  • Love DDL.

  • Daniel Day Lewis is a good man

  • @RichardCrehan ddl never knew ledger

  • Fucking a!

  • if ledger hadn't died, he'd be just another run-of-the-mill middle-of-the-road actor.

    remember tom cruise's performance in born on the 4th of july or brad pitt's performance in 12 monkeys? if either of those doods had died after their movies were released but before the academy awards, they'd have won post-humus oscars just like ledger. it's all a bullshit popularity contest and all 3 of em were good, not great.

    go watch a knight's tale and tell me he was on the verge of greatness haha

  • @therealsolstice first of all. a knights tale was a good movie. it wasnt fuckin citizen kane or anything but it was still good , and he was good in it. second of all , he didnt win he oscar for a knights tale, he won it for dark knight which he was crazy in. sooo.... ur obviously just looking for attention.

  • @therealsolstice

    I'm sorry, but his performance on the Joker would have won an Oscar whether he had died or not.

  • HE should be the Riddler on Dark Knight 3

  • the first guy who quoted there will be blood...eh. the 15th guy: learn to be more original, thats sad. sadder than E.

  • That is why I LOVE Daniel Day Lewis!!! great actor and intelligent human being!!!

  • @ AntiGDYB: Who cares if he never met Heath. He's right, people should just be minding their own damn business. I'm just surprised he didn't break down in a slur of curses to let them know how he really felt. RIP Heath Ledger, and <3 to Daniel Day-Lewis

  • Naturally, the classiest motherfucker in Hollywood doesn't like tabloid journalism.

  • I agree with what he's saying, i love to hear about people i admire and i loved ledger's work and was intrigued by him and wanted to learn about him but when someone dies once i've heard that news and then maybe heard a few tributes i think it's time to lay it to rest. The family most of all need to be left to deal with it. God bless Daniel Day Lewis and Heath Ledger.

  • Makes me like Daniel Day even more.

  • Very true. Makes me like Daniel Day even more. What a gentlemen.

  • You spelt sombre wrong in the description Mr. Respectful YouTube uploader, well done for failing Heath Ledger! You have destroyed his legacy!

  • kind of ironic that this video was posted by the associated press now isn't it?

  • @RichardCrehan noo daniel is not

  • DDL iz the best actor n if itwas an actor to play the joker its OBV him

  • Lewis should crack some skulls with a bowling pin, that should do the trick!

  • @EchoBoomer1987 I was feeling so emotional until I saw your comment. Best Youtube comment I´ve ever read!! honestly

  • It became my business when he took a cocktail of 6 medications, including one I have prescribed to me. I had to live with the fear of being cut off because of what some overrated actor did. He didn't show consideration to his family by committing suicide. Yes, it was suicide. If he thought he was going to wake up after taking a 6 barbituate cocktail he was foolish. He knew he wasn't waking up.

  • @kencoa It's poison, even if it doesn't kill you it does mess upp your brain on the long term. Try to quit with that stuff.

  • class act mr. lewis

  • The Greatest actor alive

  • I've written a song dedicated to Daniel Day Lewis. If you'd like to listen please go to my channel.

  • YEAHHH DANIEL!!!!!

  • DANIEL DAY LEWIS FOR THE NEW JOKER!!

  • @saantinoo He would be an excellent Joker.

  • The whole thing smacks of a tragic accident, really. Yeah, Heath Ledger got really immersed in every role he ever played but he didn't start fucking cowboys after Brokeback Mountain and I really don't think he let playing The Joker get to him. I'm sad we'll never see him in anything again.

  • Good on him for saying that! :)

  • i know right?!(:

  • Wow, that was great

  • He has a point... =/

  • I drink your milkshake.

    I DRINK IT UP!

    EVERY DAY I DRINK UP THE BLOOD OF LAMB, FROM BANDIES TRACT

  • LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE!!!!

  • exactly..i dont buy into that entertainment "E" bullshit ,i couldnt care less for what they do in private,i just wanna watch their films,thats all.Fuck the paparazzi.

  • @9sunskungfu You are so onto it. I'm the same. Couldn't give a flying what they do in their personal lives. I just want to watch their workl

  • @9sunskungfu but see what sucks is that there are people out there who are just dying to hear about heath ledgers family..mostly fat women who live vicariously through "E" because they havnt left their house in years.

