In an interview with a US media outlet, the \u201cSpider-Man\u201d actor revealed that Ledger knew the DC film would be a success even before it was released.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe had just done the \u2018Joker,\u2019 he had just finished doing \u2018The Dark Knight,\u2019 and he was so smug about it. I was like, \u2018How did that go?\u2019 and he was like, \u2018Yeah, it\u2019s really good,\u2019\u201d the Hollywood actor said.<\/p>\n

Directed by notable filmmaker Christopher Nolan, the film starred actor Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne\/Batman while Heath Ledger played the Joker alongside Aaron Eckhart, Michael Caine, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman and Cillian Murphy.<\/p>\n

\u2018The Dark Knight\u2019 was released in theatres in July 2008, six months after the death of Ledger.<\/p>\n

The 28-year-old Hollywood actor was found dead in his Manhattan apartment on January 22, 2008, and his death was ruled an accidental drug overdose.<\/p>\n

Heath Ledger earned multiple posthumous accolades including the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor.<\/p>\n

Recalling his time with the late actor during the filming of \u201cThe Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus,\u201d Andrew Garfield said that Ledger was inspiring and would always have fun on set.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was a kind of beacon, it was like a wild animal. He was so free and so wild and so, kind of dangerous on set in a way that was the kind of thing that is inspiring and spontaneous,\u201d the \u2018Spider-Man\u2019 star added.<\/p>\n

\u201cI still have lots of mementos of his,\u201d Garfield said. \u201cI remember the first day I met him he was wearing these amazing camo Ray-Ban sunglasses and I just said, \u2018Oh hey, cool sunglasses.\u2019 And the next day they were like in my dressing room, he had just left them for me. He was just a very generous, beautiful, creative spirit.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
