Jude Law has revealed he was honoured to finish Heath Ledger’s last film role in The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus.

Sherlock Holmes actor Law stepped in alongside Johnny Depp and Colin Farrell to complete Ledger’s final film, after the actor died from an accidental overdose of prescription drugs in January 2008.

The 36-year-old revealed: “I liked Heath very much as a man and admired him as an actor. To help finish his final piece of work was a tribute I felt compelled to make.”

Speaking in an interview with an American magazine, he added: “Though we were all there in remembrance, Heath’s heart pushed us with great lightness to the finish.”
