Heath Battled Drugs
Filed under: Australiastic > Heath LedgerWhile it remains uncertain if Heath Ledger's tragic death on Tuesday was the result of an accidental overdose or a suicide….
It has now become apparent that the actor kept a substance abuse issue hidden very well. Ledger may have also been suffering from depression.
Click here to watch a shocking video of Heath being interviewed just two months ago, and appearing to be clearly under the influence of drugs.

This is is so sad…Poor Heath.
OMG
so so sad
How is he 'appearing to be clearly under the influence of drugs'?
Such a sad day. RIP Heath
:[[[
:( terrible to watch
God Bless You Heath Ledger.
lyn STFU
RIP Heath…
FIRST BITCHES!
WHY THE FUCK DO CELEBRITIES DO DRUGS!? You have everything going for you - you don't work a 9 to 5 in some rat trap; you have people catering to your every need and women throwing themselves at you! Stay off drugs, MKay?!
wow! that's scary.
are you fucking kidding me? you post this and say it is shocking? why? cause he is moving his arms a lot? big fucking deal. he was completely articulate. quit trying to stretch something - besides your asshole, of course - into something it isn't and tell the story like it is.
We love you Heath… We will miss you!!!
what's shocking about it? he seems maybe distracted, maybe like he doesn't want to be there, but "clearly under the influence of drugs"?
No.
very sad;(
The video didn't scream he was on drugs, like say … the behavior of B.Spears, Jeff Conway or even LinLo. I think it's sad. It looked like the Joker would have set him apart as a character actor.
It looks more like he's having some sort of anxiety attack. More so than being spun anyway.
poor guy rip
sad
We love you Heath… We will miss you!!!!!!
That's sad. Poor Heath. But I do hope Amy Crackhouse is next.
Thats fucking shocking. The guy is barely cold and already you're digging up shitty videos from youtube trying to prove some stupid point that no-one cares about at this time.
you should be fucking ashamed.
RIP Heath. x
We love you Heath… We will miss you!!!!!!
Oh my god, i just wish somebody could have reached out to help him. He was such a beautiful talented actor. its so sad he kept his problems under such tight raps. He will be so so so missed…
i can't believe he's dead.
i can't believe he's dead.
I work in a rehab unit, that guy was smacked up to his eyes. Why did no one offer him so help?
are you serious? he has just been reported as dead and leaving behind a little daughter and all you care about is being FIRST? get a life
Lucid, intelligent, interesting…How is this "clearly under the influence?" Perez, Don't add to an already tragic situation with this ridiculous assessment.
so sad.. :/
We will miss you Heath!!!
i dont think he was on drugs..he kinda just seems really shy and when im in a interview or talking to someone i dont know im always like moving around and getting nervous..he just seemed nervous and really shy.
poor heath…he will be missed
Very kind and respectful of you to post this video only hours after his death. You've hit an all time low! You are truly one of the most disgusting slimy pieces of shit on the earth today. I'm done with this website. I wish you the absolute worst Mr. P!
he's like itching to get outta his body. ahhhh i'm so sad!
RIP HEATH!
No!!! Heath!! RIP!
i am seriously sad about his death! i fell in love with him after A KNights Tale and have been a fan since!!! tragic..
definately drugged up…and itchy
How the fuck can everyone say FIRST to this?
A MAN IS DEAD.
How do you think his wife and child feel?
Have some fucking respect, for christ sake.
R.I.P to a wonderful actor and man. x
firstt
awful, just awful =(
this is tragic
It is such a shame that michelle will have to tell her 2 year old daughter that her daddy will never com back to look for her. I refuse to believe that he commited suicide, he was so brilliant..
I don't think that it CLEARLY indicates he was on drugs at all. He was intelligent in his answers and not slurring his speech. He was fidgity, but that could be that he was nervous, or maybe even a little ADHD. I'm certainly not going to assume he's under the influence.
that wasn't that shocking, the only thing he did was fidget.
Rest in peace my love!
I don't know if this proves anything, he just seems distracted. The hand gestures are odd, but his responses to the questions seem pretty coherent.
That is a surprise.
I guess even with all the paps and gossip sites it is possible to keep some big stuff quiet.
perez i love your webiste but how DARE YOU talk ill of someone who just recently passed away. keep your thoughts to yourself right now, the video isn't "shocking" and just because he's fidgeting doesn't necessarily mean he's under the influence of ANYTHING. those actors do interviews all day long to promote their movies, i'm sure they get fidgety after a while. DUH
yes that would be drugs. sad. now i know why the divorce happened.
