Heath Ledger's Joker Inspiration

[K-Dot.]

This is where Heath Ledger got the inspiration for the Joker character in the Dark Knight. Kind of a weird guy.. Probably on many marijuanas at the time. Skip to about 1:30 because that's when the actual interview starts.

damn thats crazy how much Ledger sounded like him in the movie, just more twisted and creepy.

 

[Stose]

He probably did his own thing with the joker and it just happened to sound like this

 

[elemeno89]

[Big_Spence]

[CliffyByro]

probably. thats a great video, but it is creepy how similar they sound

 

[Barefootin_Fiend]
