Curious facts you maybe didn't know about Heath Ledger

Heath Ledger was one of my favourite actors. I think his best performances are in "Brokeback Mountain", "Batman" and "Candy", which is a good film but very sad, brutal and emotional at the same time.

His smile was so lovely.

I found on IMDB, the best movie website out there, some curious facts about him. Jana inspired me to post about him, as she posted a video where he sings "I can't take my eyes off you" to Julia Stiles. Oh, check Jana's latest post, I'm sure you'll love it.
