I... I really liked Heath Ledger. Seriously. I felt... I dunno... somehow close to him, in an odd way. I mean, he's not like a Ewan, Ritchie or Tom to me (thank goodness), but even though I'd never even met him, I still admired, respected and liked him very much.
I guess it's because not a lot of Australian actors make it big (and still end up having me like them, lol)... I guess I kinda cling to the ones I do like (Nicole and Huge).
And he was meant to start production on the Terry Gilliam film soon too... :( reports are saying he wasn't done on Batman: The Dark Knight yet either... but I suspect he was.
Heath Ledger made me laugh, he made me cry, he was bloody good at his job, and I will absolutely miss him terribly.
He's making me cry just writing this.
I think the common opinion is that he took sleeping pills and overdosed... if that's correct... I can't imagine being absolutely just THAT desperate.
I'm so, so sorry, Heath.
What kind of pain must you have been in to do that?
My thoughts are with his family; especially his daughter Matlida.
Peace,
Rotae
