10 Awesome Things Actors Have Done While In Costume

5. Heath Ledger Skateboarding While Dressed As The Joker

Contrary to the many rumors online about him being mentally distressed and distant, Heath Ledger was in surprisingly good spirits during the filming Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight. A few years ago, a photo of Heath Ledger as the Joker doing a kickflip on his skateboard over Christian Bale's Batman made its rounds on the internet. Sadly, the photo was fake (pretty obviously so). However Ledger apparently did spend a lot of time on set riding his skateboard between takes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0-Skvzil8k There is just something about the idea of the Joker doing an inward heelflip or a nosegrind that makes everything seem alright in the world. It gives an all new meaning to the infamous phrase "why so serious?". Sadly no image of his skateboarding exploits exists, or else it would definitely be our screensaver.
