Christian Bale has opened up about his The Dark Knight co-star Heath Ledger who died after the film wrapped. “I want to talk about Heath,” Bale tells the upcoming issue of Parade magazine. “When you miss somebody, you want to speak about him.”
“He was a unique character, a very infectious character. He was a good man, and I was glad to have spent time with him. He was somebody who I⿿d been seeing on a daily basis for months,” Bale says in Parade. “It takes a long time to accept that someone⿿s gone, when all body and mind are telling you that this is somebody you will know for a great deal of time. He was something of a kindred spirit to myself.”
Why has Bale chosen to openly discuss such a painful loss?
“Much of it has to do with my respect for his daughter, whom he loved so dearly and whom he would talk about so often. For me, that is of incredible importance.”
