Michelle Williams, Naomi Watts open up on Heath Ledger
March 24th, 2008 admin Posted in News |
MICHELLE Williams and Naomi Watts have spoken out about the death of their former lover Heath Ledger - the first time either has addressed the tragedy beyond a brief statement.
America’s Interview magazine is running an interview with each of the actresses, both of whom had lengthy relationships with the Australian movie star.
Williams - the mother of Ledger’s daughter Matilda - talks candidly about the “vulnerable” actor, who died after an accidental overdose of prescription drugs earlier this year.
“I think the interesting thing about Heath, which maybe people have only really fully discovered in his death, is how vulnerable he was,” she says.
“You can pick it up on it in his performances, but it’s easy to overlook because he was so physical and beautiful and strong and masculine.
“But there was always that underlying sensitivity. That’s who he was. He had a talent for everything that he put his mind to. He didn’t know limits.”
In the interview - the first time Williams has talked publicly about Ledger since releasing a statement on February 1- she also discussses Ledger’s history of sleeping issues.
