Michelle Williams, Naomi Watts Tribute to Heath Ledger

Michelle Williams and Heath Ledger’s 2-year-old daughter, Matilda.

Michelle Williams is speaking out about her beloved Heath Ledger in the April issue of Interview magazine after a long silence.

This is what she said in the interview.
“I think the interesting thing about Heath, which maybe people have only really fully discovered in his death, is how vulnerable he was. 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,” she adds. “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.”

“For as long as I’d known him, he had bouts with insomnia,” she says. “He had too much energy. His mind was turning, turning turning — always turning.”

Naomi Watts who is Ledger’s ex-girlfriend also speaks about the deceased actor on the mag.

“I think he wanted to be someone who was doing the observing — not the one being observed. He hated not being able to go about his life in an ordinary way. But I think that, deep down, he enjoyed that he was being recognized for his talent. I think he was starting to own that and that’s the deepest tragedy, in terms of his work. He was just beginning to own it and embrace it.”

“He was a huge, obsessive, chess freak – and very, very good at it.”

Some of Heath Ledger’s other close industry friends also share fond memories of the late actor in the same issue of the magazine.

Ellen DeGeneres: “He didn’t try to be something that he wasn’t. And I appreciated that.”

Phillip Seymour Hoffman: “Whenever Heath talked about something he liked, he did it in the way that any fan would. He wasn’t somebody trying to cover up his excitement about something, or someone.”

Todd Haynes: “That performance in Brokeback Mountain was such a sensitive, understated, controlled interpretation of this character. The entire emotional power of that film, which is enormous, resides in that performance, and how much Heath holds in.”

Rest in Peace.
