Touching Tribute
Filed under: Heath Ledger > Colin Farrell > Jude Law
This brought a tear to our eye and softened our callous heart!
According to the UK's The Sun, the three Hollywood stars who completed Heath Ledger's final film role have donated their pay to his two-year-old daughter, Matilda.
Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell were worried for Matilda’s future as Heath left an old will which did not include the little one.
Heath's dad, Kim Ledger, is in control of Heath's estate. Family members have said they're concerned that daddy will mismanage the actor's money.
The three played versions of Heath's character, Tim, in fantasy epic The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus.
Film director Terry Gilliam said, “They didn’t take money — it goes to Heath’s daughter. That’s extraordinary! And wonderful . . . and when you’re part of that, you think, ‘Ah, this is maybe why I went into the movies in the beginning. I thought it would be full of wonderful people. And we’ve got a movie full of wonderful people who did extraordinary things to help.”
Johnny Depp is a father of two, Jude Law has four and Colin Farrel has a son.
We love it. Dads looking out for one another!

What real men, real fathers and real friends do.

awww. thats so nice.
thats good to see.
i hope thats not an iced coffee shes drinking lol
Wow. That is so incredibly generous. I'll definitely be seeing that movie.

Re: Veronica Corningstone – Jude Law is sooo hot and sexy!!
Wow next thing you know Angelina will be offering to adopt her…
It's not like her mom is poor…they should donate to kids that really need that money or pehaps toward education of using perscription drugs as bedtime snacks…
OMG…….that is the sweetest thing! Love these actors even more.
nice story, but about a week old.
Hollywood has a
Re: vintagebitch – lmao!ME 2
Wow that is wonderful. I hope Matilda will be well provided for.
That is so beautiful. It seriously brought tears to my eyes. My son lost his father last year. It is so amazing that there are good people out there who would think of her, a little girl without a Daddy, before themselves. Awesome
That's a lovely thing to do.
Nice one guys.
Had to wipe a few tears away with that one! It does take a village! Love Johnny! Jude has always been beautiful to watch and now I have something nice to say about Colin Farrell. Amazing!
Not that it matters because we all know it's going to be A LOT… but how much are they giving her?
Wow. That's amazing. I could only imagine how hard it is to raise a child on your own. That's so generous that Johnny, Jude, and Colin have recognized that and are looking out for Matilda. I'm sure that Michelle is thankful for the thoughtfulness of the guys.
Its a lovely sentiment, it really is, BUT it does make me question how needy this girl really is, I mean its not like her mother hasn't won an oscar or anything. Something tells me she won't be lacking for cheerios with or without the hollywood donations.
Total class.
Great post.
They rock! Mostly Johnny
That is really sweet! what lovely guys! Sexy and generous!! Matilda is going to be such a gorgeous girl when she grows up
Thats So Sweet of them!
aww i love it!
What's so difficult for his father, look into the acoounts, call the bank and leave it to a trustfund ?
I really like the thought and praise their good hearts, but I do hope they worry for nothing…
What a classy move by all of them!
that is so touching.
awww–that is so touching–who knew all the hottest guys of hollywoods are also the sweetest ones too!!
hellooo?!?!? michelle williams is a working actor with over 30 credits to her career so far. she makes PLENTY of money! her little girl was never going to live in anything even close to poverty. the money would have been better spent on someone who needs it rather than some little rich girl who lives in a $2 million dollar house in new york city with her rich and famous mom.
Aww that's sweet.
Does Colin Farrell only have one child? Wasn't his girlfriend Muireann McDonnell pregnant? Is he still with her?

What is wrong with Heath's father? What a selfish man. It's very nice that the 3 actors are giving Matilda their salary.
Little Matilda always seems so sad,she`s missing her daddy so much.But what a nice thing Johnny,Jude an Colin did.
FINALLY you post a story WORTH READING
Best thing I've read all day.
This was a great story!! Way to go guys.
I have goosebumps! Heath is smiling down right now!
Awww how sweet!!!!!!!!!! Good men!! I wonder how much she's getting. I'm sure its plenty plenty plenty.. 3 big stars! Good for her!
