Heath Ledger and Nick Drake -Reincarnate?

It is easier for me considering my Eastern background to believe that Heath Ledger and Nick Drake could have been the reincarnations of the same soul. The west however may have trouble with it.

First of all check out the dates. Nicholas Rodney Drake, born 19 June 1948 and died of antidepressant overload on 25 November 1974. He was 26. His dad was an engineer and he had an older sister who wanted to be an actress whom he was close to. Close to family and uncomfortable with public, he too had troubles sleeping or containing his energy. He was found dead sprawled on his bed. Posthumous popularity. Read more..

Heath Andrew Ledger was born 4 April 1979 (four years after Nick dies) and he died of prescription drug overdose on 22 January 2008. He was 29. His dad is an engineer. Close to older sister Kate who is an aspiring actress. Fidgets uncomfortably during interviews and had trouble sleeping too. Was also found dead sprawled out on his bed. Posthumous awards.

Eyes are said to be the windows to the soul and check out the similarity here. Forget the physical, feel the vibes in both the eyes. Uncanny, eh?



They say some physical similarities do remain between reincarnations. Check out the droop in the shoulder slouch.



Ledger apparent had a morbid fascination of Drake that he made a dark, brooding film, Black Eyed Dog to accompany one of the last songs Drake recorded before he died. It is however not available on the net at all. But speaking about Drake at the Venice film festival September 2007, Ledger said: "Nick Drake is a very mysterious figure. I was obsessed with his story and music and I still have great hopes to tell his story one day."