  • @9sunskungfu Oh man that channel is like the fucking Anti-Christ, except without all the cool rock'n roll and black metal.

  • You tell em Daniel!!! Woohoo!! LOL

  • Yeah stop.

  • you know whats weird ? Pappa-fkng-razzi can go around & film ppl & make money from it but we citizens cannot ? Its actually illegal to do so, at least where Im from (australia). Now why is that ?

  • Mate well said!

    We live in a country like NO other!!!

  • sorry mate your wrong - Australia has no privacy laws.

    Other wise we wouldnt be watching shit like the crap on Ch 7 current affairs bullshit propagandist media aimed at the foolish masses of middle class morons.

  • Johnnyjrotten59, are you saying that anyone can go around & film people on the street or the beach etc or anywhere in public ? And then take the filmed peoples footage without their consent & make videos & money from it ?

  • I've abandoned my child!

  • I'VE ABANDONED MY BOYYYY!

  • IVE ABONDONED MY MILKSHAKE!!!!

  • it's alright...i drank it...i drank it all up

  • i think we should abide by the words of the greatest actor alive. Daniel DAy Lewis!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @1992gabe Acting is not a competition.Nobody can tell who's best.By the way I admire some of his performances.

  • WE All have our opinions, i wasn't saying it to discredit any other actors. He is my favorite actor so i believe he is the best, but it doesn't make it true.

  • Drainage eli! DDDRRainage you boy.

  • I drink YOUR milkshake...

  • My straw reaches ACROOOOOOOSS the room!

  • In my home town, sometimes pigeons, squirrels...even deer, get a little over populated...a little out of hand? So too it seems the paparazzi? In such cases, sometimes authorities often just "open season"? Well then, arent we splitting hairs? Lets go hunt some paparazzi? What color are their feathers and tails again? Want to be sure. Everybody deserves their... privacy their dignity. Oui? So, 6 shot, 4 shot or Buck shot? 30-06? Wow? They must be huge? Happy hunting!

    Merci.

    Bonsoir.

  • Thank you, Mr. Day-Lewis.

    I also believe the stupid paparazzi should leave Heath's famiy alone and also other entertainers as well. Would YOU want cameras following you around after you lost someone special in your life? I think not.

  • Comment removed

  • he'd make an awsome Joker... there is certainly no denying that Ledger was amazing and mind blowing as the Joker but DDL is the better actor

  • Leave Heath ledger Alone,Leave him alone! maybe they should get Chris Crocker to back him up!

  • Well, I really don't care who is dating who, or who walks the red carpet wearing whose dress, and I abhor silly people who harrass celebrities. They should be left alone to do their jobs. But that won't happen. The performance is everything. What is sad is what is happening in the music industry, where volume and bling rule, and abusers walk away from punishment.

  • hmm i could see him as the joker if they put the joker in the third batman movie. i cant say he would be better than heath ledger though. heath ledger was the joker in my mind. better than any other joker in my opinion.

  • Day-Lewis is a pretty private person himself, isn't he? He must empathize with Ledger's family a lot. And am I too negative, or the media tries to mock him by imitating his words in the topic of this video? If so, they'd failed miserably.

  • my god his voice and speech was so different, I wanna see him pop into character

  • everyone becomes the best actor ever after they pass away

  • Does anyone said Anna Nicole Smith was "the best female actor ever"? In my opinion "No"....What about Dominique Dunn (Poltergeist) or Heather O'Rourke (Poltergeist)? Does anyone take notice of their death? In the same line like this Michael Jackson thing?I personally mourn for everyone of this actors, like they were distant reatives...

  • one of the best men, and THE BEST actor living today

  • kendow11: fucking ignorant bastard. He was a beautiful soul and he didn't deserve to die so young. We miss you Heath, and as for Lewis...he'd be happy with him...

  • One of the downsides of being a celebrity is the hounding by the media. Even in death. The media in my opinion are a bunch of heartless jerks, who will walk all over whoever gets in their way. I remember one interview with Shaun Penn a long time ago, This was after Princess Diana had died, and Shawn was being hounded by the press about something, and he said to the reporter and I quote "Shouldn't you be out killing a Princess somewhere"? I can't stand the media.

  • lol shawn penn is a badass

  • IK. I remember when he hung that papparazzi photographer by his feet from his balcony. Perhaps a bit extreme but kindve funny. What would you do if people wouldnt leave you alone?

