Christian Bale and Michael Caine paid tribute to their late co-star Heath Ledger at “The Dark Knight” world premiere in New York on Monday, Star Pulse informs.
Stars including Ethan Hawke, Gary Oldman, Maggie Gyllenhaal and her brother Jake - who appeared with Ledger in 2005 movie” Brokeback Mountain” - walked the red carpet to see the tragic actor's turn in the film. And his co-stars were keen to honor his performance as The Joker.
"Working with Heath was fantastic. He steals the movie and I'm quite happy to say that. He's a hell of a talent and created a joker that's very iconic and one that will become a classic portrayal of the ages," Bale said.
And Michael Caine, who plays the hero's butler, was full of praise for the "intensity and ferocity of the performance" given by Ledger.
“He's certainly the best villain I've ever seen," Caine said.
Ledger died from an accidental overdose of prescription drugs. He was found dead at his New York apartment on January 22nd. He was 28 years old.
