Water Pistol Attack Left Ledger in Tears (The Actor becomes the character)
IMDB news ^ | today | staff

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.

Could be his manstruation cycle that has him all bunched up. Some guys get that, I hear. : )

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.

Already done.

Dad to Heath: Go ahead and cry son, you are just like me, just the way I brought you up. Others will call you a wuss and a pussy but you are a sensitive Liberal and that is what counts."

Wow, that is one wicked looking cat. For that mama jama, I recommend the Flush and Fluff method.

1. Thoroughly clean the toilet.

2. Add the required amount of shampoo to the toilet water, and have both lids lifted.

3. Obtain the cat and soothe him while you carry him towards the bathroom.

4. In one smooth movement, put the cat in the toilet and close both lids (you may need to stand on the lid so that he cannot escape).

CAUTION: Do not get any part of your body too close to the edge, as his paws will be reaching out for any purchase they can find.

5. Flush the toilet three or four times. This provides a 'power wash and rinse' which I have found to be quite effective.

6. Have someone open the door to the outside and ensure that there are no people between the toilet and the outside door.

7. Stand behind the toilet as far as you can, and quickly lift both lids.

8. The now-clean cat will rocket out of the toilet, and run outside where he will dry himself.

Sincerely,

The Dog

Yeah, that really makes Ledger look bad. Cruise stood up for himself.

Geez, it was water. He's got a ton of cash, at the very least he should have gone out and bought the biggest water cannon he could find and get them back. But for Pete's sake, don't cry.

I happened to turn on the TV one day & saw him dancing with another man in a movie [click!]. I wonder what it is that keeps attracting him to gay roles. As for me, I won't watch any more of his movies.

I forgot to say why. I'm tired of the in-your-face homosexual agenda.

Did he just think Brokeback was just another movie?

What a puss.

Really. I guess he wasn't acting in Brokeback.
