Did Heath Ledger regain his manhood with his performance as the Joker?

Question

Did Heath Ledger regain his manhood with his performance as the Joker?

Answer 1

He was always a good actor and the Joker was a perfect finale.

Answer 2

I don't understand how a man can regain or lose his manhood based on a movie character.  

Answer 3

He was an actor. It is ridiculous to think we have any insight to his manhood through the roles he chose.  

Answer 4

No.  Why do you think he lost it?  A movie role?

Answer 5

When did he LOSE it????

Answer 6

I just saw brokeback... I am a huge Heath Ledger fan... But, he will never seem quite as s**y now that I have watched him kiss another guy...over and over... I hope his role as joker changes my mind. But he is and always will be "manly"... He cant help that.

Answer 7

Are you talking about Brokeback? It's called acting and it takes a REAL man to have the balls to play the role of a character he probably knew he was gonna get flamed for by people like you.

Answer 8

I don't think he ever really lost it...

Answer 9

He never really lost his "manhood".

Its takes BALLS to play a g*y man when you're not g*y.

Answer 10

Had he lost his manhood? And did they sew it back on?

Answer 11

Ah politely incorrect you have done it again... Attacking the dead so sad.  Your just upset that Heath could play a g*y guy, a rebel, a joker, be dead and women would still pick him over you... Green is not your color.

Answer 12

You are implying he lost it in Brokeback Mountain? I hope manhood is something more than who you sleep with and whether you are a knife wielding psychopath or not.

Answer 13

He never lost it. He's always been hot, not to mention an incredible actor.  

Answer 14

He never lost it in the first place. He was only playing a role, just like his co-star Jake Gyllenhaal.

Answer 15

No. He was simply doing the job he was getting paid for in the same fashion as the rest of the world does.

Answer 16

I wasn't aware someone's manhood was directly in relation to whether he played a homosexual or a homocidal maniac in a movie.

hmmm...ya learn something knew everyday.

Answer 17

I don't think it is his manhood that is lost or that needs questioning, but you yourself, as your very question indicates your insecurity of your own manhood.

I think Jazz says it best too.

Answer 18

Sorry, I have to go with some of the other answers on this one.

People seem to think that actors/celebrities/pop stars have some sort of licence to comment on issues about which they know nothing, and a silly band of fans who think that just because he played a certain charcter well on screen it reflects on his 'mannhood'

He was a drug addicted actor, the likes of which have been seen before and will again.  His death was a tragedy, but no more so than anyone else in the same boat.
