| An Interview with Heath Ledger from a Netherlands Magazine. - This interview has been kindly translated by Tamarah! - Thanks! There were some accidents on the set. Have you been hurt? Heath: Nah, I got a stuntman who takes the hard work, so I didn�t get hurt on the set, haha How easy was the part as a knight on a horse? Heath: I ride horses for a while, so the only difficult thing was holding the lance right. But on the other side it was a lot of fun! I feel like a little boy who may play in a �playgarden� for one whole day!! Was it difficult to wear the (heavy)uniform?? Heath: I really can�t believe that people who lives years ago could fight in it. And it was terribly hot! And if you needed to scratch you couldn�t reach the place that you wanted because there was the uniform! I�ve seen some Knights who were scratching at a tree! Haha. How did you get interested in A Knight�s Tale?? Heath: I got interested in the movie because the script was really nice to read. It was like a comedy and a love story with action and rock music. But it was a big challenge; like: How I gonna do this?? The movie �Four Feathers with Jate Hudson has already been recorded too. Tell us about it! Heath: It was great! Four months in a dessert with Shekhar Kapur. He�s the best at the set! He can change your life completely, and he will! He works you totally for 100 %, 24 hours, 7 days and 4 months with three hours for a sleep, without failing! I like that! Since the Patriot you've become very hot in Hollywood. How does it feel? Heath: I worked very hard and I didn�t get the time to think about it. It�s exiting and scary at the same time, because all those things that get straight to you� Do people recognise you? Heath: Yeah, specially in Australia. And I think in America too. But in Australia the most. It�s a noise there. Too bad because my �home� will never be the same again. Do people yell to you on the street? Heath: Yes. It even got in the newspaper (1st page) that I like to eat fettucini in a restaurant on Tuesday!! You said �no thanks� to a lot of films, even when you got no money for a while. Wasn�t that hard? Heath: No! Totally not!! I�m not being an actor for the money! And it was funny to say �NO� to all those movies! The people in Hollywood didn�t like that at all! Is it true that you say �no thanks� to �Spiderman�? Heath: It wasn�t a direct question. They wanted to talk about it first, then they�d ask me officially. But why should I do it? I've never read comics and if I did, I�d read Spiderman last. How did you meet your girlfriend Heather Graham? Heath: At a party! Do you give Heather advice, and Heather you? Heath: No I didn�t have a relationship with Heather for the business. No true love relationship is, at least not for me. Does she change your life? Heath: Haha, I'm not gonna tell you that!! What do you miss the most about Australia? I think I miss the sense of humour. Is there a big difference?? Yes, there is!! The people in Australia have got a very dry sense of humor, if I make a joke in the US, the people think I�m serious. So I decided that I don�t make any jokes. |
