Naomi Watts admits that she stills finds talking about Heath Ledger’s death “incredibly difficult”.
The King Kong actress dated Ledger for two years after they met in 2002’s Ned Kelly. Although as of 2004 they were no longer a couple, they did remain friends until the actor’s death last year.
IN a conversation with Parade about Ledger, she said: “I hadn’t really been that familiar with his work. Then, when I got to the set and did that first scene with him, I was like, ‘Wow! This guy is alive.’
“It was just something deep in his eyes. You could look into them, and they would tell a thousand stories in one glance.
