Patrick Verona, our first bad boy crush.

It's been almost nine years since we had to say goodbye to the brilliant Heath Ledger. Heath's career and filmography is jam packed with incredible, thought provoking and powerful performances but there's one that stands out. Remember Patrick Verona from '10 Things I Hate About You?' Of course you do, let's all just take a moment to reminisce... 
 

First of all, we need to talk about this smile.
