Johnny Depp has named a beach after Heath Ledger. The "Pirates of the Caribbean" actor owns a private island - called Little Hall's Pond Cay - in the Bahamas and has paid tribute to the late Hollywood star by naming a stretch of sand Heath's Place.
The "Dark Knight" actor died aged just 28 of an accidental prescription drugs overdose in January 2008.
Depp was a close friend of Ledger's and stepped in to help finish his final movie "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus," after Ledger died part-way through filming.
Depp has also named a beach on the 45-acre idyllic island after his partner Vanessa Paradis and their two children - 10-year-old daughter Lily-Rose and son Jack, seven.
The 46-year-old star recently revealed he escapes to the Bahamas to feed sharks when the pressures of fame are getting too much.
Depp said: "Whenever I was getting frustrated about being 'novelty boy' and making movies, I told myself, 'Calm down.' I can come down here and disappear. I spent the Christmas season here with Vanessa and the kids. You can feed hot dogs to the nurse sharks in the Exumas (the Bahamas Out Islands) - but it's best to not swim when doing it!"