    What doesnt help is that so many stupid Americans are actually obsessed with knowing what famous people are doing. Too many people care to know who Jennifer Aniston will be dating next. Leave them the f*** alone.

  • you some sort of idiot?

  • last of the mohicans, gangs of new york, there will be blood, my left foot...all amazing performances of his

  • Agreed! My favorite role he played was "The Butcher" in gangs of new york...last of the mohicans was awesome and so are all the other movies he acted in

  • he is so good

  • so right

  • he is fuckin right!

    great person!

  • One of the greatest actors ever too. If anyone can speak about Ledger, it's Lewis. He understands that passion better than anyone.

  • No matter what your opinion on it, I think he is being sincere

  • Great speech from maybe the best actor alive

  • Absolutely true for all actors and actresses. Great speech.

  • daniel day lewis is my idol lol, everyone watch there will be blood

  • I miss you Heath.

    RIP mon ange.

  • Anyone involved in the below argument is ruining an incredibly moving video that has an incredible point and a sentiment, from one great artist to another after his death. You actually sicken me using someone's death to post whatever hatred you apparently believe in.

  • 1) Biggot.

    2) Ignorant.

    3) Retard.

    =] You're a ignorant, retarded biggot. Learn how to say it so you can tell all your friends.

  • ...and the world can't rid itself of enough ignorant, stupid, homophobic, pigheaded pricks either.

  • stop talking shit

  • cool-i think he will be good

  • UHH - People, I think the Joker died in the Dark Knight movie. Daniel will not play the Joker becouse the Joker is dead in this series!

  • kendow11 - Why so serious???

    I will find you and put a smile on your Mothers face!!!!

  • If you dont like him, why did you watch the video? He did not die of aids it was an accidental overdose of prescription drugs and aids did not come from gay people, research it, it was a produced disease made by the governmnet. Also you use the word Fag so much it makes believe you may be in the closet!

  • Why some many spams on this comment?

  • how the hell can you say something like that.

    you're such a waste of space in this world. i mena god get a life.

    RIP heath, and if u can see this, go ahead and have a laugh at kendow here -__-.

  • Kendow11 you're such a piece of shit, I've watched another video like this where you've left a hateful comment about Heath Ledger and his death.

    Why don't you just keep your opinion to yourself, and fuck off! No one wants to hear it.

  • I love the joker character made by heath but the whole death thing has created a massive hype over the whole character, I think Day-Lewis will do a ellish job if this whole rumour thing comes true if you think about it this hype and death of Heath Ledger has set the bar really high and any actor who attempts to match up to his performance deserves alot of respect for stepping up :) jus my thoughts anyway

  • True the media hype tends to do that. Whether or not the hype helped him win the Oscar post-humously I think he deserved it. Just my opinion.

  • fuck you

  • Amen. Go dig a hole somewhere and stop bothering people.

    (to zerosk8er664, not DDL)

  • There ain't gunna be another joker, the DK sequal has new characters, no one would want to try those boots out on again in the shadow of Heath

  • Maybe should Daniel Day Lewis would make a cool joker or not? looking like a much more old and maturely insane , dont throw shit please, is a suggestion

  • I miss heath T_T

  • so do I...so do I.

  • daniel day lewis is just pure class, a great actor and a joy to watch in any movie, who is he meant to be playin in the dark knight? tht would be great and i could well see nolan goin for lewis in the batman movies. I think nolan loves them type of actors. p.s yeh i hope the joker character stays aswell. p.p.s love and rspect to heath ledgers family and friends. & daniel is correct it's nobodies business about his personal life,

  • I along with other people want Daniel Day-Lewis to take over the role of The Joker for Batman 3 or even Batman 4

  • man i cant wait to see this guy in the dark knight sequel..im glad its someone heath ledger knew rather than some shmuck.

  • i totally agree, it's good also that Daniel was such a fan of Heath's work so it'll be a tribute to his life.

  • Thanks babe.ur absolutely right.

  • Is daniel day lewis playing the joker next???

  • It hasn't been confirmed by director chris nolan,but their considering daniel lewis for the role.

  • Considering? He's amazing, he should be in every film. They should edit him into old fims.....i love him

  • Yeah i haven't heard anything else about the next batman film..But i feel the same way.Daniels is fantastic!,and i think he looks a little like heath too.

