Michelle on Heath
Filed under: Naomi Watts > Australiastic > Heath Ledger > Michelle Williams
Michelle Williams is breaking her silence about the untimely death of her beloved Heath Ledger.
The actress is speaking out in the new issue of Interview magazine. This is the first time she's talked publicly about Ledger since releasing a statement on February 1st.
Says Williams, "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."
Michelle also touches on Ledger’s history of sleeping issues.
“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.”
Ledger's ex-girlfriend, fellow Australian Naomi Watts, also chats to the mag about the deceased star.
Says Watts, "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."
Adding some color, she says, "He was a huge, obsessive, chess freak – and very, very good at it."

It was suicide - he was fucking his little kid and couldn't deal with it
perez you are such a PHONY - now you're trying to ACT like you have a SOCIAL CONSCIENCE - IT'S WAY TOO LATE FOR YOU TO EARN RESPECT -you're just trying to improve your image to be a GAY OPRAH with a TV Show, magizine & music review. SO FAKE - YOU HAVE TRASHED PEEPS FOR WAY TOO LONG TO THINK ANYONE WILL FALL FOR YOUR BS NOW - YOU"RE JUST ANOTHER ORANGE OPRAH - SUCKING OFF WHOEVER YOU WANT TO USE.
heathbar you are a jerk…. RIP Heath….
PEREZ IS A FAT-ASS ANAL MUNCH. ANY GUY WHO TAKES DICK IN THE ASS SHOULD BE PUT IN PRISON. IT'D BE LIKE A LIFETIME VACATION, RIGHT? HOMOSEXUALITY SHOULD BE BANNED IN THE UNITED STATES!!! GOD IS ON OUR SIDE, RIGHT? ALL THE FAGS ARE GETTING AIDS… GO HIV!!!!!!!!!!
you know now that i think about it i highly doubt perez has ever had a boyfriend. i doubt he/she has ever been laid even. you would think that with his notoriety someone from his past would pop up for their 15 minutes of "fame" by now. but nobody has. why? its cuz hes fat and ugly not only on the outside but also inside. what do you guys think? is perez the fatty boom batty a gay virgin? ROFLROFLROFLROFLROFL
IS CASTRO DEAD YET PEREZ? YOU STORY STEALING HOMO
It's too bad for his family. It's good that they have the movies that he made to show his daughter.
who cares about this?
Re: PEREZ IS FUCKING STUPID – wow, does being ignorant make it easier for you to look at yourself?
Love Michelle!
she is a great and strong woman….
and she is still in love with heath
=(
I would commit suicide too if my claim to fame was as the star of "broke back mountain"!
Re: fuckmehard – have some respect yeah? your mam never teach you not to speak ill of t'dead?
RIP Heath :]
I don't usually agree with Perez's ways, but he was totally right in his coverage of Heath's death. Too many other outlets wanted to white wash his life and death. Why should he get a free pass? Most probably due to his drug problems, he fucked over his kid by not updating his will to include her.

Does anyone know why Heath and Michelle broke up? It just seems like whenever Michelle talks about him she sounds like she still loves him…I'm just curious if their breakup was related to Heath's drug use.
14 - PEREZ IS FUCKING STUPID You have just proven to the world that 1. You are ignorant. 2. Your parents faild to raise you right. Remember hate breeds hate, so you must have one miserable life. Best of luck to you!

It's so sad that this had to happen to such a talented person. Heath was amazing R.I.P.
How refreshing. Two Hollywood actresses showing some class….as opposed to…well you all know.
Still can't believe he's dead….
HE PROBABLY KILLED HIMSELF WHEN HE STOPPED DOING DRUGS AND REALIZED THAT HE HAD BEEN IN A DISGUSTING MOVIE ABOUT GAY COWBOYS
Re: Laurel – exactly…very nice
this is what homosexuality led to–heaths death. that is why homosexuality is against all the religions.do not be a homosexual or you might end up like heath
Some of you are such losers
Rest in peace Heath x
Just further evidence of a tragic loss. I hope Michelle and his family find comfort in his memories.
#1…..Your immature and ignorant.
That is sweet. I wish he could have taught me how to play chess.
Homos burn in hell so you can all go to Muslim Heaven and work off your sins.
It is never more evident that evil exists then when reading some of these malicious and hateful comments. Has no one ever taught you to use your words and to speak with heart? Some of these things not only being said in the memory of a man who died way to early but also being said of a person sexual orientation are deplorable at best. I am frightened at the thought that people who have these dark hearts have a way of spewing their self hate. You lack of compassion is a clear representation of your own character and my heart will always break for those who never knew how to be kind and compassionate.
If you hate perez than don’t read it and if you hated heath scroll by it. No one cares to hear hateful words.
Rest in peace Heath, you'll always be missed. Wishing all the love & strength in the world to Matilda, Michelle, Naomi, and all his family & friends.

