The summer of the year 2000 consisted me of watching 10 Things I Hate About You almost every single day until school started. Needless to say I fell in love with a young Australian actor named Heath Ledger. I was infatuated and head over heels with this guy; making scrapbooks full of articles and pictures about him and getting every single bit of news I could. When you're 16 this is the norm when you have a celeb crush (or I hope so).
Simply put he was my Orlando before LOTR came out and that took over. I never doubted that he would go on to do great roles and take different and interesting characters.
Now today after getting the text from
gremmie_goo I can't really wrap my head around it. Heath is dead? That cannot be right, but it looks like it's true. It's like a punch in the gut. My heart is breaking for his daughter and his family. I cannot imagine what they are thinking.
The universe can work in weird and tragic ways.
RIP, Heath. You left us way too soon.
