@jamiebelle6536]

Definitely loved him in 10 Things, loved that movie! (even memorized Julia's own "10 Things" from that scene 😂❤) As well as in A Knight's Tale. He was def one of my fave Hollywood actors. ❤

[@jennymontague851]

I always wondered about how Heath died. The media was yapping about his role as the Joker getting to him too deeply and psychotically and that it drove him to madness of sorts. I didn't know about all the drugs and other things that came to light later. So sad to lose such a talented and gifted actor. My favorite pictures with Heath were A Knights Tale and Brokeback Mountain.

[@magdolnaszatmari7951]

he suffered from insomnia, he was also sick, he took a lot of medicine, he died because of this.

[@darkhillseuropeanmountsLLC]

Loved that man I still can't believe he's gone. The joker role was truly amazing

[@alandowning7460]

Yoooo I commented and asked if you guys could do Heath on a different video and I’m so happy you guys did! Thank you guys!

[@jwnj9716]

Not the biggest fan of the Nolan trilogy. Dark Knight is the best one for sure and Heath did an excellent job. You felt his presence throughout the film. His joker just captivated your attention. Very similar to The Hitcher. I just prefer Nicholson's Joker and Burton's world more.

[@melaniacoppola702]

Wenn ich über ihn und seinen Tod nachdenke, frage ich mich jedesmal warum kein Mensch mitbekommen hat, wie schlecht es ihm ging. Ich habe keinen Zweifeln daran, dass seine Emotionen ihn überwältigt haben und er keinen Umgang damit fand, außer zu Medikamenten zu greifen. Anderseits war gerade seine emotionale Welt, die ihm zu der hervorragenden Schauspielkunst gebracht haben. Weder glaube ich, dass er der Gefahr seiner Entscheidung bewusst war, noch, dass er der glückliche Mensch war, den viele seiner Freunden und Kollegen beschreiben. Die ganze Welt schaute auf ihn und dabei wurde seine Not völlig übersehen. Spätestens wenn er selbst erzählte, dass er nicht länger als 2 Stunden schlafen konnte, pausenlos dachte, die Trennung von der Ehefrau und Tochter so schmerzlich war, hätte man ihm dringend raten müssen, innen zu halten und auf sich -ganz anders als mit Drogen/ Medikamenten- Acht zu geben. Ein großartiger, feiner Mann und Schauspieler.

[@coolelve333]

i loved him in The Dark Knight: He is My favorite Joker of all time and loved him in A Knight's Tale

[@karmaklutz]

#HeathLedger was one of my favorite actors (and still is) when he passed away it was the first time I ever cried over a celebrity~ I was 20 yrs old

[@57113]

Thank you for keeping this biography decent and revealing the wonderal attributes and acting ability, his generous personality and his humbleness. His sudden death caused much grief among his colleagues in Hollywood. Also keep in mind Heath is still mourned by his loving and close family who lost a beloved son and brother. Thank you for being respectful of their feelings and privacy. ❤ 20:03

[@whysoserious652]

Heath gave the greatest villain performance of all time.

[@dannyrodriguez6960]

This guy was definitely one of my favorite actors.. love him and Batman and a Knight's tale but the one movie I sure wish you would have made would have been portraying Andy Gibbs. Often look at pictures of Andy Gibb's in different stages of his life as well as Heath ledger's life and I quickly found that both of these two guys had a lot in common and looks and I always thought he would be the one to do the best job of portraying Andy Gibb's life story. But when I found out he past a way it quickly send my soul in to a sad spin.. knowing that there's no one in the world that could have portrayed Andy gifts better than Heath ledger could have done.. R.I.P

[@katemaloney4296]

The lesson to be taken from Heath's passing is to make sure that your Last Will & Testament is updated and current.

[@lesliek6192]

The greatest villain of all time!

[@calfiger]

Can you make one on Rock Hudson? You don't see a lot of biographies for him (besides the one on Max)

[@Junkmailcrusades]

it's literally insane how favored by god he was.. 10/10 looks, 10/10 charisma, smart, really smart, intricate, introspective, down to earth and not egotistical considering he probably shoulda been considering most ppl with half his assets are... No homo and definitely no hate but fr, i find it hard to imagine having every box checked as a man

[@LetsSingTheDoomSong]

River Phoenix would be a great video subject 🥰

[@rohama8]

His voice just alone! Gosh! No one has ittttt. That voice is everything....

[@davidbateleur8357]

I lived in Prague when Knights Tale was being filmed and got on set during filming which was cool... sadly i didnt see Heath Ledger :(

[@baylorsailor]

I can totally relate with imposter syndrome. It can be crippling.

[@sinatraskitten]

Brokeback Mountain was not a romantic comedy. It was a romantic drama

[@georgecarberry9222]

It was a tragedy & drama about the plight of two gay men, both in the closet. The tragedy was that they had to hide their love or risk their lives. It was heartbreaking.

[@calfiger]

Oh man, who thought it was a romantic comedy???

[@StellaAdler_]

Phenomenal actor. His last month, before he passed… He was exhausted - went straight from the dark night to london to film the imaginarium of doctor parnassus (a movie full of symbolism and it gave me the icks). The inspiration for the Joker’s voice was the actor who played the devil in that movie. Quite strange. Heath got pneumonia and was really sick, flew back to NYC, could!’t sleep well since the dark night wrapped & he just took more that night.

I would like to request more female biographies... Lisa Marie Presley, Janis Joplin, Annie Lennox, Meryl Streep, Whitney Houston... to name a few.

[@calfiger]

Whitney Houston and Annie Lennox would be good ones 👍🏾

[@brianargo1659]

That's what I never could understand. It said 6 different drugs at once. That's not always the case. Because anyone of those drugs stay in ur system for at least a week. So he could have taken 5 of those drugs within a weeks time. Then took the 6th drug on the day he died or even the day before.

[@CollinThomasEverett]

Quite a few inaccuracies in celebs names and movie titles. It’s Rose Byrne, not Rose Bryne. It’s called ‘From Hell’, not ‘In From Hell’. You make somebody with OCD lose their mind. Aka me.

I loved Heath’s performance in this movie, along with his talent in numerous other movie and TV performances. I wouldn’t go as far as to say his was the greatest portrayal of a villain in the history of cinema. As an Aussie I’m proud of his achievements in a lifetime that was much too short!

[@sechmetblessings]

A knights tale I must have watched 20 times , and 10 things I hate about you. That song he sang to Julia stiles whi can ever forget him trying to make up for embarrassing her on their first date? Just a versatile and amazing young man and actor. Must have been a great guy as well I mean to get 4 other A-list actors to pitch in after his death to finish his film Mr magoriums wonder imperium.

[@hmat3255]

"The best that, the best this", when are people going to learn that there is no such thing as "best" in art, in my opinion at least. His art is great because of his passion, commitment, soul, his preparedness, his curiosity, his perseverance to show his take on the Joker. Lastly because he worked hard not because he was the "best". That's what shows through the screen. No, Heath Ledger was not the "best" Joker, but a very, very great Joker who is immortalised in cinema.

I believe it was the combination of the drugs and not the intention of the drugs used. Unfortunately, and very sad, this has happened to others. We don’t know about the others because they are not famous people. He was too young and was very talented. I may have been troubled with depression and sleep disorders but he also loved his daughter too much to leave her intentionally. I can only hope and pray that those who are close to her have told her the same.
