Going on 12 years since his death, and I still get choked up thinking about Heath and all the beauty he gave us through his portrayals.

I know EVERYONE talks about Heath's role as the joker. But he really was incredible in that film. I remember seeing the trailer for The Dark Knight, and seeing the joker, and I had NO idea it was Heath. I thought it was some unknown actor. When I found out he was playing the joker, I thought "Heath ledger from Brokeback Mountain, and 10 things I hate about you? There's no way he pulled off playing the joker". Boy I was wrong. To this day, I think it's the best performance in ANY movie. A lot of people doubted that he'd pull it off, and he proved EVERYONE wrong. I still get goosebumps when I hear his joker laugh.

I love him so much. Chris Nolan said it best when he said “A huge hole was torn in the history of cinema” when we lost Heath. I hope that he and Phillip Seymour Hoffman are somewhere drinking and having fun.

Heath Ledger was awesome. His performance in the Dark Knight was incredible and one of the best actings of all time.I will never forget you and your art Heath Ledger. Rest in peace

Heath truly would’ve gone on to be undoubtedly Australia’s best actor, a tragic loss from someone who was so young and had so many phenomenal performances left to show the world

[jasoncoladonato]

His death still saddens me. I’ll always love Heath Ledger, and I have no doubt in my mind that if he was still alive he’d be one of the best, if not the best, actor(s) working.

I think the crazy thing is, is that when you usually watch the same actor in different movies, you usually can find similarities of themselves within each character, no matter how amazing they are. But Heath Ledger was so talented, and he worked so hard at what he did, that when I watch him as the joker, I never see Heath Ledger, but only the joker. No matter how hard I looked; and THAT is the best acting out there. His dedication towards his work and his gentle personality will be missed forever.

Daniel Day-Lewis' reaction is so beautifully heartfelt. Perfectly summarised the feeling of unexpected shock and grief that comes from such a sudden loss

[person-dudj]

it makes me cry to know that Heath hasn't been forgotten. words can't explain what a performance he gave in one of the best movies in history

[silviebee]

I know that he's most remembered for Joker, but I love Brokeback Mountain so much, and Heath in it was amazing. And Candy <3

[OddBallPerformance]

If Michael Cane, Daniel Day-Lewis, and Gary Oldman sing your praises as a talented actor - you truly were among the best. I am pretty sure if Heath heard their words he would have been filled with nothing but pure joy and a sense of belonging and validation for all of his hard work.

[zarakikenpachi]

Daniel Day Lewis. What a class act. You can tell that every word he spoke was genuinely heartfelt. RIP Heath.

[Meowmeter]

The only other time I ever felt the same sense of shock and loss was when River Phoenix passed away.... two enormous talents who still had so much glory to live in their careers. RIP Heath and River.

[joeyledbetter]

Even though I've never been a superhero fan, there's no denying that Heath brought a depth, a haunting realism to Joker that no one else has ever been able to pull off.

[Todo]

He had so much life in him that not even his death could extinguish.

[blakerowley]

What an icon, the fact that he is still talked about a decade after the tragedy tells how important this man is ❤️

[jul]
