    I know but I mean it's weird to watch a film just after an actor dies.
    For me it is anyway.
    I know what you mean.
    I always feel that way watching Laurel and Hardy films.

    Very sad at the news, Ledger was a talented actor and he leaves behind a little daughter.

    He was outstanding in Brokeback Mountain, I believe he should really have won the Oscar for it in 2006.

    The saddest time watching a dead man on film was Q from the World is Not Enough :( He had such a nice retirement exit scene and everything....

    sucks to be him




    well, it sucked to be him...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,035 ✭✭✭GhostInTheRuins


    Never heard of him before

    Aye its shocking news alright.

    Might be deemed cold saying this but IF it was a drug overdose, I personally find it hard symphatising. I have seen what the selfesness of drugs does to families and I just cant find my myself sorry for someone who chooses to use drugs. sorry if it offends anyone just my feelings on that.

    IF it was suicide as mentioned in another forum then it is a sad situation. Its also a selfess thing to do but its not a choice to become depressed.

    My thoughts are with his immediate family.

    RIP. seems to be a period of many high profile young deaths.

    1 thing i never get is why people come in with "never heard of him", if you havent heard of him, cool, no point posting in the thread is there?

    "I wish I knew how to quit you"
    is what he said to the needle.

    Why would you?


    My sentiments exactly.

    Although I suppose if the thread title read Britney Spears then maybe otherwise.

    Had a huge future ahead of him, sad. :/ Rest in peace.


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 30,661 Mod ✭✭✭✭Faith


    I honestly didn't believe it when I saw this thread. I still can't believe it. He was so young and talented! I really really liked and respected him as an actor.

    Thats the thing: You'd expect this frpm Britney Spears or something - what happened to Heath Ledger?

    This is a bewilderment. He seemed so well off.

    Is he dead too?

    I don't think any actor I've actually thought was hot has ever died before.
    I really loved "10 things I hate about you" when I was younger. Still quite like it. And I loved "Brokeback Mountain". Heath Ledger was a great actor.

    I think it's just the fact that I'm used to old actors/singers etc. dying but this just feels so weird and wrong. It really sucks.

    This report is.... interesting, I guess. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22788914/
    NEW YORK - Heath Ledger was found dead Tuesday in a Manhattan apartment in a possible drug-related death, police said. He was 28.

    According to the New York Times, Ledger was found naked and unconscious with pills strewn all around him in an apartment owned by actress Mary-Kate Olsen.

    NYPD spokesman Paul Browne said Ledger had an appointment for a massage at the apartment. The housekeeper, who went to let Ledger know the masseuse was there, found him unconscious at approximately 3:30 p.m. ET, according to the New York Times. After receiving no response from the actor after shaking him, they called authorities.

    Mary Kate Olsen? Random.

    It is crap. Considering all that's been reportedly found are pills. And even that's not been confirmed.

    This actor died aswell about a week ago and wasnt mentioned anywhere really

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brad_Renfro

    He was in Apt Pupil and The Client


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 86,683 ✭✭✭✭Overheal


    Reading his wiki page - not much there to shed light on what might have done it. Certainly there have been celebs with more problems.

    I remember him in 10 things alright. But I was more interested in his co-actress... what a beauty.

    Suicide though; this guy? Hard to believe.

    tbh, I have never heard of him or the things he starred in.
