Why heath ledger depressed

You can't blame anyone else in that situation. That's hard to accept because I loved him so much and was so proud of him. His sister was on the phone to him the night before telling him not to take the prescription medications with the sleeping tablets. He said: 'Katie, Katie, I'm fine. I know what I'm doing.

Of course, he won a posthumous Oscar for his brilliant portrayal of The Joker in the Dark Knight and in the years since, the praise for Ledger with that role and his others, like his performance in Brokeback Mountain , have only grown louder. The legacy of his overdose also lives in on the work his father has done, and sadly, in how it has effected Michelle Williams and their daughter.

Williams has recently seemed to have found peace with his tragic death, even if she may never understand it fully. In an interview with Vanity Fair , she said:.

It couldn't be more wrong. He wasn't depressed about the Joker! The maker of the documentary, Matt Amato, added: "I hope it's an antidote to a lot of the gossip that exists in the world.

I couldn't stop thinking. Within months of it ending, Ledger met the woman who promised to change his life, on the set of the film which transformed his career. Brokeback Mountain, the adaptation of a short story about two cowboys who fall in love and their tortured relationship thereafter, was what Hollywood calls a "brave" film.

But Ledger snatched at the role of the repressed Ennis Del Mar, a man who finds himself caught between what he wants in life and what the world demands of him.

The actor was nominated for an Oscar and had to endure whispers and wisecracks about his own sexuality. This was mildly ironic as while filming Brokeback he met and fell in love with Miss Williams, who played his on-screen wife. She'd twisted her knee - she was pretty much on crutches for the rest of the shoot. And I felt I always had to look after her after that. So swift and powerful was the romance that she was pregnant before the production was completed, and a mother before its release.

Matilda was born in October Ledger and Williams became Hollywood's favourite couple. The actor was unusually unguarded about the relationship. In March he said: "Michelle and I are like two peas in a pod. Every day I just fall deeper and deeper in love with my two girls. In an interview published 15 months ago he confided: "I'm incredibly grateful.

It's about how lucky I am to have this family, right now. There were stories that, depressed by the split, Ledger had developed a heroin addiction and entered rehab in September.

If so, he also kept working very hard. And, as he recently admitted, he used prescription drugs to help counter the insomnia and nerves that still afflicted him. In one of his last interviews, in November, he talked about taking the drug Ambien to deal with his insomnia while working on the latest Batman movie in which he played the Joker.

The drug was among five found by his body. He was due to travel to Vancouver to continue filming. One source suggested he was suffering from pneumonia. Certainly, he spoke of death in at least two interviews. Talking about fatherhood two months ago Ledger said he felt "good about dying" because he would live on through his daughter. It's kind of like an interesting kind of little set-up.
