Heath Ledger was reportedly told to seek professional help for his personal problems while filming The Dark Knight.

The late Australian actor - who tragically died from an accidental prescription drugs overdose in January - was reportedly warned he had become too obsessed with his portrayal of iconic Batman villain The Joker in the upcoming blockbuster.

A source told FOX News: "Heath refused to talk to anyone out of character.

"If you tried to communicate with him normally instead of The Joker, he would just ignore you.

"He would often come to the set to hang out even on his days off, freaking everyone out. Towards the end of filming, he was warned by people that he had gone too far, but it was almost like he couldn't connect with those who cared for him anymore."

  • What was he taking? Did they release that information? Because it could help people decide what to do about medication & if they should take it or not? Was it Lexapro, because I took that for a month & I swear it drove me crazy & caused me to act differently & angry, it caused me to lose my job.
    Do we know what he was taking besides Ambien?