Some of the people commenting their shit here really are such losers…if u dont like Heath or Perez, why r u fuckin commenting? Or even on the damn site? GET A LIFE.
Ignore these jackasses, Perez, keep up ure shizzle
Although Michelle Williams is young and in the business she is wise beyond her her years..(ya gotta credit her parents for that)
What a class act…others could take a page from her book…
God Bless Michelle, Matilda and the Ledger families
Re: rachel – I so much agree with you!! RIP Heath! We will miss you!!
Maggie - I love you the way you are. Don't change. And I am really sorry I cummed in your mouth.
Below is how we know the DEVIL does wear many faces. You all should take the time and find God or something to believe in otherwise most certainly be the ones burning in hell. I would hate to be a ignorant human being in this day and age but that what you all are.

Re: Rufus…… You are an idiot!
that's all we get?? that he was an insomniac?? i want more on heath ledger! like why did he & michelle break up??
good god..enough of this….who the hell cares anymore about this guy, much less anything about his ex. He died…he is gone, now move on
Maggie - I knows Maggie. I jes timed dit wrong. Please lets us tries it again!!
Re #48 - nicunicu2002 says
Obviously you care, otherwise why stop to even write a comment.
Re: Rufus
I dont like small dicks so I will have to pass.
Refus I dont like small dicks so no thank you.
Maggie - You wills likes it more whens yous gets to puberty.
Perez.. why don't you do something about some of the vile posts here.. how un responsible of you SERIOUS
"he was so physical and beautiful and strong and masculine" So sad you can tell she still loved him deeply. And why all these comments about homosexuality? He was acting the part of a gay man HE WAS NOT GAY. Why is everyone assuming that this movie was promoting homosexuality? I would think some would look at the movie and see that it shows how hard it still is to be gay in todays world and what a person can lose. One character lost his wife and family and the other lost his life. I truely saw a great talent in Heathe and I am glad his work will live on.
Great quotes! There are more, for example from Todd Haynes, Ellen DeGeneres, Phillip Seymour Hoffman etc… I'm looking forward to read them all.
How come no one has mentioned that a side effect of opiate and other precription med addiction is severe insomnia?? That's probably why Heath could never sleep. The pills weren't helping the insomnia they were creating the insomnia. I'm speaking from personal experience. I had no idea why I couldn't sleep….I even took part in a sleep study. Turns out it was all the pain meds I took. Now that I'm clean, I sleep like a baby.
I hate that he's dead, I just hate it.
Re: nicunicu2002 – I hope you die soon so we can forget about you too.
It's between them why it didn't work out but Michelle was still in love with him for sure.
I feel badly for her (& Matilda's) loss…
Life is for the living and memories will never fade.
I adored Heath. It's good to read about what his loved ones say. To learn more about the person he was. He seems like a good person, a sweet man. Also nice that they talk about him in natural, nice human terms and not as some celebrity who had a scandalous life the way so many do. Clearly, Michelle, Naomi, and his many friends really love him still. As so many of us do.
I think what she was trying to say in a nice way was that Heath was really insecure. Well obviuosly if he felt the need to do drugs to have a good time. Especialy if he was hangin out with the olsens. God I just cant get over the fact that they were bangin'!! EWWWWWWW. The olsen twins are so frigen out there. They really are just trash with money. Neither one of them really has any talent and they know it, and that is why they are such partiers. They don't have anything better to do. What a shame and a wast though. He could have done BETTER THan that. It seems to me that Michelle williams was or is relieved that she doesn't have to deal with Heath and his lifestyle or his ways anymore. Can you blame her???????NO!!
Good god is 1908? WTF is up with all the homophobes and holy rollers? Screw your god, if 'he' didn't like gay men 'he' wouldn't have created them. I don't hear you talking about lesbains like that….
Sad thing that he is gone,
yet no one cared that much for Anna Nicole Smith..
michelle is great! i love her as an actress. i hope she gets more movie
What did your parents tell you about speaking ill of the dead?
I guess nothing. What a classless bunch of lowlifes you all are.
One, his sleeping issues were most likely caused by his addictions. The drugs he favored are highly addictive and he would go into withdraw every 5-11 hours. Two, he didn't even bother to re-do his will to include his child. Appears he was more obsessed with getting high and getting nooky instead of obsessed with being a good parent.
Can these Hollyweird types just be normal people? The Mother of his child is agreeing to talk about Heath in a magazine to get her name out there for her career if you ask me, come on think about it who asked her to do a magazine article before Heath died and now she's milking his death and hopefully she'll realize what shes doing and close her pie hole the stupied opportunic witch.
Its so sad when such good looking guys die..
perez u shld fix that link
How can anyone be glad someone is dead? You are an evil, hateful little piece of shit, #1.
Re: KKK – go suck a cock then when u want to grow up come back if not then go rot in hell.
SO TACKY TO HAVE COMMENTS FROM NAOMI WATTS IN THE SAME ARTICLE AS MICHELLE'S!!!
AND AS FOR THE PERSON THAT COMMENTED FIRST "HEATHBAR" …WOW YOU ARE A SAD SAD SAD EXCUSE FOR A HUMAN BEING!!!!!
SOME OF THE PEOPLE COMMENTING ON HERE SHOW HOW INSANE AND IN PAIN SOME PEOPLE ARE!!! GET HELP IF YOU ARE A HATER!!!
I still tear up every time I read something about Heath. Can't believe he is actually gone, such a tragic loss of a young life…at least he's in a better place now.
He died?
