W HAT LED HIM TO USING PRESCRIPTIONS. His last interview before the movie “The Dark Knight” (2008), was by the FHM magazine (by Kevin Power July 18, 2008. Talked about him being on the set and how he gets into character. Ledger loved being the joker, but there was stress that follow the making of this film.
12
S TRESS IS A K ILLER Heath Ledger said in the interview is that he didn’t get any sleep during this film and started to have the feeling of being really the Joker. That’s probably why he took these pills. The sleeping agent is for him to get sleep. Pain killers to relieve him self with work. And anti- anxiety pills to help him with his anxiety of being joker.

H EATH L EDGER After his death, Ledger was awarded for more than 30 posthumous awards, Oscar, SAG, BAFTA, and Golden Globe Awards. Started as a young Australian, that soon became a Hollywood star, with his own compelling hard work on his journey to be on top.
