  • Johnny Depp, Jude Law keep Heath Ledger’s legacy alive

    Heath Ledger, who died due to accidental overdose of prescription medications on January 22, 2008, was already working on some projects prior to his demise.

    Soon after his sudden death, the ventures he was working on were left in the middle.

    For instance, Ledger was working on The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus before his death. 

    After he died, director Terry Gilliam feared that it might tank the project as the late Australian actor was playing a very significant character in the fantasy adventure.

    This is when, Terry came up with the idea of recasting Heath’s role. Therefore, he took on-board three actors and close friends to The Dark Knight actor to portray the act with all having the same character.

    Therefore, he first approached Johnny Depp to feature in the film, who happily agreed to do the role as he was quite a good friend of Ledger.

    Later, the creator turned to Jude Law and Penguin star Colin Farrell to continue the late actor’s legacy in the movie. All happily agreed to do the movie.

    Gilliam first thought to use CGI to supplement Heath’s appearance, but he ditched that idea himself and came up with another brilliant plan.

    There is a scene in the 2009 movie where ‘Tony’ passes through the mirror and changes shape. The director felt he could infuse the three superstars in that part.

    As the character passes through the mirror three times, therefore it seemed logical as well to use three different actors.

    Surprisingly, Jude, Colin and Johnny all three gave quite wide ranging performances, reported Collider.



    Johnny Depp and Jude Law, two talented actors who were close friends with the late Heath Ledger, continue to honor his legacy in their work and personal lives.

    Ledger, who tragically passed away in 2008 at the young age of 28, left behind a lasting impact on the film industry with his iconic performances in films such as “Brokeback Mountain,” “The Dark Knight,” and “A Knight’s Tale.”

    Depp and Law, who both worked with Ledger on various projects, have spoken fondly of their friendship with him and have expressed their admiration for his talent and passion for acting. In interviews, they have praised Ledger’s dedication to his craft and his ability to fully immerse himself in his roles.

    In recent years, both Depp and Law have continued to pay tribute to Ledger by taking on challenging and diverse roles that push the boundaries of their acting abilities. Depp’s portrayal of eccentric characters like Captain Jack Sparrow in the “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise and Law’s transformative performances in films like “The Talented Mr. Ripley” and “The Grand Budapest Hotel” are a testament to their commitment to their craft, much like Ledger’s own dedication to his work.

    As fans of Ledger, Depp and Law have also taken steps to keep his memory alive by supporting initiatives and projects that honor his legacy. Depp, in particular, has been vocal about his admiration for Ledger and has spoken out about the impact that his friend had on him personally and professionally.

    In a time when Hollywood is constantly evolving and changing, it is heartwarming to see actors like Depp and Law continue to remember and celebrate the life and work of their dear friend, Heath Ledger. Through their own performances and actions, they are ensuring that Ledger’s legacy will never be forgotten.

  • When Johnny Depp, Jude Law & Colin Farrell Honored Heath Ledger By Completing His Last Film & Donating Their Salaries To His Daughter

    Seventeen years ago, Heath Ledger’s sudden death in January 2008 shook the world. At just 28 years old, the actor was soon seen in an unforgettable performance as the maniacal criminal Joker in The Dark Knight. However, Christopher Nolan’s Batman flick wasn’t his final project.

    While his outlandish turn as Joker deservingly earned him a posthumous Academy Award, Ledger was also in the middle of The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, a fantasy drama co-starring Andrew Garfield. To complete the shooting after Ledger’s passing, not one but three actors — Johnny Depp, Jude Law, and Colin Farrell — came on board to actualize the Australian actor’s last work.

    In a powerful gesture of generosity, the trio of English, Irish, and American actors donated their entire earnings from the film to Ledger’s and Michelle Williams’ 2-year-old daughter, Matilda, ensuring she would…



    In a heartwarming gesture of friendship and respect, Johnny Depp, Jude Law, and Colin Farrell came together to honor the late Heath Ledger by completing his final film, “The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus,” after his tragic passing in 2008. Not only did the trio step in to help finish the movie, but they also generously donated their salaries from the film to Ledger’s daughter, Matilda.

