Bill loves kids. He said that playing the role of Pennywise was an absolutely heartbreaking experience and even asked if each kid was okay after every tale because he was so worried about him, even though he knew it wasn’t real. Heath Ledger was taking several different pain killer, sleeping pills, and then something else for something he had. The pain killers were uppers and the sleeping pills were downers. The other pills he was taking were uppers which caused his fanatic state and occasional breakouts that resulting in the uppers crashing his system and shutting him down. The drugs were OxyCotin and Hydrocodone which were in the pain relievers. He was in a hotel room when room service found him dead on the floor. Ledger passed out in around an hour ( give it take ) after he had just finished calling his sister who warned him to be careful. The last words he ever said were to his sister. “ Katie, Katie, I’m fine. I know what I’m doing. “
Even a video where the kid who plays think he’s called Georgie? He started crying when he saw the fully penny wise outfit. And the guy who played the main bully in the first movie was also VERY nice on set always making sure the younger actors were fine
@@Danie1_l ironic how always like the most evil characters are played the nicest people. Same thing happened in game of thrones because one of the villains pirnce (and also king joffrey later) was told to be the nicest person behind the scenes while not acting
But the most heartwarming thing about the IT actor is that he asked if the kids were okay after each scene How do I already have more likes than ever on a comment😂
And the worst part is they both did a terrific job. Heath Ledger is one of the best Joker actors and it’s a shame what happened. He will not be forgotten
I feel so bad for Heath Ledger I had no idea he did that to himself to get into the mind of the Joker. I always thought he was just that good of an actor (which he is). But he should not have had to go through that. Thank you Heath Ledger for giving us so much laughter and an unforgettable character.🃏
He didn't. The rumor that his death was because of the Dark Knight has already been debunked. He had sleeping issues before the movie, and was working on a completely different project when he died.
Heath literally said he was fine and loved playing the role. He had insomnia and overdosed on a mixture of different insomnia pills. Because he had an infant daughter
No, the joker role didn’t kill him. His sister said it was a bunch of other things going on in his life. And that he loved the joker role and he was so happy to be playing it.
This is a cautionary tale of what happens with the human mind.tge brain is powerful organic computers .while we appreciate actors for the lengths they go to bring a character to life, one must be cautious of long lasting effects of forcing a psyche over one's own
This is why I am scared of clowns And Pennywise would also come in my dreams after watching the movie I am still terrified till this day and that was also the reason why I am scared of clowns
Heath Ledger didn’t die from the Joker. Heath had experienced Insomnia since he was a young teenager, and pain killer medication for a cut he got during filming and for a massive headache from lack of sleep, paired with his standard Insomnia-treating pills killer him. Again, the Joker had no part in it. Even his parents and siblings and friends could see that the Joker had no effect on Heath.
Not nearly as disturbing as these, but I’ll add Ben Platt playing Evan Hansen in the musical Dear Evan Hansen. The titular character suffers from severe anxiety, so the actor was constantly having to portray that in his speech and movements. He developed Evan’s fidgeting and anxious habits over the four years of playing the role on Broadway. He had to have extensive therapy afterward in order to separate himself from the Evan’s mentality and tics. He lost around 30 pounds to more convincingly play the anxious teen role. To elaborate on him doing this on Broadway for YEARS and how much more that is than it sounds, I’m gonna draw from my own experiences a bit. I did high school theatre, and show