Michelle Williams recollects on her ex, Heath Ledger, in the April issue of Interview.
“I think the interesting thing about Heath, which maybe people have only really fully discovered in his death, is how vulnerable he was,” she says of the actor, who died of a prescription drug overdose in NYC in January.
“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.”
Williams, 27, also talks about Ledger’s 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.”
Williams — who has a daughter, Matilda, 2, with Ledger — adds, “He had a talent for everything that he put his mind to. He didn’t know limits."
