Actor pays tribute to his Batman co-star
Saturday, 9 August 2008
Sir Michael Caine says it was a pleasure to work with Heath Ledger on The Dark Knight.
The veteran actor, 75, heaped praise on the Australian star who died of a prescription drugs overdose in January at the age of 28.
‘What a talent,’ he tells Hello! ‘We’d sit on set, chatting for hours. Then he’d get up, drop being Heath, and go into this amazing performance.
‘I shall miss him – very much. And it was a privilege working with him, you can’t say that of some actors out there, believe me.’
The Dark Knight has broken box office records, taking £77.7million in its opening weekend.
And Heath’s portrayal of The Joker is being hailed as Oscar-worthy.

I'd heard the comments about Heath, saying what a fabulous actor he was. It's always the same when someone dies, "oh they were great etc". The man took my breath away in The Dark Knight. He made that film and yes I take it all back.....HE WAS GREAT.
Ledger was brilliant but this says as much about Caine as about Ledger. Class act and a consummate professional all the way.
