This is probably one of the very extremely rare occasions in which Heath Ledger ever really showed vulnerability in front of a camera. He looks almost ready to cry. He looks really like an exhausted man who is sorely in need of a long rest. ...But, hey, 28 years is way too early to fall asleep forever. We miss you.
What is upsetting is he was about to cry at 30 seconds because at the time him and Michelle broke off their engagement and she took their kid and he hadn’t seen his daughter in months, his daughter wasn’t even with him on Christmas because of Michelle and then Jan of 2008 he passes away.
It's so hard to be able to still watch him talk, and see his movies and see his interviews. It's like he's still here and then you remember that he isn't. It's so heartbreaking.
*Careful with his words, inspired by pursuing to better his talents, not so afraid to fail; just always willing to grow into a better being. It's a real shame that he's gone! I continue to learn so much from Heath, I wish he were still around. That world is just never the same!* 🎬🎥🎞
I happened to be standing next to Heath at the bar at the Met Hotel in London in Dec 2004. I remember hearing him telling a friend that he was having terrible trouble sleeping and had been awake for nearly 3 days. He took drugs, sure, but its now known that he was battling primary insomnia for much of his later life. insomnia results in prefrontal glucose depletion reducing impulse control, leading to more drug abuse and hence in some cases more insomnia in a self perpetuating vicious spiral.
He had troubles sleeping and insomnia. That's that. He would sleep for on average 2 h per night and not more because, as he said, his mind was racing in the very last months of his life. He died because of the wrong combination of sleep medicines and antibiotics.
He was fidgety because he was tired as all hell and had just broken up with Michelle, and hated the whole media circus. I admire him for trudging on and still going ahead with the interviews. As a chronic insomnia sufferer myself I totally know how he felt which makes me admire him even more for doing such wonderful work and playing the whole publicity machine. RIP Heath.
"failure teaches you how to succeed i guess".....what a line that is from Heath, he was one of the best actors ever to have lived, the cinema/movie world will change greatly come July 25th........R.I.P Heath The Legend Ledger.......
It was early in the morning and they both were tired so reporter wanted to make just a little morning chat and not the cold interview. No doubt he was nervous but as reporter said she was suprised to talk to such a kind person.
Thank you so much for uploading this! Great job by the interviewer.Heath absorbs the essence of the interviewer in my mind and out comes a reflection of how authentic he feels that person is.It shows in every interview I have watched of him. Heath comfort level is transparent - when he senses the interviewer's authenticity, honesty and thoughtfulness - he loses some of his discomfort and nervousness that crops up with an interviewer that doesn't provide that grounding or platform to express.
Heath was chronically overworked, exhausted, he had also private problems and after all he was taking medicines to fight with insomnia. I believe The Joker was just one role too many for him. Thanks all for your comments.
Hello, there. If we cannot stop crying while watching this thing, I cannot imagine what Ms. Williams and Jake Gyllenhaal might feel after watching it... Just devastating.
Guys, I love him and miss him too, but would heath really want us mourning over him? I think he may want us to be happy. Remember he died doing something he wanted to do. Acting. Yes I REALLY miss him, but heath wouldn't want this. So just smile and know that he would be proud of you. RIP Heath Ledger
crybaby it's been too long to mourn over him. But my mother mourned princess Dianna for over a decade. that being said, it can't be healthy. we should merely celebrate his life and acknowledge his talent
I wish this interviewed had been played more - I wish he were here to see the alcolades over his performance in Dark Knight. I wish he was still HERE. He will always be missed. (the song playing: Like A Rolling Stone)
Dylan's music is the background of the TV interview not a part of the video per se. As they were talking about the biographic musical film "I'm not there" Dylan's songs fit into this video like the silk gloves, especially "Knocking on the Heaven's door". So nothing is ruined here! cheers
I remember coming across this video at the back end of 2008, it was one that inspired me along many other Heath fanmade videos and tributes,memories, to make my channel a Heath Ledger Tribute, now I recall there was much more to this interview about 4-5mins that is not there, of course looking through my collection it has been taken off my channel, not sure if it was because of copywrite or YT, I don't know? Heath got Michelle the small part in this movie 'I'm not there; where she is Coco.....
They did chat about last night. Reporter said that he can drink his tea and she will try to stay awake (sort of joke). Heath asked her if she has been out late last night and she answered that little voice was telling her go home, go to bed, so Heath did agree as he got that same voice.
I miss him so much !!! I don`t like this video `cuz he looks so sad... You can see that he`s unhappy now... I don`t think that he really wanted to die.. he loved his daughter so much .. I can`t still believe he`s dead! also when it`s a year ago i still must cry when i see some videos about him ... R.I.P Heath
It's all part of the movie business, it should be a privilege to talk and present yourself and the movie. Nobody will make the interview with the anonymous person. As about this interview, reporter was very kind to Heath and he was not under pressure to talk about anything that he wouldn't like. Look other interviews where journalist were squeezing him like a lemon not even let him talk.
Enough with the "he looks different" or "you can tell he's on drugs" remarks. You have no idea what kind of day he was having, everyone has bad days... All I have to say though is: if you're going to take drugs, research what you're taking and never mix things, never, never, never.
he said on charlie rose (with ang lee re: brokeback mtn) that he has been a fidgeter since childhood and that one challenge in acting the part of Ennis was to be still
Watched that i am heath ledger doc a look behind the eyes of such devestating sadness suggesting he h8d being owned no matter how happy his closest friends and family say he was u could see it his sadness was on display i rec u have 2 sell an unsaleable part of yrself 2 make it that big and he knew it
Hey, do you think you can post some of those pictures? Please? You seemed to be pretty confident with him, maybe because he related to you as a person not just an interviewer; it would have been his 34th birthday today.... Can you say something else about him, if you will, thanks.
yeah same but it sucks how he says he had struggle with love etc comparing himself to bob dylan's music, shocked me.i wouldnt hav made him struggle =P he's surely missed but not forgotten
Whatever you say pal ;) I did translate what has been said on TV - the journalist just repeated the news all the media announced on the film festival the day before this interview. They lied, she lied, I lied :) no hard feelings, it just doesn't matter anymore, who left whom and why.
I don't know. If you look at the comments, there's a lot of people talking about "the crow" which relates to his lack of sleep or something. I'm sorry. I don't know what their talking about.
"I failed many times *nervous laugh* but I guess failure teaches you how to succeed, I guess..."
He's a beautiful person, inside and out
Beautiful, tender & talented Heath: the world misses you!
What a loss 💔
I think he would have been satisfied with what he did with the Joker if only he'd seen the movie.
You beautiful man, we miss you...
Such a beautiful soul..

