We all swooned during Heath Ledger's performance in "10 Things I Hate About You." He melted our hearts in "A Knight's Tale," and scared us senseless in "The Dark Knight." In honor of this legendary, beautiful and talented man, I have compiled a list to help us all define our love for him.

1. He would take you seriously.

We all want a guy who will take us seriously and values our opinion. Heath may not be his usual dreamboat self in this example, but at least he values your thoughts!

2. He rocked the long hairstyle.

Not many men can pull off having shoulder length and curly hair. Heath defies possibility and exceeds expectations.

3. He was versatile. (Blonde and brunette!)

Heath rocks both brown and golden locks throughout his life, and he does both so oh-so perfectly.

4. He had a soft side.

For those of you who haven’t seen Heath in "A Knight's Tale," I highly suggest you change that if you want to see Heath’s ooey-gooey romantic side.

5. But he was risky, too.

Because we all like a little risk in our lives.

6. He was probably an awesome kisser.

7. He would dance for your love like a complete gentleman.

I think we’re all very jealous of Julia Stiles in this movie.

8. His accent was absolutely incredible.

So you can’t exactly hear him, but his smile says it all, “I’m hot and I sort of know it.”

9. That smile.

Speaking of that smile… tell me your heart doesn’t melt when you see this

10. He was an amazing actor, and moved all of us.

“Too much awesomeness for one body to handle.”

RIP. We miss you, Heath!