week was the most draining, emotional, and stressful time of the semester. I didn’t realize beforehand just how mentally and physically exhausting it is just to act on stage. Every second your focus is on embodying that character- people are watching, every reaction and movement is rehearsed, you have to be aware of where you are now, where you will be next, and what cue to listen to for your next movement. Even in ensemble or minor roles- it takes a lot out of you. Theater acting is also dramatically different from movie acting. Rather than subtle/casual realistic actions, you have to be dramatic and large with your motions to convey what you want to the back of the audience. Now, imagine playing an emotional wreck of a character who is on the verge of a mental breakdown for a good bit of the 2.5 hour show. 8 times a week. For 4 years straight. That’s wild.
1) In an interview w/Jack Nicholson, he said playing the Joker in the original Batman movie was the most exhausting and terrifying role he ever played. 2) THANKS A LOT, BRO! I NOW know H.L. DID NOT willingly kill himself as was thrown out there by the media...
In Heaths own words he said playing the joker was the most fun he ever had. His family said he locked himself away with every character he did. The journal this was normal for him. His friends and family said he had trouble sleeping since childhood. He had pneumonia and was filming a new movie around the time of his death. It was a mixture of sleeping pills, cold medicine, and painkillers.
Pennywise scared me when I was 9 ever since I’ve been having nightmares of him and everywhere I look it’s like he’s there so I even have hard times going to sleep cuz of it so I can definitely relate to bill.
There was someone on the set of the dark knight who said that heath ledgers death wasn’t because of the joker or filming of the dark knight he stated that heath had a blast and was having a lot of fun on set
Acting is insane. Highly recommend. I played Jekyll and Hyde at my local community theater and I needed a solid 2 weeks to adjust back to normal me. The constant mood swings and body twitches were hard to stop at first. And that was in such a short time on such a smaller scale. I feel for Heath. The commitment to the role for as long as he went is why we need Protections for Actors. Mental Health professionals on hand at all times for routine check ups. Method Acting is controversial for a reason.
"IT" had given me a fear I had, had up until last year. I was around 10 when the movie had first came out and just seeing the trailer had me spooked to where I couldn't sleep without being under the covers.
I was sick for a few weeks and got an hour of sleep every day and if lucky three hours of sleep at night. By time the 8th day started and still not sleeping, anxiety spiking extremely high and next to no sleep for a week going on two... Every breath was like inhaling glass shards and you feel like you are taking in almost no air. Pain medicine was my friend until I just went to the ER.
Bro I remember watching IT and I had nightmares of pennywise FOR YEARS! When I went to sleep I knew he would come. I had the most horrific and intense night terrors that my family literally thought I was possessed and would pray 💀😭 pennywise haunted my dreams for years. So glad that I can watch IT now without him visiting me in my dreams bc it’s a good movie.
Evan Peters playing Dahmer. The cast admitted that he's got to heal quite a bit from playing the character and that it was hard on him. Which I don't blame him.
so the clown was having nightmares
I guess so
He can just dress up as the pennywise and scare his clown
Clownpierce (minecraft player) be like:
“I’m not the one with nightmares, Skylar. I am the nightmare”
Of himself, yes
Heath really didn't have to torture himself just for a movie role
Rest In Peace, king.
So true
We got a masterpiece but the cost was too high
He didnt actually die from the role it was from something different they just said it was that because it gives more clicks to news articles
He died from a drug overdose
@@nomore8029out of a bad drug mixture... a dumb accident
Note to self, never play a clown

