  • I would give up any actor to have him back. He's the best.

  • Thank you for posting this. Way to carry on the legacy!

  • My husband. <3 I miss you.

  • all the good people die young... R.I.P. Heath Ledger :( we'll miss you forever <3

  • He sounds like Chris Hemsworth (who is also australian) and looks a little like Joseph gordon-levitt (who was in 10 things i hate abt you with him 1999) I love you heath, such a wonderful actor, person n damn beautiful.

  • Why did he have to die? He was such an amazing human being...

  • I love his voice.

  • 2:40 "Stilness" Joker?

  • I thought he was talking about 'A Knight's Tale' before he said Ang, guess he was talking about 'Brokeback Mountain'

  • Omg he's hot. R.i.p

  • why is it so hard to concentrate in any of the charlie rose interviews? at the end i always ask myself, "what the hell were they talking about?" maybe it's the dark background that kills my concentration.

  • australian actors <3

  • God bless Him!!

  • He didn't sound Australian. He sounded British, like Orlando Bloom. No one here sounds as posh as him. lol

  • We all lost a great actor! RIP Heath.. you will be remembered!

  • R.I.P.Heath!

  • It's so nice to see him. He looks so "alive". just kidding.

  • @Trinder3467 Hahahahahahaha . . . wrong, BUT HILARIOUS : )

  • @Trinder3467 funny

    

  • @Trinder3467 loool i feel horrible for laughing at that.

  • R.I.P. Heath Ledger. We miss you.

  • Ironically Heath is talking about potential. It's a damn pity he never got to fulfill his own...

  • @palpatine17 he did in the dark knight. Best acting ever!

  • HEATH,i miss you so much,you were so talented and amazin at ur work!!!!!!! u will never ever be Forgotton!!!! we all love you and miss u very deeply..

    i know ur spirit is watching over all of us :)

  • many times i don't buy accidental overdose as "accidental". i see ledger's overdose as indirect suicide, very very close to deliberate. based on a recording of ledger painfully ambivalent about his drug habit as he is using, i say the intense pressure he was under caused his death. what pressure? the combination of being a tremendously sensitive, self-effacing, compassionate, successful artist. is this combination an intractable road to extremely self-destructive behavior? please reply

  • Its cool how his accent was nit in dark knight. Perfect joker. Period.

  • @b4ckman My mistake. Actually it should have been you.

  • Another actor cut short by his battle with drugs and demons. Should have been Charlie Sheen instead of Heath.

  • @southport97 It wasn't really a battle with drugs, more an accidental overdose due to a mixture of sleeping medications. Tragic nonetheless.

  • @southport97 Please don't try to minimize what happened. I'm sure he's done this countless times in the past without incident, but how many times has someone ran a red light before they got busted, or someone that's shoplifted countless times before they eventually got popped? You're basically gambling with your future when you tempt fate. Chris Farley, John Belushi, River Phoenix and Heath Ledger. I'm sure they will not be the last. Ryan Dunn was on borrowed time, so I won't even go into that.

  • @southport97 Don't say that. I am a big fan of Heath, but there's no reason to wish someone else death. Yes, it's a tragedy that such talent is gone, but wishing some1 else to die is just wrong.

  • @MisterCovek I said that in jest at the time of Charlie Sheen's meltdown and media blitz.. Wow, we really have turned into a easily-offended, hyper-sensitive and overly PC lot, haven't we?

  • @anebt You are so right, but odds are the benzo's were already his mistress for a long time, being a xanax addict myself I wish I had found seroquel earlier, but man that stuff is potent. I took a 100mg @ my friends house and was a friggin' bobble head on the way home... I got out of my truck and went directly to the bed....good times.

  • oh and damn i love the way he clears his throat!!

  • heyy that's the Joker suit!!

  • brilliant brilliant actor. and he seems like such a great man... much love to heath, RIP

  • Gosh... I think I'm gonna download this clip just to be able to listen to his voice whenever I want. His voice is amazing.

  • 20 dislikes? why so serious :(

  • @xxxToshio Old.

  • @xxxToshio Old.

  • REST IN PEACE

  • I love you whyd you have to die? Not fucking fair

  • Truly an artist, not a movie star... fame was his achillles heel. Like a star, he burnt out at his brightest... we've lost more then just a matinee idol.

  • He was an amazing actor.

  • he seemed so accomplished in so little work that he did with all his talent. it seems that he needed something else that no one else and nothing else could give him. he seemed unsatisfied with his 100%, while we felt he was perfect. such a high standard of this man. interesting personality, a person worth admiring.

  • Comment removed

  • what movie is he talking about??

