The late and much lamented Heath Ledger would often become so wrapped up in his roles that the strain would leak over into his personal life-with some suggesting this might have been a factor in his death. While playing the Joker in The Dark Knight, Ledger reportedly said “I probably slept an average of two hours a night. I couldn’t stop thinking. My body was exhausted, and my mind was still going”. He also reported feeling “stressed out” while filming Bob Dylan biopic I’m Not There.
