Crying fucking shame. It really is.
He was great in Brokeback Mountain and it looks like he might end up being the definitive Joker, who knows what he could have done given time.
It sounds like this wasn’t suicide, which in a strange way makes it even sadder that he’s dead.
I was about to make a smart-arsed comment about celebs and drugs, but then I thought that if I’d had their kind of money to spend on drugs a couple of years ago then I’d be dead too.
Coke and speed and anti-depressants and painkillers are a nasty mix. Lucky I got skint before I got dead.
I’m clean now, of course.