  • @lizrossman1

    im assuming brokeback since he is talking about ang lee in the interview

  • Heath would have been huge

  • @balaalalaslk He already was

  • and i miss him too..... :(((

    the lovely actor, heath leadger

  • i miss him =/

  • he is tolking about the Patriot

  • @Alex5000x1  No, it's about Brokeback Mountain..

  • what movie is he talking about

  • He is truly missed.

  • Fuck, we lost a good one.

  • @mellowmark1 yeah

  • He died lulz

  • @MasterTaters Obvious troll is obvious. Even if you're intention is not to be a troll, you're still coming on this video with a comment like that in hopes of an angry reaction form Ledger fans. Either way, you're not accomplishing anything except making yourself look like a jackass.

  • @pwnshop1 LOL youre jking when he said he was huge or what?Ledger was very unknown idiot he wasnt huge at all 90% of his new fans didnt know who he was before batman

  • @pwnshop1 *you said

  • @c64c64c64

    how can you throw ledger into the cage like that..

  • heath ledger was the joker in the batman movie and he could have been the joker again and again plus could have made more movies witch im sure would all be good.too bad the idiots couldn't wake him up from the antidepressant overdose or something.

  • @LuciferAtram Yeah blame someone else huh ??? He also could have benn takin up the rear on hump back valley over and over too right ya fuck knuckle

  • unfortunately our choices are often also influenced by drugs or other mood altering substances.with impaired judgment we make tragic situations for ourselves, and many people talk about blackouts from which they don't remember a thing. you have no idea how many crimes are commited during blackouts.

  • In the final shot in Brokeback, Ledger posts a photo of the mountain to his closet in the ramshackle trailer he is living in, and then he breaks down and cries. Very few male actors could pull off the intense emotionality Health displayed in that scene. Possibly the greatest talent of his generation. He is sorely missed.

  • Intelligent person. Pretty rare among moviestars in Hollywood. He really was an actor.

  • stillness, people. stillness. don't argue..

  • Another actor who could have gone far but gave more about him damn drugs than his career and child! Pathetic!

    RIP! Heath, but Nicholson was a better Joker.

  • @retrofann1 troll

  • @chanelprincess16 bitch!

  • @retrofann1 DAMN, that was very "generous" and "magnanimous" tribute!!!!!!

  • @theman2017inc So, it is true. Got no sympathy for drug heads who waste their lives on that shit. Heath is where he is at because he put himself there.

  • @retrofann1 PERHAPS

    BUT If you have nothing positive to say, don't say anything!!!!!

  • @retrofann1 Who are you to look down your nose at someone? You are open to the same weaknesses as every other human being, weather it be drugs or whatever. Yes he did put himself where he is, but thats all the more reason to feel sorry for him. He was a person, made from the same dust of the earth you are, and open to the same weaknesses.

    The lack of sympathy you feel is a big reason why people die in the first place.

  • @HillbillyJ First off not looking down on anyone. Never done drugs my entire life. Can think of better things to do with my time. All that fame and money and that is what ends up happening, pathetic. Got no sympathy for people like that and cant feel sorry for stupidity. Maybe he should have thought of his daughter growing up without her father before doing that garbage.

  • @retrofann1 Get your facts straight. There was zero illegal drugs found in his body or apartment. The only thing they found in his system was different types of sleeping pills(he had insomnia since he was a little kid) and anxiety pills. He was too dependent on pills to help him with this sleeping and anxiety problems and started to abuse them but it's not as if he was doing cocaine or heroin.

  • @JNicholson77 My facts straight? Did i say Illegal drugs? NO! he was a drug head or pill head, either way and his abuse of them put him where he is.

    My fact is he was was a druggie and he overdosed on PILLS, DRUGS! the same damn thing and when there is overdose the end result is the same.

    Sad but true!

  • @JNicholson77 he had tons narcotics not just sleeping pills he nvr had problems since he was little

  • @fuckgd1 There were ZERO illegal drugs found in his system. The medical examiner and police department confirmed that.

  • @JNicholson77 i know that doesnt change the fact he took tons of drugs

  • @retrofann1 If you've never done drugs how can you claim to understand someone elses reason for doing them? You assume an awful lot. Better whys to spend your time, huh? Like sitting at your compouter trashing someone you never met?

    Everyone makes stupid move at some point in their life. Being uncaring doesn't help anyone, esp. not the people that are still on drugs who need someone to reach out and say "I care." Not "your stupid." How does that help?

  • @HillbillyJ First off you dont even know me, second of all dont criticize me for sitting on the computer commenting when you are replying to people you never met and trash talking as well, "hypocrite". Third I have been around plenty of people and seen what drugs can do, I have never claimed i did not know anything about drug heads so stop making assumptions yourself. I have dealt with it enough to know it is a waste of time and life and want nothing to do with it.

