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.

62. Why does the title say Jack says I warned him where in the actual article it says Jack never knew Heath? Are the editors retarded or just not paying attention?

63. The fact that people were laughing when Jack said " I warned him" is soooooo sicking!! This guy was sick and it's horrible!! He was a great actor and we all have to remember that he still has a little one that he left behind!! Jack has even made other statements about him "warning" the general public about Ambien, I think that he was refering to that statement as general, not closly related to Heath!

64. a little bit harsh on that comment #4 wouldn't you say?? YIKES - have some compassion. should we really hold much stock in what jack nicholson has to say about this? not to point fingers but isn't it pretty well known that nicholson doesn't exactly shy away from drugs.....i mean, my god, every time he makes a public appearance he seems coked up. not to disrespect a hollywood legend but i think it was in bad taste and HIGHLY irresponsible for him to make a comment like this to the press.

65. Nicholson almost drove off a cliff after taking Ambien? Duh -- not supposed to operate machinery after taking a dose - including driving. Ambien is a sleep aid -- apparently Jack must have mixed up the pill bottles and thought he was taking No-Doze.

66. I'll be glad when people stop making a joke of this man's death. Whether he had money or not, if it was anyone else's relative, it wouldn't be funny. Show some respect to the man's family.

71. That is SO sad. What kind of sick, twisted mind does Jack have?? He smirks after his comment almost like he's enjoying Heaths passing. Just seeing Heaths pictures leaves an empty...painful feeling in my chest...my stomach turns just thinking about him no longer being here with us...how can people be so insensitve??? rest in peace Heath....you will live on through your family, friends, and fans.....you will never be forgotten...

72. Jack was not being an a$$hole in the light of Heaths death, many of you may not know that he truly did warn him. Jack spoke one on one with Heath about his addiction to Ambien, and how it almost killed him once. When he said "I warned him", he was speaking in reference to that. It had nothing to do with the Joker role.

Sure Heath Ledger's death is tragic, but Im sorry, I cannot feel sorry for someone who caused his own death due to an addiction. He had the power to stop and he did not.

73. He Said
"Who"
Then
"Of What"
Then
"I Warned Him"
Then
"Pretend I'm Not Here That The Best Thing"
Then
"I Came Out For A Cigerate"
Then
"That's All I CAme Out Here For, Its The Law"
Then
"I Sign Autopgraphs like Nobody Ever Saw"
Then
"I'll Just Stand Here And Get Wet And i'm Going Back In For My Beer"

That Is What Jack Says In The Video
Lol

75. Such an A@@. Jack as "I warned him." Is he a little upset that he wasn't asked (which he might have been) to play joker? Again what an A@@ to come off what that kind of remark.
