Heath Ledger’s father Kim reveals a diary his son kept while filming The Dark Knight in the German documentary series, “Too Young To Die.”
In the clip, Ledger’s dad shares, “This is the Joker’s diary. In order to inhabit his character, he [Heath] locked himself up in a hotel room for weeks.”

Kim explains, “He would do that. He liked to dive into his characters, but this time he really took it up a notch.”
Ledger’s dad also shows a page from the journal depicting the movie’s hospital scene, where The Joker dresses up as a nurse and confronts Two-Face at his bed.
Kim offers, “The hospital scene is interesting because when he was a kid, his sister Kate liked to dress him up as a nurse. He was really funny like that. He also was [funny] in the movie.”
Ledger’s father goes on to reveal, “Before the end of the shooting he wrote ‘bye bye’ on the back of the page,” admitting, “It was hard to see this.”
Next to the diary stands Ledger’s Best Supporting Actor Oscar for the The Dark Knight.
He died in January 2008, six months before the movie hit theaters.