Yeah same
Im already a clown :(

@mimik1028 unless it's sweet tooth from twisted metal
He took too many pills and medicine that's why he died

Lol that’s adorable

Fun Fact: the whole separate eye moving done by Bill Sarsgaard in IT wasn't CGI, Bill can move both of his independently.
wtf
And the smile was from his cousin

Bro og joker was a legend RIP to the one who will be in our hearts for what he did for us to see a good movie
The jokers real.
he wasnt the og joker but yeah
Amen
R.I.P. Heath Ledger. That is true dedication.
I’m not sure if I wanna be an actor anymore
Just try not to get the role of a murderours heartless psychopath clown and your good

Heath had such a sad death :( rest in peace you legend
OK BUT I GENUINELY DID NOT KNOW HEATH LEDGER DIED 😭
Same dude 😭-
He didn’t even get to experience the fame 😔
Heath ledger also said that he really enjoyed playing the role of the joker 😂
Pennywise is terribly scary
Not really
@@Frogs_can_fly1234 in my point of viue
@@sergioagopian1798yeah but I’m still scared as hell of it but i can watch it and not get that scared
Did you know the kids didn't know what Penny wise looked like?
He was pennywise tho
Heath Ledger just breaks my heart, he would’ve been such a leading actor in the film industry 😢
I’m seeing a pattern here
In Home Alone, Joe Pesci actually bit Macaulay Culkin’s finger leading to a permanent injury.
Well it was a scar
Joe Fish
Let this be a lesson; if you play a killer clown, unless if you're OC the Clown, don't expect a full mental recovery.
Where is your psychology degree from? 🤡
Rip heath ledger made a masterpiece
So the lesson here is: Don’t play the role of a clown in movies
"He tried to get into the psychopaths head" that is commitment to the role there respect and rest in peace
Honestly Heath Ledger should have a holiday or have an award named after him for real
No wonder asian parents is scared of acting school💀
May Heath Ledger Rest in Peace, truly one of the best acting performances ever!🕊️♥️
Heath ledger took his own life he didn’t OD
Heath ledger had the most dedication for his role than any actor.
Moral of the story:
Dont play a clown in a movie
Penny wise is scary
If you think he’s scary in the day watch it in the night
@@Itss_Everlyy whatre you a fetus ?
Heath over dosed on narcotics, not accidentally taking too many sleeping pills.
Narcotics are essentially stronger sleeping pills
Those are the exact same thing
Every night he came and visited had me balling😂
One of the best Jocker along with Nicholson
The fact someone can misspell Joker is beyond me
Yes he was one of the best JOCKERS no doubt
Nicholson's joker is the most overrated role ever ... Heath is clear of him
This is why I am scared of clowns
And Pennywise would also come in my dreams after watching the movie I am still terrified till this day and that was also the reason why I am scared of clowns
Mr. Ledger did not deserve that
He was a true legend.
Conclusion:
Don’t play a clown
Rest In Peace Sir Heath Ledger.
aww poor heath he didnt deserve that 😢
So Bill Skarsgard who played a clown started having nightmares about the clown?
Ironic
The messege is never apply the role as a clown
wow bro i never knew that’s how he died i respect that role so much more now Rip to him man:((((
That's because the timer is false, and the Dark Knight had nothing to do with his death.
Alma son sagrados
He was haunted by himself...
Bill would make a fantastic Joker
Bill scarsgaurd was so scary as pennywise he gave himself nightmares 😂
Rest in peace king I feel so bad
Moral of the story, don't play clowns
Penniwise gave me night mares so I gave him a taste of his own medicine
~old penniwise
R.I.P, Heath, we love you
Dang and Heath was one of my favorite actors ever
Still feel sad for the Heath ledger. What an amazing actor...
I will never understand how heath leadger was ok playing brokeback mountain but playing the joker killed him
Even the pennywise smile stayed on his face
I already knew the joker was going to be up here
Moral of the story
Never play an evil clown
rip heath ledger, you were the best joker.
Heath Ledger didn’t die from the Joker.

Crazy to think how both of them could’ve played each other’s role to perfection had they got the opportunity too
Pennywise is terrified of himself which proves how demonic the killer clown actually was

And they both made the best movies
Finding Redheaded twins in the right age group must have been a hard casting job.
An actor had to pretend that he was talking to cartoons because they were animated, after some time he began hallucinating that they were real
so haunting 💀
Plot twist: the movie IT was pennywise’s nightmare the whole time
1) In an interview w/Jack Nicholson, he said playing the Joker in the original Batman movie was the most exhausting and terrifying role he ever played.
2) THANKS A LOT, BRO! I NOW know H.L. DID NOT willingly kill himself as was thrown out there by the media...
He also didn't die because of the Dark Knight either, that rumer has also been disproven.
So painkillers and sleeping pills leads to a painless sleep, huh?
Alright boys, i know what i'm gonna do tomorrow.
Joakin is an amazing Joker but Ledger's dedication makes him superior
Method acting is hard , includes sacrifice but most of the time it’s worth it if you love your job
R.I.P Heath Ledger 🙏🙏🙏🍀
Its kinda funny that Bill seemed more traumatised than the actual kid actors who were supposed to be acting scared.
1 short before bed
The short:
Rip heath ledger the best joker and a good man
if i was bill in one of his nightmares i’d just do the smile and scare pennywise away
Bill even without the makeup looks like Pennywise
May Heath Ledger rest in peace, Amen
