Heath Ledger was a year older than me and went to school 10 mins down the road from my school. We weren't friends or anything, but I knew him a little - he was a really nice guy, even after he became famous. He and I used to go to the same pub and I played pool with him a couple of times when he was in Perth. Whenever I saw him he was dressed 'incognito' - you wouldn't have realised who he was unless you looked closely. He was a genuine, down-to-earth guy. Very sad death.

I've had chronic insomnia since I was about 20 years old--and I have never been in show business. When I first got married, my wife misunderstood my problem: For her, not getting enough sleep just meant that one was "tired" the next day--but in my case I get headaches that are so severe that I can only compare them to what people say migraines are like. I hope that you've found some relief since you posted your comment about one year ago.

I really do wonder if he had undiagnosed ADHD, because of racing thoughts and insomnia, use of multiple substances, plus it's often comorbid with (or even misdiagnosed as) major depressive disorder.

My heart just completely goes out to him. I've struggled with sleep issues my entire life and wouldn't wish not being able to sleep on my worst enemy. I also am a recovering addict, my primary addiction being opioids and although my sleep issues were not the only reason that I used, they absolutely played a big factor. That is a crazy list of drugs found in his system, esp mixing so many different types of opioids & benzos. Such a sad end for such an enormously talented young actor, but at least we have his work to remember him by.

I would still argue that the role of the joker and the way he went into that affected him. I've seen pages of his note/scrapbook he made during that to prepare and get into the mindset, the content would affect anyone. On top of that the substance use, the breakup and depressive thoughts, well. A shame. He was great and too young. I was also in Australia when he died. Nationwide tragedy.

The line about him not expecting to live to an old age reminds me that John Candy had a similar attitude about his life. A profile of Candy would be very interesting I think, he was such a talented actor that made a lot of people laugh, but apparently he felt very insecure about anyone liking him. There's a great story by Roger Ebert about this in his Planes, Trains & Automobiles review: "One night a few years after "Planes, Trains and Automobiles" was released, I came upon John Candy (1950-1994) sitting all by himself in a hotel bar in New York, smoking and drinking, and we talked for a while. We were going to be on the same TV show the next day. He was depressed. People loved him, but he didn't seem to know that, or it wasn't enough. He was a sweet guy and nobody had a word to say against him, but he was down on himself. All he wanted to do was make people laugh, but sometimes he tried too hard, and he hated himself for doing that in some of his movies."

@CB-ke9rs 4 года назад

He was a a brilliant actor with immense talent. It was almost as if he expressed his alter ego through many of his roles as they were a contradiction to the essence of who he was. Brokeback Mountain was a groundbreaking movie in many ways. The two characters had breathtaking chemistry and the way in which the film explored feelings of love, loneliness, yearning, separation and passion etc. was evocative and achingly beautiful. I was drawn into their complex sexual and romantic relationship that seemed to exist on a soul level. Although the context was a homosexual relationship, it transcended that on many levels. I'm reminded of a quote when I reflect on this movie: "Our souls already know each other, don't they?" he whispered. "It's our bodies that are new." (author?)

I remember how A Knights Tale changed my life in high school when my life was in turmoil and I was thinking long and hard about committing suicide. But I didn't because Heath Ledger influenced me to always fight to change the stars. Just like he did in A Knights Tale. When he left us in 2008, I spent the rest of the whole year secretly crying and secretly depressed he was gone. I never cried so hard over someone I never actually met. A year ago, my best friend from childhood....who took me to see A Knights Tale and was the only person who cared about me when I was contemplating suicide in high school..... was killed by a drunk driver while living in Florida. Now both Heath and my childhood best friend are gone. But I keep fighting to change the stars, for myself and for others, because I know that's what they both would have wanted me to do.🌠🌌✨ Karen, tell Heath Ledger I still really miss him. I miss both of you and love you both very much. I'll come Home to both of you someday. Now go be guardian angels to someone else who needs you, and I will join you in the stars when I come Home. 👼👼👼

I clicked on this so quick when I saw the subject of the video! Brokeback Mountain is one of my favourite films, ever! Heath Ledger was absolutely fantastic. His final scene in the film caused me to ball my eyes out! Without him doing too much, the sentiment of that particular scene was so moving. As a method actor, I don't know how he prepared himself for that role, but whatever he did...it was very effective and convincing. You could tell that he put himself entirely into his work. When he passed away, I was truly saddened because there was a very young, talented life snuffed out at a high point in his career, with so much more life to experience. Thank you for this analysis, Dr. Grande.

