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.
46. it's not playing grrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

48. He probably did warn him. Don't you figure Jack if anyone would know the ills of the business and the laws of moderation? I don't think he was being rude at all. I mean honestly how many of his co-workers and friends do you think Jack has seen go down in this same fashion over the course of his career?

49. First of all they want to catch these actors off-guard and have the first knee-jerk reaction spewed out.
Jack said "what happened" and then a pap said "overdose" then jack said "thats _____" and then " I warned him".. and everyone laughed.
Honestly, Jack has seen it all.. is it any surprise he is indifferent to it all?
He was smiling? how could you tell when he was looking the other way opening his mouth for a cigarette... maybe he smiled cause everyone was laughing and thats a common involuntary reaction. yeah... im sure jack is a cold son of a gun and just laughs uncontrollably whenever someone dies. get your heads out of your asses!

50. I warned him could mean many thing's. Maybe the role of the Joker in Batman is intense and he warned him how the character can really drain a person. Or how after this Batman movie would be released that his life might not be the same with all the highly media propaganda.

51. He chuckled through it, because death is very uncomfortable to deal with -- especially in front of others. For the record, after they tell him that Heath died of an overdose, JN said "That's awful..." Before he goes on to say he warned him... Then he chuckles a bunch to break the discomfort of the whole situation.

55. I'm the kind of person who laughs histerically when nervous, so we cant really say how he felt about heath's death.
about "I warned him", there's another video where he says he almost died du to ambien use, so maybe he told heath no to take the pills.

59. On ET tonight they showed this clip and also showed the rest of it where Jack was actually referring to Ambien where he's warned a lot of people regarding this medication because he's had a bad experience with it where he almost drove off a cliff while under that medication. I think that sometimes TMZ like to create their own news so they can generate post after post after post of the same subject, creating, negating, creating and again changing position. I guess it's a lot to ask from papparazzi to have just a tad of integrity.

60. From what I've read in various sources was that Jack and Heath had only met once. Jack was upset that he didn't get the Joker part and he let Heath know. It was the only time they had ever communicated with eachother. Heath didn't find the experience pleasant so he's avoided any socializing with Jack since. Did Jack tell Heath something about the Joker role being tough? I don't know.
