heath ledger was a method actor too. as most people know, before his role as the joker he had put countless hours into his character and locked himself away in a hotel so he could practice different versions of the joker (he even kept a diary on it). heath put everything he had in that role, just like he did with all his other roles. HOWEVER heath ledger was an actor, and what people don’t understand is that he knew the difference between acting and real life. a make-up artist on the set of the dark knight even said that “he’d only be in character when filming. Ledger would skateboard around, goof off, smoke cigarettes, and give out bear hugs at the beginning and the end of every workday” like he knew the difference between playing a character and being a normal person who was respectful to his coworkers and fellow actors. he was a talented person and a good man. he didn’t “go crazy” and scare people and he certainly didn't “become the joker”
and then we have jared leto. who is not only spitting in the face of method acting, but is also tarnishing the memory of heath ledgers dedication to his role by reinforcing this whole “joker curse” bullshit. this is a man who is basically milking this for what its worth and using the whole “playing the joker makes you crazy” theory so he has an excuse to be an obnoxious asshole. he is harassing his coworkers by sending them used condoms and bullets and scaring people on purpose. its not funny. its not edgy. its ridiculous and completely disrespectful. he is a grown ass man and should be sued for his behavior and honestly fuck off jared leto