    Ledger had been in the middle of filming “The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus” when he passed away, leaving the production in limbo. Director Terry Gilliam was faced with the daunting task of figuring out how to complete the film without its leading man. That’s when Depp, Law, and Farrell stepped in to lend their talents and support.

    The three actors each portrayed different versions of Ledger’s character in the film, seamlessly weaving their performances together to create a fitting tribute to their friend and colleague. By donating their salaries to Matilda, they ensured that Ledger’s daughter would be taken care of in the wake of her father’s untimely death.

    This touching act of kindness and camaraderie serves as a reminder of the bonds that exist between actors in Hollywood, and the impact that one person can have on those around them. Ledger may be gone, but his legacy lives on through the love and support of his friends and colleagues.

    Instagram model Ashlyn chatted to his mum Denise, 56, and dad Mark, 48, in Real Madrid’s Wags and family box on Wednesday.

    The American even hugged Denise as Jude’s team ran out 5-1 winners against Salzburg in the Champions League.

    England superstar Jude and Ashlyn then went for lunch together the next day.

    Pals say they have been on several dates after they began liking each other’s social media posts.

    Jude was said to have been particularly drawn to one in November featuring pictures of Ashlyn in a low-cut dress laying on a bed.

    She is from Los Angeles where Jude and Three Lions team-mate Trent Alexander-Arnold went on holiday after the Euros in July.

    Ashlyn, who has 140,000 Instagram followers, was rumoured to have previously dated Creed actor Michael B Jordan and was linked with basketball player LaMelo Ball, 23.

    She suffered heartbreak in July 2021 when her dad died from Covid, aged 59. In a touching ­tribute, she described him as “superman to me”.

    Jude was crowned Britain’s most eligible bachelor by posh gossip magazine Tatler in October.

    It said: “For this midfielder, it’s all about the right or left swipe — and we aren’t talking about footwork. Rumours are swirling that he’s on celeb dating app Raya.”

    In April there was speculation that Jude had been dating model Laura Celia Valk, 26, who was said to be “completely smitten”. Last month she said she was single.

    In 2023 he was reportedly dating Ghanaian model Asantewa Chitty. He is also said to have dated US TikTok star Azra Mian.

     In 2023 The Sun revealed he had been ­messaging R&B singer Rmarni. Last night Jude’s agent and Real Madrid were approached for comment. The Sun also sought comment from Ashlyn.

  • Real Madrid player ratings vs Valencia: Jude Bellingham rescues loony Los Blancos! England star makes up for penalty miss with late winner after Vinicius Junior sees red card in chaotic clash against La Liga strugglers

    Real Madrid player ratings vs Valencia: Jude Bellingham rescues loony Los Blancos! England star makes up for penalty miss with late winner after Vinicius Junior sees red card in chaotic clash against La Liga strugglers


    Carlo Ancelotti’s side endured a baffling evening at Mestalla, but were rescued by some late magic by their star man.

    Real Madrid played out one of the more confusing football matches in recent La Liga history Friday night, missing a penalty, having Vinicius Jr sent off, but coming back from behind to snag a 2-1 win over Valencia.

    Los Blancos looked to have lost it after 85 minutes, but late goals from first Luka Modric, then Jude Bellingham saw them claw their way to a 2-1 victory.

    The home team were more adventurous in the first half, and forced Thibaut Courtois into a few tidy saves in the early goings. The Madrid keeper could do little about the opener, though, his instinctive save falling into the path of Hugo Duro, who couldn’t miss from less than five yards out. Los Blancos, for their part, created in moments, but were well denied by the active Stole Dimitrievski, who made three tidy saves in the first half.

    They had a clear chance to equalise after 53 minutes, when Kylian Mbappe was nudged over in the box – but Jude Bellingham’s penalty hit the post. Further disappointment followed after Mbappe put the ball in the net, only to see it waved off for offside. Vinicius Jr seemed to have ruined the evening after being baited into a silly shove of Dimitrievski – earning himself a soft but fair red card.