  • Heath is irrepleceable and everybody knows that...but the game goes on...even without sweety, big, and amazing Heath...RIP bro.

  • I would lyk this guy (Daniel Day-Lewis) to take over the role as The Joker in future Batman films wud u agree? if not I wud lyk to hear other suggestions R.I.P Heath Ledger

  • he is the only choice

    he is the same quality as an actor and he kinda looks the same

  • but if its the rumored story of The Trial of The Joker for Batman 4(the next one being about The Riddler) will Daniel Day-Lewis take on the role of The Joker and wud we get 2 c The Joker with and without the make up? I think we shud get a petition or summat goin so that we cn get Daniel Day-Lewis to b the next Joker

  • day-Lewis is a better actor

  • Watching this video Daniel Day-Lewis has got The Joker hair so really if he keeps it lyk that he cud start filming scenes as The Joker 2moro if they filming Batman 3 at the present time

  • Mr. Rhys from the dark night is clearly the riddler (mysteries - say it out loud). I hope its another actor tho...

  • I tink thats a gud idea wat wit wat appened in Dark Knight bt it will probably be Edward Nigma bt I could be wrong n it could b Coleman Rhys

  • They're not the same quality. Day-Lewis is on a whole other level. Not a slight against Heath, he was progressing, but not even his Joker matches up with any one of Day-Lewis's performances.

  • totally agree. heath was a wonderful actor. but daniel, he has his own level.

    is like

    -bad

    -good

    -great

    -excelent

    -perfect

    -Daniel Day-Lewis.

  • Not gonna happen. Nolan wont replace Heath, and Daniel wouldnt do it anyway.

  • what are you talking about?! ok, first off: they will replace Heath, the joker was raw evil and Batman's main villian, they cant lose him, thats why all the other batmans sucked after jack's joker died. they wont have the Joker in the next movie but they will in the 4th. Mr. Rhys will not be riddler because his name in the actual series (which nolan has been doing a great job with) is Edward Nigma.

    i would love to play the Joker....

  • I agree that they will replace Heath because one of the reasons Chris Nolan made The Dark Knight was to see wat he could do with The Joker and the story of his trial etc(which was where Harvey Dent became Two-Face if I'm nt mistaken) and it wud be a nice twist if it was Coleman Rhys which could be blamed on his skirmish with Lucius Fox and Joker wanting Coleman Rhys dead that sets him off as The Joker says "insanity is lyk gravity:all you need is a lil push"

  • @SplitChesthair the 3rd darkknight is the last

  • lewis is right

  • GO DANIEL DAY LEWIS!!!!!!!

  • Isnt the media just like a pack of ravenous dogs going about seeking whom they may devour.There sick. I wonder if that blood money they make is going to find them in a place of peace when it all has been said and done? What did Jesus think about hypocrites?

  • Yupp.I have a family member who works with celebs & they are lower than dirt.They are paid to do nothing but dig & dig & dig,until they find something they feel Is provocative enough to share with the world.

    & whats worse Is even If they find nothing worth exposing,they will still Create something,Anything!

  • i agree heath ledger was a great human being and people seriously leave him and his family alone love you heath r.i.p

  • what the fuck does people have against Ledger? i mean really ?!

    he was like the perfect actor and he sure as hell IS the best joker, i mean everybody says so

  • @fulledulle:

    Actually, those who have been Joker fans for many years, watched every actor who played that part, every movie, every cartoon, and read the comics, consider Mark Hamill as the best Joker ever.

    (Older fans would even go for Cesar Romero though...)

    However, I think Heath Ledger did a great job and his Joker was perfect for the world created by Nolan.

    I think that people saying bad things about him have simply a lot of free time :P

  • ive seen them all and i dont think anyone has ever taken to the mind-frame joker has, the madness of his thoughts, others only skimmed the jokers mind, heath somehow managed to seriously go crazy for this part... the battle between batman and joker is one of the greatest, batman's superpower is his ability to intsill fear in his enemies, jokers superpower is that he has no fear, thats y hes says " i guess thats what u get when and unstoppable force meets and unmovable object..." batman vs joker

  • I can't help but think the only reason people are saying "No one will ever replace Heath as the Joker" are only saying so out of sympathy for him, which I think is actaully rather insulting.

