Andrew Garfield Reflects on Heath Ledger's Legacy

Andrew Garfield recently recounted his experiences with Heath Ledger while promoting his film We Live in Time on the Happy Sad Confused podcast. Garfield recalled Ledger's confidence regarding his performance in The Dark Knight, stating that Ledger was 'so smug' and assuredly proclaimed the film would be 'really good' after completing it. Tragically, Ledger passed away in January 2008, months before the film's release, yet The Dark Knight went on to break box-office records and earn him a posthumous Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. Garfield also shared a humorous incident where Ledger critiqued his own magazine cover photo, dismissing it as a 'f***ing s*** photo.' Despite their brief working relationship, Garfield expressed that Ledger was an inspiring and generous spirit, leaving a lasting impact on him. The Dark Knight remains celebrated as one of the greatest superhero films ever made.
