Kyle Sandilands reveals his controversial take on late Heath Ledger’s acting skills
Kyle Sandilands shocked listeners on Tuesday when he revealed he was not a fan of late Oscar winning Australian actor, Heath Ledger.
The shock jock, 52, was discussing the types of men women find attractive with his co-host Jackie ‘O’ Henderson on The Kyle and Jackie O Show, and made the bold claim Heath’s good looks was all he had going for him.
‘Everyone kept saying what a great actor he was but he just said, “ugh, ugh”,’ Kyle began.
‘How is that a great actor? You can’t even understand what he said. Rest in peace, Heath,’ he added.
‘Yeah, he mumbled everything,’ Jackie agreed.

Kyle then joked he knew the real reason why people kept re-watching Heath’s romantic drama Brokeback Mountain, which he starred in alongside Jake Gyllenhaal.
‘Did you jerk off watching Brokeback, when the two guys were with each other in the tent?’ Kyle cheekily asked Jackie.
‘I think I need to re-watch it. Been so long, I don’t even remember it,’ Jackie responded.

Heath was nominated for the Best Actor Oscar for his role in the 2005 drama, which centres around a secret love affair between two male sheepherders in 1963.
The Aussie actor tragically died aged 28 on January 22, 2008 due to an accidental overdose of prescription medication.
Elsewhere on the show, Kyle and Jackie O were forced to improvise when their scheduled interview with Tiffany Haddish was cancelled due to the SAG actors strike.
Kyle told Jackie he had developed a work around solution – they would interview an AI with Tiffany’s voice.
Haddish, 43, was meant to be on a promo tour for her new movie Haunted Mansion, but it was cancelled due to the ongoing actors strike in America, which has seen A-Listers cancel work over increasing concerns about the role of AI in movies.
‘The actors are worried about AI writing scripts and superimposing their faces and mimicking voices. I thought to myself, do they have a real gripe or are they in a kerfuffle over nothing.’ Kyle said.
However, the hosts were not impressed by the AI’s overly scripted responses and said they would stick to speaking to real people.
