Edward Norton Overdoses On Heroin While Researching A Film Role
Famous HollywoodÂ actor Edward Norton was hospitalized this morning after reportedly overdosing on heroin. Norton claims he is researching a role in an upcoming film in which he plays an heroin addict.âWhen I take on a role, I take it all the way,â said Norton. âFor Fight ClubÂ I learned to fight; I even went to bars and picked fights with guys just to get experience. For American History X, I bulked up and joined a skinhead groupÂ all in the name of research. Now that Iâm going to play an heroin addict, it should come as no surprise to people that I started using heroin, only for research of course. I didnât mean to overdose, but I guess thats part of the learning curve of being an addict. Iâve got to say, heroin is really, really good. I guess thatâs how I ended up using too much, in the name of research. I want to thank all my fans for their well wishes and Iâll be alright once I get out of the hospital, so I can continue to research my role some more.ââI have no idea what he is talking about,â said Nortonâs agent, Saul Ruben. âIf there was a movie deal I would know about it.Â I certainly didnât get him the deal. I find it a little odd that heâs researching something that no one has heard of. Iâll tell you though â heâs as method as they come. Seriously. For Death To Smoochy, he used to really wear his purple suit around, months at a time, and would only talk to children. He also beat the shit out of Robin Williams on a regular basis, just to keep them hating each other. Heâs an extreme actor.ââHis career was in the toilet until BirdmanÂ came out last year, and now heâs on the fast track to win an Oscar. I was hoping he was making a comeback,â said movie critic Carmine Classi. âMaybe heâs on to something, though. Next time my wife catches me cheating, Iâll tell her Iâm researching infidelity.âÂ
