Michelle Williams Speaks About 'Vulnerable' Heath Ledger

Michelle Williams has paid tribute to her late ex-fiancee Heath Ledger, describing him as “physical, beautiful, strong and masculine”.

The mother of Ledger’s two-year old daughter Matilda Rose spoke to Interview magazine about the Brokeback Mountain actor, explaining what a vulnerable person he was.

She said: "He had an uncontrollable energy. He buzzed. He would jump out of bed.

"For as long as I'd known him, he had bouts with insomnia. He just had too much energy. His mind was turning, turning, turning - always turning.

"He had a talent for everything that he put his mind to. He didn't know limits.

"I think that the interesting thing about Heath, which maybe people have only really fully discovered in his death, his how vulnerable he was.

"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."

Ledger was found dead in January after suffering a fatal overdose of prescription drugs.
