Heath Ledger’s daughter Matilda rarely appears in public – but now the 18-year-old has been spotted with her mother Michelle Williams.
Matilda Ledger was just two years old when her father Heath Ledger died in 2008 at the age of 28. Despite her famous father, who was posthumously awarded an Oscar for his portrayal of the Joker, the now 18-year-old grew up away from the limelight. Public appearances are rare. However, pictures now show Ledger together with her mother Michelle Williams.
The photos were taken on July 31st in New York City. Matilda and her mother are walking hand in hand through the streets of the American metropolis. The mother-daughter duo have obviously treated themselves to a beauty day, as further photos show the two waiting in a nail salon.
One detail stood out in the pictures: Many people noticed a striking resemblance between Matilda and Heath Ledger. “My goodness, she looks exactly like him!” reads one comment. Another person wrote: “Wow, Heath’s mini-me!” They also read: “She has 98 percent of her father.”
Many fans recognized one visual feature in particular: “She has her father’s eyes.” Another of many users also noted this: “The eyes. Like looking into Heath’s.”
Matilda Ledger was born in 2005, shortly after Heath Ledger met his acting colleague Michelle Williams on the set of the film “Brokeback Mountain”. The couple separated in 2007, and a few months later the Hollywood star died of an accidental overdose.
The 18-year-old inherited her father’s entire fortune. “Our family gave everything to Matilda,” Heath Ledger’s father Kim once explained to People magazine. “That was the plan from the moment my boy died. There was never any question that his estate would go to Matilda. We are very close to Michelle and Matilda.”