It's funny how when he was alive, I found this video hilarious….but now that he's dead, it's extremely depressing. Poor guy. I loved him!
this is just really sad … i hope nobody bashes him, he was a great young actor
Dude your a fucking asshole. I usually love coming to your website making fun of everyone you do..but this is just tastless that you put this up there. Okay, he had a problem. He's dead now. You don't have to show an interview of him saying that he's clearly under the influence. What if Michelle see's this. He has a two year old daughter for fucks sake.
Give it a rest and just say a prayer for his daughter.
looks like someone abusing some oxy-contin.or mabye he was just tired.
Agree with the above. Definitely not "clearly" on drugs. He was just as artistic type, shy and fidgety. Don't bend the truth. RIP Heath. Watch Australia Day (this sat) become a national day of mourning.
How is that clearly under the influence? wow, he moved his arms? Fuck me. You seem more under the influence when you are "reacting for the first time" to a you tube video. You are such a dickhead. Seriously. Thank god you are gay, cause noone wants you to reproduce
rip heath ledger
It seems like people always overlook the clues, until it's too late.
Damn Dirty Ugly Negro Apes! Getting our fine young white youth hooked on their filthy crack and drugs! Curse them!!! May Jesus Christ punish the subhuman animals in the depths of HELL for Eternity!!!!!!
this clips doesn't prove anything about him being under the influence of drugs/ perez fatass unoriginal with a name hilton
poor guy just needed some love and comfort in his life.
i read some slanderous stuff about him on wikipeida which was removed…someone need to remove that damn site….anywho
r.i.p. heathcliff
i was just mimicking his joker all last week
why couldnt it have been britney spears, shes a waste of space. He was a good guy!!! Sooo sad..
OMG! He can't even speak correctly. It's horrible to see such a great actor under the influence of something terrible. I almost wish he didn't hide it so well so that way he could have gotten help. Poor guy, he will definetly be missed.
THIS IS SUCH SAD NEWS!! WE LOST ANOTHER BRILLIANT ACTOR AT TOO YOUNG OF AN AGE
FOR ANYONE WHO KNOWS FOR THEMSELVES OR HAS BEEN AROUND DRUG USERS YOU KNOW WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE, ACT LIKE, AND THEIR MANURISMS…SO WITH THAT BEEING SAID I DEFINITELY 100% CAN SAY IT LOOKS LIKE HE'S HIGH OUT OF HIS FUCKING MIND..SERIOUSLY PEOPLE, LOOK AT HIS PUPILS, LOOK AT HIS JAWLINE!!! COME ON!!
RIP YOU WILL BE MISSES
I heard he'd been sober for about a year.
so sad! how does someone as talented, respected and promising as him die and crackheads and cokeheads like Winehouse and Britney survive?!
He's not on DRUGS. He's bored out of his MIND. He may in fact have a drug problem but I don't see anything in this clip that would make me feel like he was on drugs. A little fidgety maybe but nothing else.
He looked nervous and/or uncomfortable, not high. Get a life.
apparently the apt belonged to Mary-Kate Olsen?
I don't think he's high, he seems uncomfortable and coherent - don't make something out of nothing
aww he was so cute.
perez im fucking over you! you SUCK! APPEARING TO BE CLEARLY UNDER WHATTTT INFLUENCE? youre terrible. youre a big fat cunt. why would you post this video and say he was on drugs. he was stretching…which is what people that excercise do. you wouldnt know you big heffer. i really hate your website and will never visit. your sponsors are stupid for supporting your sick cause
How does that get turned into "clearly being on drugs"? I'm curious, as Heath Ledger has always interviewed that way. I actually heard on the TV that Heath was always a tough person to interview.
Seriously, get your sh*t straight before you make up rumors.
RIP HEATH
I'm in shock my G-d R.I.P. he was so young my heart goes out to his family .: (
Looks like he feels soooo good…
I'll think I'll have what he's has please….
but seriously…R.I.P…soo sad.
I wouldn't use the words "clearly under the influence of drugs." He is figeting with his arms and scratching himself, but he isn't slurring his words or looks spaced out or anything. I was surprised to know that he kept his drug problem a secret, and I can see he hid it pretty well. One could interpret the figeting for nervousness.
I love him! So sad that he's become the James Dean of our time…….
wow…
i'd have never thought he was on 'it' like that. we spend so much time looking at Lunatic Britney that we seem to be oblivious that there are so many stars who are los
