ranchgal:
HLC just put up a really nice interview from Toronto--with an interviewer from UK.
He talks a little bit about Batman, and mostly about researching for Candy. He looks so good.
serious crayons:
I wonder what the picture on his T-shirt is about. In the first photo, it looks like a silhouette of Michelle.

some stuff from the Casanova interview:
Q: Is it possible to say which of the three films you have here in Venice you preferred?
Heath Ledge: Well, they were all important for me (laughs). I mean obviously Brokeback Mountain was an obstacle I felt I could never climb, I could never defeat, that it was too tough but ultimately decided to do it. And with that I came out with a real sense of accomplishment which was something that I lacked in the movies that I’ve done before, I’d never felt that I’m accomplished anything. But then in both Brothers Grimm and Casanova there was a lot to enjoy. Brothers Grimm was the first time I’ve been let loose and use my kind of frantic energy and twitching and nervousness and clumsiness and Terry Gilliam is very good at allowing you to do that. He sets you free and creates an environment where you can feel safe enough to be bad – he lets you be bad and he lets you be big, which is fun. And with Lasse on Casanova he created such a lovely atmosphere on the set, with such a great group of people, cast and crew, that it really helped the film.
Q: You have a tattoo on your right arm which reads ‘Old Man River’ What does that mean?
Heath Ledge: It’s got a few meanings, they all have many meanings, and I usually get tattoos when I need to be reminded of something but the answer I’ll give you (laughs) is that it has nothing to do with the song, I just felt there was something eternal about the phrase and I feel that I’m at a stage in my life now where life is just about to really speed up and flash by and so I feel like I am on old man river paddling on a little row boat. That’s my answer for today (laughs). This one (points to left forearm) Is my sisters and my mum, Cate, Ashley, Olvia and Sally – yes ‘chaos’ or Sony when it’s upside down which I discovered when it was too late (laughs). and thought ‘oh great..’
Q: How do you feel about being suddenly acclaimed as such a big star?
Heath Ledge: Well, it doesn’t feel so sudden – it’s only been three days (laughs). I guess I’m hoping that it gives me more freedom of choice and I’m hoping it gives me more opportunities work with the directors I want to work with and that’s really it. But I’m also hoping that it doesn’t change my personal life.
Q: How do you choose your roles?
Heath Ledge: I don’t have that much forward planning about what I want to do in the future. But I guess once I find something, like if I’m doing Lords of Dogtown, I really like to flip the scale on the next job I’m doing. It’s almost like you are a switchboard in a sound booth and on one job you use one side and by the end of the job you are kind of exhausted by it, but you didn’t use any of the other side over here so you have to find something that will mean you using this half of your brain, energy wise, and that’s how Brokeback Mountain and Casanova complimented each other. Brokeback was excruciating and Casanova was drinking wine and eating pasta, it was like a holiday. But I’ve got no future plans, I don’t know what I’m going to do next as along as it scares me, as long as it’s something new, as long as I get to scare other people. As long as it’s an opportunity to evolve and grow as an actor and a person and challenge myself.
