Heath Ledger’s last girlfriend Gemma Ward, speaks out
Heath Ledger’s last girlfriend Gemma Ward has paid tribute to the late actor in her first interview since his death in January. The Australian model credits Ledger with helping her discover acting, and describes how he always “operated from the heart”.
Ward tells the Sydney Morning Herald, “He really, really knew that if he was going to make a decision to be in a film, then he needed to be really committed to it. He operated from heart. He wasn’t afraid to fight with people, he wasn’t afraid to p**s people off. He told me to always be a punk and stand up for yourself.”
Ledger was found dead in his New York apartment on January 22nd after suffering an accidental drug overdose.

She’s beautiful and at the same time goofy. No wonder Heath fell for her.

You guys are bitches. The reason she’s gone “downhill” is the eyes of the fashion industry, even though she has a healthy body weight, is because her boyfriend died. That’s obviously traumatic to any normal human. She stopped focusing on managing her weight, and more on grieving.
