“What a tragedy. My heart goes out to his family.” - Nicole Kidman

You ignored the unhealthy bit.
I don’t think it’s callous to point out that someone didn’t look great for 28 - bearing in mind they actually died.
But if it makes you feel better - he looked really really happy - and then he died.

Well, gee Karen, because someone doesn’t look happy, don’t expect him to unexpectedly die. You seem callous to me. We’ve all probably looked unhappy at some time in our lives.

I suppose there’s nothing you can do when an actor unexpectedly dies except dribble rubbish about him.
He didn’t look particularly happy or healthy so I’m not really surprised.
It’s a shame though.
