After learning that Heath Ledger’s will had not been updated to include his two-year-old daughter, Johnny Depp, Jude Law, and Colin Farrell agreed to donate the money they earned from Terry Gilliam’s “The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus” to Ledger’s daughter, Matilda.
MTV UK reports that Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell will donate the money they earned from Terry Gilliam’s The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus to Heath Ledger’s two-year-old daughter, Matilda.
The actors were reportedly worried about Matilda’s future as Ledger’s will had not been updated to include his daughter.
After Ledger’s death in January, Depp, Law, and Farrell stepped in to play versions of Ledger’s character, Tim, in The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus.
Director Terry Gilliam said, “They didn’t take money — it goes to Heath’s daughter.”
“That’s extraordinary! And wonderful . . . and when you’re part of that, you think, ‘Ah, this is maybe why I went into the movies in the beginning. I thought it would be full of wonderful people.’”
“And we’ve got a movie full of wonderful people who did extraordinary things to help.”
Ledger, who starred in this year’s The Dark Knight, died in his New York apartment in January as the result of an accidental overdose of prescription drugs.