  • @retrofann1 first off man ive been looking into your thoughts about people and its the fucking situation you are put in that molds you into who you are dick just because you dont do drugs and look down on those people doesnt make you ANY better, for if you were born into their shoes u would be where they are so fuck you

  • @TylerMolloy1 First off BITCH! If I want any shit out of you I will squeeze your head. Second of all moron you are funny "Born into those shoes, you would be there"! Nobody is born into that drug shit, your life is what you make it and CHOICES A PERSON makes. Anybody who doesn't get into that shit is a BETTER PERSON because they dont let it come in to destroy their lives so FUCK YOU

  • @retrofann1 wow your an idiot

  • @TylerMolloy1 LMAO! You call me an idiot. Truth hurt. What I said makes perfect sense, guess you are too damn stupid to get it but then again anybody who would be dumb enough to say if you are "born into their shoes you would be there" must be on some serious drugs themselves but in your case probably some ignorant dumbass would say something that retarded. Says it a lot for you pal. Seems like you were born into stupidity.

  • @retrofann1

    "Nobody is born into that drug shit, your life is what you make it and CHOICES A PERSON makes." And you're sitting there. Alone. Artistic. Some so called friends. But deep down, you know they're not. And a friendly manager. But deep down. And hotel in, hotel out. Walk this carpet. Hey, here are some friend of mine. Does anybody say phony? A real fan, a sweet treasure. But again that autograph. If life is JUST a chose, why Britney, Lindsay and soon Montana?

  • @wimscheers Ok, do you have a point to make other than rambling on and making no sense?

  • @retrofann1

    @retrofann1

    The assertion that "your life is what CHOICES A PERSON makes." is BS.

    I give you this, the ultimate chose is yours, however difficult. But let’s face it, its complete BS to say that every decision in life is the purely and uninfluenced personal choice you’re implying. If a suicidal persons best friend is a heroin addicted nihilist or a humanist psychologist, do you honestly think this won’t make a difference,

  • @wimscheers BS! LMAO! Your life is what you make it and the choices you make like I said. Are you gonna jump off a bridge because your friend does? Are you gonna shoot up because your friend does? No! What is bullshit is anybody that gets into that drug life is pathetic and I got no sympathy for and using your life issues as an excuse to get into that drug life is just a bullshit crutch to lean on by some weak willed person who cant deal with life.

  • @retrofann1 it wasnt suicide

  • @TruthTellers1979 No shit! I never said it was suicide, but yeah it was in a way because he was a drug head slowly killing himself.

  • @retrofann1 he was trying to get better, he was having insomnia and was very tired all the time, and at the time that he went to london to shoot the imaginarium of doctor parnassus he was sick and it was cold in london so that didn't help either. as someone already pointed out it was not suicide.

  • @wimscheers Please make sense....and soon as you keep dirsturbuting your opinoin, worthless as it may be, about. All life is objectiive. period. nothing else to say. throw in you worthless, unjustified mystical beliefs.....each life is objective....ie...your opinion of others doesnt matter......figure it out.....

  • @makersmark90

    "Please make sense...." Ironically enough, I don’t seem to get the gist of your post ...

    All I’m stating is that friends, family, catastrophes, nature, nurture, the land your born in, your education, and the list goes on and on, have a profound effect on your decisions. Ultimately, yes, we can claim personal responsibility, but this should be taken with the understanding that your choices are greatly influenced by circumstances.

  • @retrofann1 But why?

  • God bless you buddy! You were a great actor! I am sure you are missed by those who got a chance to know you and others like myself who wished they knew you!

  • A legendary interview with Heath.

  • I guess i never really gave him the credit he diserved until he died... that sucks.

  • @iggyflorezz :-( yeah!

  • @theman2017inc boo you guys

  • God I miss him

  • Great actor!

  • He truly was an old soul.

  • heath was a great actor vocally. he could adapt,

  • an interview for monsters ball, great movie, love that man. him, matt damon, daniel day lewis. incredible actors

  • Heath moves like a people who strugges with early stage youth parkinson's and is already on medication... seriously

  • Comment removed

  • @AntiGDYB

    yeah he did, that's how he died, idiot.

  • @popomczowzow its was actually meds u moron

  • @chanelprincess16

    ...which are drugs. that's why you buy them at a drugstore. they were prescription drugs. any substance that you take that alters your state of mind is a drug. sleeping pills are drugs, adderall is a drug, painkillers are drugs. a drug isn't always a bad thing.

