How old was Heath Ledger in Blackrock?

You might be surprised to learn how young—or old—some stars were in iconic scenes. It reveals something about timing, talent, and opportunity. Let’s take a closer look at that intriguing number.

While Blackrock was being made, Heath Ledger was:

17 years old

That number reflects the celebrity’s real age when the movie was made.

The shown age corresponds to the celebrity’s age at the very start of the release year of Blackrock:

January 1, 1997

And the date of birth of Heath Ledger, that is:

April 04, 1979

Because filming and release dates are relatively close but not the same, the real age of Heath Ledger during production might differ by a year from the one displayed.