    But Madrid stayed alive, Luka Modric equalising off the bench with six minutes in normal time remaining. And they somehow found a winner soon after, Bellingham latching onto a horrific backpass before finishing calmly into the bottom corner to complete the unlikeliest of turnarounds.

    GOAL rates Real Madrid’s players from Mestalla…



    Real Madrid secured a hard-fought 2-1 victory against Valencia in a chaotic clash at the Mestalla, with Jude Bellingham rescuing the loony Los Blancos with a late winner.

    Here are the player ratings for Real Madrid:

    Thibaut Courtois – 7/10
    The Belgian shot-stopper made some crucial saves to keep Real Madrid in the game.

    Alvaro Odriozola – 6/10
    A solid performance from the full-back, who provided width going forward.

    Eder Militao – 6/10
    Militao put in a decent shift at the back, but struggled at times against Valencia’s attack.

    David Alaba – 7/10
    The versatile defender was solid in defense and provided composure on the ball.

    Ferland Mendy – 6/10
    Mendy had a quiet game but did his defensive duties well.

    Casemiro – 7/10
    The Brazilian midfielder worked tirelessly in midfield and helped break up Valencia’s attacks.

    Luka Modric – 8/10
    Modric was the creative force in midfield, pulling the strings and setting up chances for his teammates.

    Federico Valverde – 7/10
    Valverde put in a tireless shift in midfield, covering a lot of ground and winning the ball back.

    Vinicius Junior – 5/10
    The young winger had a night to forget, as he was sent off for a reckless challenge in the first half.

    Karim Benzema – 8/10
    Benzema was a constant threat up front, scoring Real Madrid’s first goal and linking up well with his teammates.

    Jude Bellingham – 9/10
    The England star was the hero for Real Madrid, making up for his penalty miss with a late winner to secure all three points for his team.

    Overall, it was a chaotic but ultimately successful night for Real Madrid, with Bellingham’s heroics rescuing them from a potential slip-up against La Liga strugglers Valencia.

    Real Madrid have kicked off their 2025 with an ever-tricky tie at Mestalla against Valencia, and just when it seemed things were turning their way, fortuned favoured the post. Jude Bellingham had a golden opportunity to equalise for Los Blancos, but could not do the business from 12 yards.

    Los Blancos have struggled with penalties of late, with Kylian Mbappe missing against both Liverpool and Athletic Club in the back end of 2024. He won this penalty, but as he did against Getafe, elected to pass the ball to a teammate, in this case Bellingham.

    The England star stepped up, stuttered, and found the inside of the post, but not the back of the net.

    Mbappe would have a goal disallowed just minutes later, from a Bellingham assist. He was ruled offside by the smallest of margins, negating a lovely finish. Los Blancos have it all to do still though, with less than half an hour on the clock.



    In a thrilling match between Real Madrid and Valencia, Jude Bellingham stole the spotlight with a missed penalty after a delayed run-up. The young midfielder, known for his composure on the pitch, shocked fans as he approached the ball with a stuttering run-up before sending his shot wide of the goal.

    Despite his mistake, Bellingham’s confidence and determination were evident throughout the match, and his missed penalty served as a reminder that even the best players can falter under pressure.

    NBA icons, including one punched by Michael Jordan, may be unlikely secret to spoiling Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappe’s party


    Everyone loves a ‘Cupset’ and it doesn’t get much bigger than knocking out the biggest club of all: Real Madrid.

    That’s the task awaiting Real Mallorca, a club that’s only in its fourth season back in LaLiga having fallen as low as the third tier of Spanish football in 2017.

    Mallorca may be seen as one of the lesser sides in Spain’s top flight, however, amid all the noise that constantly surrounds the Madrid clubs and Barcelona, the Balaeric Island team have been quietly and effectively going about their business.

    A first appearance at the Copa del Rey final since 2003 last term has been followed by an encouraging start to this season which sees them lie sixth in LaLiga.

    Few will give them a prayer of achieving Supercopa de Espana glory in Saudi Arabia, with a final date against Barcelona the likely outcome should Mallorca pull off a semi-final triumph against Los Blancos on 9 January.