  • @popomczowzow every1 takes them even babie who have sore throat or cold

    no ur the one saying meds are bad but yes they are in lethal doses

  • @chanelprincess16

    I never said meds/drugs were bad. I actually said, "a drug isn't always a bad thing."

    there's nothing bad about them when used correctly, it's when you don't need them and/or you mix them

  • @chanelprincess16

    I never said meds/drugs were bad. I actually said, "a drug isn't always a bad thing."

    there's nothing bad about them when used correctly, it's when you don't need them and/or you mix them when it gets bad

  • @popomczowzow yeah someone shouldve been there for him to prevent it i wish i could turn back time

  • Chihuahuas are not humans!!!! Stop putting them in your purses people!!!!!

  • Good actor.

  • I seriously think this guy would have gone on to make so many awesome movies. he was a true talent that doesn't come along too often. just watch him in brokeback mountain. this guy had serious talent. such a damn shame.

  • @93johnk we shouldnt talk about it. too sad guys

  • RIP you seemed like you had it in you to give a good few great movies

  • Who would imagine Heath as the best Joker ever.

  • He is so cute guy.

    God bless you!

  • it's hard to believe he was the joker....seriously he just disappeared in that role. 

  • Comment removed

  • @AntiGDYB

    that was all just a cover...

    He wanted my body...

  • @Hammersley1967

    And you? What did you do?, Did you scared or something? He is an actor, he could be anything he wants, right?

    I'm a girl and i do support the men who feel comfortable and save with other men.

    I'm also trusting and i support the love between people.

    Peace!!!

  • @Hammersley1967 You are not all australians, ok?

    No comment.

  • @Hammersley1967, Try to be more tolerant to people special features. Give them right to be what they wanted to be and to express their feelings and emotions how they feel it. Insulting them, condemning them you actually, make them unhappy and oppressed, they, in fact, die unhappy and prematurely. Do not get me wrong, my mother died when i was at five and I know about the sadness and the lonеliness.

    Be happy!!! :)))

  • @hollyhock18

    BUT HE RAPED ME!!!

  • @Hammersley1967 OOO, I wish it, too, :))))

  • @hollyhock18

    You're laughing at me?

    MY ARSE IS A MESS!!!

    WHAT THE HELL IS THE MATTER WITH YOU!!?

  • @Hammersley1967 Better ask yourself!

    "If you hate a person, you hate something in him that is part of yourself. What isn't part of ourselves, doesn't disturb us." - Hermann Hesse

    I thing that our dialog is over now.

  • @hollyhock18

    So Heath Ledger can just go around raping whoever he likes and get away with it?

  • it's funny how little i read praise for the knight's tale even though I think it's one of his best.

  • Heath was wonderful actor i miss him TT-TT

  • Heath was a wonderful actor and human being. He was taken from this world way too early. RIP

  • Simply a UNIQUE actor. A real actor/movie Star. An immortal one. 

  • i think he looks good here and his voice... no words needed right?

    i miss him

  • Charlie rose that old dick shouldve posted this in 2005

    yet posted it a day after his death..

  • what a great movie.. his performance was brilliant, I could relate a lot to his character fighting himself and being unable to express himself, i think he played it wonderfully :)

  • Heath is not the only person

  • Comment removed

  • Great actor that passed too soon, RIP Heath!

  • "Battling the generations before him." Ennis had no choice but to be who he was within the time in which he lived. Ang would tell Heath, play it close. Heath followed good direction, and as a result gave a signature performance.

  • He's talking about 'Brokeback Mountain'

  • What movie is he discussing?!

  • R.I.P :'( <3 

  • too bad he dead

  • Method actor that went do deep into the well and couldn't pull himself out. He took on the Joke purely and went sincerely mad. A normal person can't deal with that kind of character being a part of you so now he's dead.

    I must say I didn't think much of him till I saw him as the joker and literally could not tell it was him. He was the Fuggin Joker! Great character actor indeed. RIP.

  • We miss him... RIP, Heath...

  • this nigga is dead:D he was the best joker ever.

  • @punkpunkkid dont call him that

  • Poor Heath, he was so young...

  • Eric Roberts must have been right:Heath sounds like a sweetie pie.May he rest in peace.

  • It's a damn shame! :(

  • r.i.p. heath ledger

  • You could show me this interview and then every single character in every single superhero movie ever made, and the very last one I would ever pick would be TDK's Joker. I'd even pick Mr. Freeze and Catwoman first. THAT'S how insanely great of an actor he was to completely change his entire self for the role.

  • Such an amazing actor. One of the best actors (and most intelligent and genuine) there ever was. It's tragic that he died so young. He might've made so many more great films as well. :(

  • Comment removed

  • Best Actor

  • @jbarquet19 ummmmmmmmmmmmmmm no good yes best no

  • How is it messed up??? He's Australian with an Australian accent. Thats how we talk.

  • you suppose incorrectly.....
