Hollywood actor Johnny Depp has made a touching tribute to the late Heath Ledger, by naming a beautiful snorkelling spot on his private tropical island after the Perth-born star.

Depp, along with actors Jude Law and Colin Farrell stepped in to help finish Ledger’s last film, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, after Ledger died before finishing the film. The three donated their earnings from the movie which has been deemed kooky and crazy by critics to Ledger’s daughter Matilda.

In the July issue of Vanity Fair, Depp reveals he has named a snorkelling cove on the 45 acre Caribbean island called Little Hall’s Pond Cay, Heath’s Place.

Other beaches on the island are named after the Pirates of the Caribbean star’s partner Vanessa Paradis, his children and his mentors Marlon Brando and Hunter S. Thompson.

The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus premiered at the recent Cannes festival.
