On April 4th, 2021, people around the world took to Twitter to remember Heath Ledger on what would have been his 42nd birthday. Here are some memorable tweets that share beautiful photos of the iconic man, actor and father.
By the age of 28, Ledger had already numerous acting awards, including a Best Supporting Actor Oscar award. His catalogue of films was broad and varied, and he proved himself an incredibly versatile actor.
Of course, Ledger is remembered for his last and possibly most influential role as the Joker in Dark Knight (2008). Ledger is said to have locked himself up inside a hotel room for an entire month before filming the movie, as he mentally prepared himself to portray a psychopath.
Ledger was not only a reputed actor at such a young age - he was also a father. His daughter, named Matilda, who was only two when her father died. His death was a tragedy for everyone who knew him, including fans. But today Twitter honored his life by sharing photos of Ledger and remembering the beautiful person he was.
Simply one of the greatest performances of all time#HappyBirthdayHeathLedgerhttps://t.co/GwPOcMGqKv
