Jack Nicholson misquoted on Heath Ledger

04 Feb 08

From: contactmusic.com Jack Nicholson insists stories claiming he warned Heath Ledger about the dangers of sleeping pills are not true - stating he never even met the tragic star. Jack was asked how he felt about the Brokeback Mountain actor's death last month (Jan 08) by photographers in London and he was quoted as saying, "I told him so." However, he states he was misquoted and was simply warning everyone against using that brand of pills. He says, "What I actually said was, 'I warned them.' I had a bad experience with those sleeping pills (that Ledger apparently took). I took one of these pills and had just gone to sleep when I had a phone call to go to an emergency at a friend's house. I jumped up, went outside and some time later woke up on the driveway. It sounds amusing but I live in the mountains and it could of been worse. I didn't know Heath Ledger, but I know those pills." Ledger was found dead in his New York apartment last month (22 Jan 08) at the age of 28. An autopsy failed to reveal the cause of death, and police are still awaiting the results of a toxicology test to asses if sleeping pills found in his apartment played a part in his death.

If you monitor this awesome website Jack, please have that brown spot on your hand checked out. It looks rather large to be a mole, unless its a bruise.
