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.

1. Public Enemies
Johnny Depp. Michael Mann. Christian Bale. The question is why you’re still here reading this instead of booking tickets for Public Enemies, the Mann film that casts Depp as legendary 1930s gangster John Dillinger and Bale as Melvin Purvis, the FBI agent assigned to track him down. We talked to the filmmakers (including Oscar-winner Marion Cotillard) to get the full story on the film’s history – which goes back to a script Mann wrote in the 1970s) and see what we can expect from this latest Mann opus. Also, Kim Newman lays out the 20 Greatest Gangster Movies You’ve Probably Never Seen.

PUBLIC ENEMIES

Johnny Depp and Christian Bale. If those two names alone don’t get you running to the theater, then consider the following: This biopic of bank robber John Dillinger (Depp) was directed by Heat’s Michael Mann and co-stars Oscar-winner Marion Cotillard (La Vie en Rose). Missing it would be a crime.
