Heath Ledger Was 'Laid Back', According To Christian Bale

Heath Ledger Was 'Laid Back', According To Christian Bale
I'll say. A little too "laid back," if you ask me. Don't do drugs. Oh, what am I saying. If you're going to do drugs, do them correctly and don't get sloppy. Christian Bale is on the press junket for The Dark Knight, and spoke to Details magazine about what the deceased Heath Ledger was like on the set.

Everyone is tip-toeing around Ledger's death and trying to be as tactful as possible so people still come to see this movie. It sounds like everyone's been given statements to read. Like Bale saying he hopes that the film "will be an absolutely appropriate celebration of his work."

Bale did find that Ledger was chill despite his intense performance.

"He was incredibly intense in his performance but incredibly mellow and laid-back," Bale says. He also says that this is a Joker that's "dirtier than anybody's envisioned the Joker before."

The flick looks rad, but there's no way people are going to be able to watch it without thinking about what a senseless loss occurred. That's my two cents. Christ, when did I get so serious? It must be the hangover.
