He contradicted himself with his death


He made quotes about how bad drugs are, then he dies from taking them. May be a great actor but that was dumb as hell.

Rated R Horror movies are better, no matter the argument.

Not really, he did drugs and paid the ultimate price. No contradiction whatsoever.

How's it not a contradiction. He claimed that drugs were bad yet did them.

Yes it is a contradiction.

reply

Maybe he knew that drugs were bad, from personal experience?

But really, it goes to show how seriously everyone should take the stuff celebrities say about themselves in interviews. An actor's public persona is not who they really are, it's who they (or their publicist) want to appear to be.

reply

People do things they know are bad all the time - because it feels good. No contradiction.

reply

True. If anything he just proved his own point.

reply

Oh yeah i bet he's kicking himself.

reply

He would have been contradicting himself if he said "Hey people do drugs! They are good for you!"

reply

He overdosed on a spiked drink.