    However, there’s a quiet confidence among those in the camp of Los Bermellones, and while they’re a team not typically associated with the big prizes in Spain, their ownership group know a thing or two about winning.

    “We have very special ownership,” Mallorca CEO Alfonso Diaz told talkSPORT.com.

    “They have this winning mentality, they know a lot about sports, they have been former sportsmen.

    “We have Andy Kohlberg who was a former tennis player, he is our main owner and president. We have Steve Nash, basketball legend and Hall of Famer.

    “We have Steve Kerr, nine times NBA champion, now the coach of the Golden State Warriors…

    “So all of them know what sports is about, they have this passion, they know that they have this long-term view and they have this winning mentality.

    “It’s really special to go with them day by day and every piece of advice that they are giving and the passion and the sport and the vision they have is amazing. I think that is the big part of the success of the club.”

    Nash and Kerr boast a plethora of honours from their playing careers, while the latter is making a name for himself in the coaching game with four NBA championships in charge of Warriors.

    No challenge intimidates Kerr in particular, who once infamously took a punch to the face from teammate Michael Jordan during an especially feisty Chicago Bulls training session in 1995, who has even played coach of the current crop of Mallorca stars.

    “They [the ownership group] fully understand when you lose games, they know because they have suffered this for a time and they know that you lose more than you win,” Diaz added.

    “And they have this passion and they give this advice and they understand that you need time to build all this base to continue growing.

    “So it’s day by day, I wouldn’t say one thing is special, but it’s day by day, all the conversations, small conversations, when they come and travel to Mallorca to visit the camp, when they are with the team, with the players.

    “Steve Kerr came this summer and the speech he did for the players was amazing.”

    Mallorca have already put Real Madrid through their paces this season, earning a 1-1 draw against them in a league match in August

    “[Kerr said] Every player in the team is important, that everybody has their own role in the team, no matter if you are playing or not.

    “It was important because in the case of Steve Kerr, it happened to him. He was not in the starting five and he was with Michael Jordan, close to him day by day. He told us how he was, his career and everything he faced and the difficulties he had.

    “And all these point of views and what he lived in the past. For the players, it’s really important to understand and to listen to someone like him.”

    “It’s a mix of everything we are talking now. It’s the winning mentality that the player has, the locker room culture of working hard and never giving up,” Diaz added.

    “Those things seem to be very common that everybody can use, but this is really happening in our club. And then having a plan, work with, we are a few people staffing on the business side, on the sport side, but young people, very talented.

    “And with this also winning mentality on and off the pitch. And this is what is making us try to be different.

    “And also working a lot on our brand, brand awareness, be international. Our island is very international.

    “So it’s giving us a something different in comparison with other clubs. And also the way we approach to our sponsors, to our fan base when we renovate the stadium, the different way of thinking when we renovate the stadium.

    “So trying to find new revenue streams. So all these things make us, I think, a little bit different and make us, well, be there in La Liga and try to be a different club in La Liga also.”



    NBA icons, including one punched by Michael Jordan, may be unlikely secret to spoiling Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappe’s party

    In a surprising turn of events, it seems that NBA icons could hold the key to spoiling the party for young football stars Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappe. And the unlikely link between the two? None other than Michael Jordan.

    While Jordan may be known for his basketball prowess, many may not be aware that he once punched former NBA player Steve Kerr during a practice session. This act of aggression and competitiveness could serve as a lesson for Bellingham and Mbappe, who are both rising stars in the world of football.

    By channeling Jordan’s fierce determination and drive to win, perhaps Bellingham and Mbappe can find the edge they need to outshine their opponents and secure victory on the pitch. After all, as Jordan famously said, “I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can’t accept not trying.”

    So, as these young football phenoms continue to make a name for themselves in the sport, perhaps they can look to the NBA icons who came before them for inspiration and guidance. Who knows, maybe a little bit of Jordan’s competitive spirit is all it takes to spoil the party for Bellingham and Mbappe’s opponents.
