Heath Ledger burst into tears after paparazzi attacked him with water pistols at the Australian premiere of Brokeback Mountain in Sydney earlier this year, according to his father. The actor's relationship with the Australian press soured during filming for new movie Candy, and the paparazzi decided to have the last word at the January premiere of his Oscar-nominated film. Ledger's father Kim tells the Sydney Daily Telegraph newspaper his heart was broken when his son called just hours after the run-in, saying he wanted to sell his waterfront home in Sydney and move to the US permanently. He says, "Heath had to go into the cinema and introduce that film soaking wet. He cried all night. He rang me and said, 'Dad, that's it - sell the house.'" Ledger's father urged his son to think it over for 48 hours before making a final decision. He says, "Two days later he rang me back and said, 'Dad, it's been 47 hours and 57 minutes - sell the house.'" The luxury property was sold for Aus $7 million ($5 million) in March after Ledger relocated to Brooklyn, New York City, with his partner Michelle Williams and their daughter Matilda.
ROTFLMAO That is so bad
I wonder if he really slapped Frank Sinatra.
Please, stay in Australia. We've got enough sissy boys here already.
Ah, a fine italian word they've been using on the Sopranos lately, in regard to Gay Vito. Actually they've been using "finnook", or as Phil Leotardo put it, "finnoik." The word refers to the herb "fennel", and for some reason has meant what you think it means since time immemorial in Italian.
OK, Tom Cruise got squirted in the face before what was it, MI2? He acted like a pansy. Ahnuld got hit viss ahn egg during a campaign stop. What did he do? He ripped off his soiled jacket, handed it to an aide, and kept on going. I really admired that.
No comment... Nope... Not going there! ;-P
"What a puss."
just what I was thinking. Way too sensitive for a man. I would have been looking to punch some lights out.
Oh, hell, it's just WATER! Bill Gates took a pie to the face like a man.
If the Super Soaker gangs could figure out how to chill the water in those guns, people here in 92-degree Houston would pay to be super-soaked.
It's water from down under. Ick.
Fromunda water! Ugh!
Houston, AKA Habitat for Humidity.
I'll make NO other comments on the matter.
So now we know why he was crying. Someone hits you with a blast of fromunda water, you'd cry too.
He cried all night??? Bwaa-ha-ha-ha!
Oh, hell yeah! I take it back. He's not a puss - he's just sanitary.
Fromunda ping!
I think he was enjoying it in the first picture, then reeled away once he realized it was just water.