Dr. G, another excellent summary of a person's life and untimely death. I remember him from several movies I really liked when growing up. And, I know I heard of his death, but I kind of forgot until now. It was interesting to hear about his personality traits that seemed to oppose one another and I can relate to it. Are you familiar with the Jung Personality types - I am sure you are - just hearing about how you described Heath, it reminds me of an INFJ. I could be totally wrong, but that's what it reminds me of. It sounds like he had a lot of things going for him and really struggled with sleep issues and possible anxiety or whatever the racing thoughts were. I would imagine it would be very difficult to be in such an industry if you are a kind, sensitive soul. Sad to hear of his accidental death but appreciate your analysis, as usual. Thank you!

@daedricdragon5976 4 года назад

I think jusdging by the Big Five model it may seem like he was an INFJ, but if we go by mbti or cognitive functions, he is an INFP. Also, one thing I've come to understand in terms of personality psychology is that P/J in the mbti system does not seem correlate that much with the industriousness (hard-working, or productivity) aspect of the big five but rather with the orderliness facet. In mbti, it is not necessary the case that Ps are lazier or less productive or hard working than Js, although they are much more likely to be so (that's where correlation comes in).

Would be interested in seeing a video on Ethan Couch - the “affluenza teen” who killed four people while driving under the influence. His attorneys argued that he did not know the consequences of his actions due to growing up wealthy with parents who didn’t discipline him. Only time he served was two years for a probation violation years later.

Dr Grande- could you please consider doing a video on the Motivational speaker and ex navy seal/marine David Goggins. I understand that you may be besieged with requests on the psyche of unique or interesting individuals, however I think a slot dedicated to a man with such an indomitable spirit would perhaps gather a rather large audience given the global respect he commands for his super human ability to master mind over matter. Thank you for your wonderful videos! Keep up the great work.

Great analysis, thank You! He was an outstanding actor, it was obvious that he lived all those characters while playing them. I loved him, I always had some weird sense of him being a good and kind soul. Maybe he really wasn't made for Hollywood-style "Per aspera ad astra", although he did climb quickly. The costs were too high.

@juliemay9295 4 года назад

I really loved this. I found myself thinking a lot about Joaquin Phoenix who played the next joker after seeing ther film. I think he and Ledger were friends? But anyway, what struck me was the fact that they both played the role of the joker in a much darker portrayal than in previous films. Method acting seems dangerous to me. If they were friends I wonder if that sadness impacted on the role played by Phoenix. I think his joker was additionally, so very sad. There was also another of their band of friends that died young but I think that was drug abuse. Not sure though they were all friends. Phoenix, his brother? And Ledger? And Johnny Depp? I might be imagining that. Anyway, another excellent study. Thank you

@stephaniekanoun4409 4 года назад

@jjohnsengraciesmom 4 года назад

I would like to point out, he was essentially working ,' midnight shift" when working on the Dark Knight. It's hard adjustment to make, you feel tired but wired when awake, it's hard to sleep during the day,ore noise, and even in a dark room the light comes in, and your body is made to be awake during the day and sleep at night. This may have caused some depression. Or aggravated depression. It's a tough shift. There may be more to it, but it's something to be considered. It took me over a year to adjust to midnight s.

@lorimiller4301 4 года назад

I agree, I got sick after a year of it. I just couldn't keep going like that. We are meant to sleep at night except when hormones get involved. The Doctor said it was normal for Teenagers and the Elderly to stay up late into the night and then sleeping until lunchtime.

@camilobastidas6176 4 года назад

Dr. Grande I think there's something missing on this analysis, any sort of gender identity of sexual orientation issues or fears he may have kept secret and lead him to depression and other issues. With due respect to his name and audience reading this comment, this would have played a big defining factor on his life and also something to further explore on this analysis.

He is unique and compelling and interesting. You could put some clinical counseling aspects regarding how he got back to health.
