It’s Clear Which Features Heath Ledger & Michelle Williams' Daughter Gets From Each Parent in Rare Photos
Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams’ teen daughter Matilda was all smiles during a weekend stroll with a friend, and fans can’t help but notice how much she takes after her celebrity parents. In rare photos obtained by Page Six, the 19-year-old is basically her late father’s clone.
“His twin!” one follower said on Instagram. Another insisted, “She looks exactly like Heath.”
And yet, there’s still a glimmer of Williams in there. One person put it perfectly when they said, “Daddy’s face with mama’s smile ❤️.”
Because Matilda has her dad’s head shape to a tee, his beautiful wide cheeks, and his soul-piercing brown eyes. (Well, at least it looks that way from afar!) We say this a lot, but it really is uncanny. The Oscar winner’s genes were clearly working overtime. Meanwhile, Matilda has her mom’s full lips and wide smile.
“Beautiful young lady. She looks like both her parents ????????????????”
Another running theme? How in the world is Matilda a legal adult? An adult who — by the looks of it — is drinking coffee with her friend. “I’m sorry I thought she was 3 years old. Holy crap,” one person said. Another asked, “How is she 19 now?? Wasn’t she just a baby?? Where did time go???”
Shortly after Matilda was born in 2005, Ledger gushed about his daughter to InTouch, per People. “Matilda is adorable and beautifully observant and wise,” the late actor said about his infant. “Michelle and I love her so much. Becoming a father exceeds all my expectations. It’s the most remarkable experience I’ve ever had — it’s marvelous.”
Matilda was just 2 years old when Ledger died from an accidental drug overdose in Jan. 2008. Williams — who also shares two children with husband Thomas Kail — has gotten candid with Porter magazine about the reality of Matilda growing up without Ledger.
“You know, that’s just something that doesn’t … I mean, it just won’t ever be right,” she said in November 2016. Because it’s nothing short of a tragedy that Matilda lost her father — her lookalike! — when she was just a toddler.
