Jack Nicholson has hinted he warned tragic Heath Ledger against taking on the role of The Joker in the new Batman film. Ledger, 28 - who was declared dead at 3:30pm at his Manhattan apartment on Tuesday - publicly declared himself exhausted and sleep deprived in November following the grueling shoot for The Dark Knight. He also revealed in an interview with the New York Times he'd resorted to taking sleeping pills - an overdose of which is believed to be the cause of his death - in a desperate bid to catch up on rest. And Nicholson, who famously portrayed the menacing Joker in Tim Burton's 1989 movie Batman, implied to the waiting crowd outside plush London restaurant The Wolesley on Tuesday night he spoke to Ledger about his role in The Dark Knight - and warned him about the pitfalls of taking on such a demanding challenge. When asked by the London crowds for his reaction to Ledger's untimely demise, a defeated Nicholson simply replied, "I told him so." Batman Begins prequel The Dark Knight is due to be released in July.

I think he means lack of sleep, its a extremely demanding role. it will tire the mind and its disturbing role will mess up the mind which it did,
ledger locked himself in a room for a month reading the joker/batman joker comics and practiced voice acting and laugh and movements. its a very demanding role. like he said he knows cuz he was once the joker...

No one can stop me--Lennox is a conqueror? No, I'm Alexander. He's no Alexander. I'm the best ever--there's never been anybody as ruthless. I'm Sonny Liston, I'm Jack Dempsey; I'm from their cloth. There's no one like me. There's no one that can match me. My style is impetuous; my defense is impregnable; and I'm just ferocious, I want your heart.

Soldiers, construction workers, single parents, trauma surgeon, commercial fishermen, those are hard jobs. Getting paid $15,000,000 to travel around the world, put on makeup, and pretend to be someone else isn't. The craft may be difficult to master, but Hollywood actors lead a better life than 99.99999% of people.

Nope, not a jerk, I could give two ****s about an actor dying. Hell even if my favorite actor or actress died, I'd be like "Well that sucks, oh well". I think people are too obsessed by these idiotic things. Anyways never cared for Jack Nicholson, he's always been an ******* from the get go, he's a good actor but his ego is way overinflated. I applaud the good actors who actually bring out the characters. If the trailer is any indication of how well he did with the Joker character then bravo for doing such a good job, do I care that he died? Not really.