    Please don't think me rude, its just that I get that kind of feeling from certain people.

  • I'm not taking it as rude; however, I don't think you should go around to several the Heath Ledger videos, and say this. I have seen this same exact comment on several videos, and there are so many people looking at the videos that this is not necessary.

    That, and there truely are some batman fans who happen to like his portral of the character best; therefore you shouldn't just generalize like that.

  • best thing about the dark knight?

    Heath Ledger!

  • I wouldn call them airheads, your opinion of an airhead relates to anyones whose different of your own. Because u hav an outlook that wen someone dies people think more of them, well of course thats true. But in my opinion a light is shone when a light comes shining through, people realise a person because their takin in2 a group of people who have been here, did great things but now are sadly gone. Its your problem you dnt realise a great actor while he was here, because of your own perception

  • so you dont think hes a great actor, thats fine we all have opinions. but youre in no place to call the people who DO think hes a great actor AIRHEADS. i didnt know that being a fan of heath ledger would make us stupid.

  • your an expert on acting and films and knowing what is a great performance, are you?

  • your an asshole, you fucking bitch, he was and still is a phenominal actor, and a wonderful person, and wonderful parent to Matilda.

  • I disagree. I think he made every film I saw him in. 10 Things I hate About You would have been a tawdry boring teen drag were it not for him. He surpassed a role previously filled by Jack Nicholson which is no mean feat. Also in the film "Candy" which was one of my favourite ever books he carries the lead role and stops an average film from being bad. However I respect your opinion and to give someone a thumbs down for respectfully saying what he/she believes is idiotic.

  • People were raving about him long before his death. In the Patriot, Monster's Ball, Brokeback, long before there was any tragedy.

    What are you basing his abilities on besides your personal opinion? Do you have an expertise in the area of acting?

  • Heath was a good actor. In time, Im sure he would have proved to be great. Although Daniel Day Lewis is head and shoulders above every actor. He is the best of the best.

  • @Xenabuffyfan no one raved about him when he was alive he was really unknown too

  • how can you say that. people dont just suddenly start to say aww heath we love you because he is dead. you jst notice them more because he has died. also you cnt say that suddenly people are saying aww he was a phenominal actor now that he is dead. he was alive when he picked up awards for brokeback mountain and he was alive when he filmed the dark knight, so you cnt say tht he has jst suddenly been noticed as an amazing actor jst because he is dead. for WANNAbGAMER. u mst nt haveseen his films.

  • @lbarton08 no one called him amazing when he was alive

  • i hate evryone who is now just saying hes a phenomenal actor. i hate that the most someone dies and then everyone starts to say omg rip i love u i loved u and ur were great and all but never new them or watched all their movies

  • I'm agree with you. I think is a particular tecnic to say something...

  • he WAS a great actor. dead or alive he was STILL a great actor. he was nominated for an academy award for brokeback mountain WHEN HE WAS ALIVE. how would you explain that? he was great then, hes still great now. of course he gets more attention now because he's gone, people tend to appreciate things more once its gone.. anyone should know that. but that doesnt take away from the fact that he was a great actor in the first place. so have some respect for the dead and leave it alone.

  • honestly honestly

    people should leave

    Michelle Williams and Matilda and Heath's whole family alone

    his death has impacted the world, he was a great actor and rip to him. but it was his time to go so we cannot fight fate.

    im still in shock actually......

  • fullofshit...ironic name for someone with such confidence in their comments that sound like a 5th grader who's just heard curse words for the first time.

    Heath Ledger was a phenomenal actor.

    and that's the end.

  • Dan Day Lewis is King!

  • he was very right. we, as the public, need to butt out of celebrities private lives. that's why they're called "private lives"

  • was he good friends with heath then?

  • he was one of his best friends.

  • @juhesihcaaa um he nvr evem met heath

  • I definately saw an interview of Daniel Day-Lewis immediately after he made the statement about leaving Heath's family alone, etc and he clearly stated HE HAD NEVER MET HIM but had watched his films and had hoped to meet him in the future because Daniel highly regarded Heath's acting skills. So the answer is NO, he had never met, nor talked to him.

  • or maybe he was in love with him...just kidding...man crush

  • FUK U BITCH! i saw ur stupid comment before, no seriously, FUK U... RESPECT THE DEAD...