Commented 13 years ago. Here's your first reply haha
i think he showed vulnerability all the time, that that's why so many love him
0:27 I bet he was thinking of his daughter and Michelle at that point
Another year have passed but you never grow old in our hearts. .miss you my heath ❤

this guy was a genius .. you can see.

I think this is the most comfortable I've ever seen him in an interview -
He had troubles sleeping and insomnia. That's that. He would sleep for on average 2 h per night and not more because, as he said, his mind was racing in the very last months of his life. He died because of the wrong combination of sleep medicines and antibiotics.
omg!! I've been so in love with him since his early movies. I'm still so sad... I think of him every single day. He was amazing RIP
I can't believe this is the Joker...
Какой же он все таки клевый душевный парень был. За ним чувствуется искренность многим актерам этого не хватает. Хотя многие актеры и не актеры вовсе.
He was fidgety because he was tired as all hell and had just broken up with Michelle, and hated the whole media circus. I admire him for trudging on and still going ahead with the interviews. As a chronic insomnia sufferer myself I totally know how he felt which makes me admire him even more for doing such wonderful work and playing the whole publicity machine. RIP Heath.

I absolutely adored HL. What a talent. What a loss 💔
Rest in Paradise Heath! ! ! we Love YOU!
Hometown Croatia!
he was a really sexy man!
i'm in love with a person who's dead :(
rip heath!
Sad day when he died...
Just entering his prime of his acting career.
He’s was such a caring soul 😢❤ 1:08
It was early in the morning and they both were tired so reporter wanted to make just a little morning chat and not the cold interview. No doubt he was nervous but as reporter said she was suprised to talk to such a kind person.

