So we all remember the interrogation scene in The Dark Knight, correct? Well…Ledger actually insisted that Christian Bale beat him as hard as possible to achieve a sense of realness for that particular scene.

Say what? Like for real beat me to make this look real? I have to hand it to Ledger, that is definitely something the real Joker would’ve have done and laugh about, as well. I personally just can’t imagine asking someone to really kick my ass to remain authentic to a role I was playing.

Perhaps this is why I am a writer. I can type to my little heart’s content with finger and neck cramps as my authentic pain, as opposed to a bruised face and being pulled over interrogation tables for authenticity.
