Speaking at Tribeca Film Festival following the premiere of the documentary I Am Heath Ledger, the actor’s sister Kate dismissed those rumours.
I Am Heath Ledger has been met with middling reviews, both Hollywood Reporter and Variety stating the film, while offering some intimacy, barely scratches the surface of Ledger’s legacy.
“I was really shocked because that was him having fun,” she told the audience at a Q&A, according to The Telegraph.
Heath Ledger’s tragic death before the release of The Dark Knight led to rampant speculation over how playing the Joker contributed to his mental health.
