Jack on Heath: "I Warned Him"

The paparazzi broke the news of Heath Ledger's death to Jack Nicholson in London last night -- and he had an eerie reaction to the news.


The photogs told Jack that Heath overdosed, but right now the evidence is pointing away from a suicide. At a presser today in London, Jack specifically warned the crowd against Ambien, saying he almost drove off a cliff while using the sleep aid. He added that he never knew Heath.

23. I couldn't understand him either and turned off the live feed.. After he says "I warned him" it's all garbled but I did hear ppl laugh right after he said that.. What is wrong with pp? You think just because it was JN who said that, you think he made a funny? Shows a lot of disrespect and ignorance!

24. 18-I actually do not think that Jack and Heath have ever worked together, or if so, it wasn't recently. Heath played the same role as the Joker that Jack made famous in the earlier Batman movies.

I think Jack is saying that he warned him about his drug use because he states it after the paps tell him it was a drug overdose. I can see him partying with the younger Hollywood elite and telling them that a few drugs here and there are great, but you need to watch yourself, as he is a seasoned veteran and has managed to endure all his years and remain pretty healthy, amazingly.

Then he just was talking about having to be outside due to the non-smoking laws and that's about it.

29. You can't understand a single word Jack Nicholson is saying so why post this inaudible video? If he is responding to the news of Heath Ledgers's death, he seems very cavalier about it, smoking and smiling. Really doesn't seem too broken up about it, but Jack is Whack so matter how you slice it. Guess he's too caught up in being Jack Nicholson to give a crap about anybody else. Heard Jack was pissed they gave the role of The Joker to Heath and not to him again.

As an aside, Heath looks like a total addict with those black lifeless eyes. He probably OD'd on heroin and/or Coke.

30. The guy has had a narcissistic existance since he was in his 20's... What do you expect him to say? Of course he is going to appear unaffected and insert himself in the news some way. I like Jack, but you really have to take him for who and what he is.
