Michelle Williams: Heath Was "Vulnerable"
Michelle Williams and Heath Ledger by Serge Thomann/WireImage.com
Michelle Williams and others are beginning to open up about how they remember
Heath Ledger - as a friend, partner and colleague.
In the April issue of
Interview, Williams divulges how she views Ledger, and acknowledges that it's just now that some are seeing him the same way. "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 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."
Among the others offering their thoughts on the late actor's life is
Naomi Watts, who recalls Ledger as "a huge, obsessive, chess freak - and very, very good at it."
Philip Seymour Hoffman reinforced that point, saying, "Whenever Heath talked about something he liked... he wasn't somebody trying to cover up his excitement."
Finally, it seems, stars are speaking to how I, as a spectator only, saw Ledger. Do you agree with them?
