Michael Jai White addressed the long-standing conspiracy theory claiming that Heath Ledger's role as The Joker in "The Dark Knight" led to his untimely death. Many assumed that the darkness of the character consumed Ledger, but White dispelled this myth. He clarified that Ledger was already filming another project when he passed away, highlighting that the actor had been enjoying himself on sets, often engaging in light-hearted activities like performing magic tricks. White emphasized that Ledger didn't stay in character off-camera and was a fun-loving individual. He pointed out the dangers of mixing medications, as Ledger's death was the result of a tragic accidental overdose from combining sleep aids with painkillers.