I just miss him so much 💔😢. I can't let him go. R.I.P🥀💔😭
Makes me wanna hug him..." i`ve failed many times" then he sorta panics to stop himself from crying. :((((((((((
He enjoyed playing that crazy clown. He said it was his favorite character to play.
this almost got me Crying, R.I.P HEATH LEDGER
We miss you heath 🥺❤️❤️
lol at his outfit, I feel like its Joker sitting here for his first interview in his stripe socks....he was so adorable, kind heart, We Miss You Love!
How cute and humble smile 😢
♥️ Sending you oceans of love my Heath.
@musiicmasterrr yeah, I still half expect to read a new movie announcement saying 'Starring Heath Ledger" It's sad that we will never hear that again.
so sad that hes gone :(
This actor is legend respekt from 🇧🇦🇭🇷
So beautiful with his wonderful smile... =(
We are all going to die. He made amazing contributions to our culture.
true artist that will be missed.
Oh, thankyou very much!
this interview tells me more about him than what he actually says. its so depressing.
I just got a little emotional catch in my throat after reading your comment.
It truly is sad. R.I.P Heath
Dylan's music is the background of the TV interview not a part of the video per se. As they were talking about the biographic musical film "I'm not there" Dylan's songs fit into this video like the silk gloves, especially "Knocking on the Heaven's door". So nothing is ruined here! cheers
Its a movie that starred Brandon Lee. He died under mysterious circumstances surrounding the movie The Crow.
He was amazing man actor with kind heart and soul rip beautiful man ❤️
thanks man
oh, heathy... why did you have to leave so soon... Never Forget
@ZonaZonaZona Thank you Antonia! I'm glad that you passed by and like to see your work this way again ;) Merry Xmas Happy New Year!

I could cry ... i am crying :(
This man :'(
Any human live is precious. Very sad when we lose one. Moral judgement almost often results stupid
he did a great job as the joker, but he definitely did a great job as other characters that people seem to not give a fuck about.
i love himmmmmm sooooooooo much
I miss him so much !!!
I don`t like this video `cuz he looks so sad...
You can see that he`s unhappy now...
I don`t think that he really wanted to die.. he loved his daughter so much ..
I can`t still believe he`s dead!
also when it`s a year ago i still must cry when i see some videos about him ...
R.I.P Heath
thanks

There better be a better interview than this on the DK dvd!!! PLEASE I want to hear him talk in depth about the performance
Enough with the "he looks different" or "you can tell he's on drugs" remarks. You have no idea what kind of day he was having, everyone has bad days...
All I have to say though is: if you're going to take drugs, research what you're taking and never mix things, never, never, never.
So true. It's crazy too, because this was fairly close to his death. I've seen him WAY more fidgety.
Thanks:)))))
He is so witty talking to a Croatian journalist. Heath is very sophisticated.
R.I.P.
RIP Heath ledger
R.I.P. Heath
he said on charlie rose (with ang lee re: brokeback mtn) that he has been a fidgeter since childhood and that one challenge in acting the part of Ennis was to be still
Miss you buddy
Watched that i am heath ledger doc a look behind the eyes of such devestating sadness suggesting he h8d being owned no matter how happy his closest friends and family say he was u could see it his sadness was on display i rec u have 2 sell an unsaleable part of yrself 2 make it that big and he knew it
What's the music in the background????
Heath has a daughter. Her name is Matilda and she is three years old. =)
Hey, do you think you can post some of those pictures? Please? You seemed to be pretty confident with him, maybe because he related to you as a person not just an interviewer; it would have been his 34th birthday today.... Can you say something else about him, if you will, thanks.
"Yeah. I have that same voice." :) Heath!
yeah same but it sucks how he says he had struggle with love etc comparing himself to bob dylan's music, shocked me.i wouldnt hav made him struggle =P he's surely missed but not forgotten
what a shame. he just made a huge name for himself and died before he could go on to make more legendary roles
I really don't know. You should ask people who posted such comments ;) cheers
💓💓💓💓
Whatever you say pal ;) I did translate what has been said on TV - the journalist just repeated the news all the media announced on the film festival the day before this interview. They lied, she lied, I lied :) no hard feelings, it just doesn't matter anymore, who left whom and why.
oh, God Rest His Soul :'(
what interviews were these? i want to see them
seriously! hehe, i actually gave you a thumbs up for what you said! =)
🔥🔥🔥
Ironically, he really isn't here.
Is it just me or does he seem unhappy in this interview? :(
I don't know. If you look at the comments, there's a lot of people talking about "the crow" which relates to his lack of sleep or something. I'm sorry. I don't know what their talking about.
