    'Acting truly is harnessing the power of belief' -whoah! That's a pretty deep statement to be said in an interview! What a guy! :)

  • @TVC15ohoh

    Hearing of an actor's death is never a happy moment, but when I heard that Heath Ledger had died, I quite literally could not believe it. I was gobsmacked. It took me about an hour to process it and accept that he was really, truly gone. His performance in Brokeback Mountain was SO good, so authentic, so heartfelt and real, it will reside within me forever.

    • @johnarundell7951

      Daniel Day Lewis has described the performance as 'perfect'. High praise indeed :) R.I.P. Heath.

    A tragically beautiful, soothing interview with one of the best actors of all time. Nothing short of brilliance from Blank on Blank.

  • @JohnSant87
    @JohnSant87 Před 10 lety +52

    Thank you so much for making this wonderful animation to accompany this beautiful, intimate, and very rare interview with Heath, circa Brokeback Mountain. Always so precious to hear this man talk and see what he had to say. A fascinating personality, a great, great actor and artist, and an even greater human being.
    Heath talks so lovely of his colleagues, like the legendary Ang Lee, and his co-star and future wife Michelle Williams, he shows respect, admiration and kindess for them. Which I think he had and showed to all of his colleagues and collaborators. He was a gold man. Miss you so, so much dear Heathy... Deeply missed from all of us. You were the Ultimate actor of your generation for me. We could only hope that you would have become, a legend for sure.

    I always love when new Heath interviews pop up every once in a while, such sweet little surprises. This was such a genuine and sweet interview, he was always so well spoken and honest. Thank you for sharing.

  • @MarlaLukofsky7
    @MarlaLukofsky7 Před 10 lety +22

    This is an amazing interview. I love the animation, the words showing up, and I love hearing Heath's voice again and his natural way about him. What a terrible loss. He sounded so happy with his life, yet we know he was tortured by something. A loss.

    • @derfanddarf1
      @derfanddarf1 Před 7 lety +5

      That's actually not true, he was a very, very happy individual right up to the end. He just had some issues with anxiety and sleep, and accidentally overdosed.

      @123Huskys Před 6 lety +13

      If anything it was home effecting him, he was having a hard time sleeping because he wasn’t spending enough time with his daughter. Leading to him gettin prescribed multiple meds to help with sleeping and a sickness he got on Doctor P. He loved his work, but family meant a lot to him.

    @c.galindo9639 Před rokem

    It really says a lot about his character in what he values most. He had something simple yet cherished it more than anything and loved it.
    A really down to Earth man, Heath Ledger was

  • @user-dy1vm8jt5d
    @user-dy1vm8jt5d Před 3 lety

    I remember reading about his death on the news paper when I was only ten, I did not know him, but for some reason that moment and feeling are very vivid and clear on my mind. rip

  • @derfanddarf1
    @derfanddarf1 Před 7 lety +13

    I highly recommend any of you who are really interested in Heath Ledger watch the recent documentary of his career and death, "I Am Heath Ledger". It's not a great documentary, but it's informative and heartfelt enough.
