Director Shekhar Kapur: My ‘brother’ Heath Ledger
By Behind The Scenes TV on Feb 28, 2008 in Actors, Directors
Shekhar Kapur was the last person to speak to Heath Ledger before his death. He tells Marc Lee about their close friendship and their plan to make a film together
When the Australian actor died aged 28 in New York last month, Kapur was devastated. He was the last person to talk to Ledger - on the phone - and recalls their final conversation with a painful bewilderment.
“He was jet-lagged, but he was looking forward to the next day. We were talking about meeting up, and laughing about synchronicity because I had booked a massage for him at three o’clock, and he’d booked one for himself at the same time.
“He told me to call him in the morning. I said, ‘I won’t disturb you if you’re tired.’ But he said, ‘No, call me. Wake me up, and we’ll meet. There was nothing he said that gave me the impression he was depressed.’

If I was dating a hottie like Gemma Ward, I wouldn’t be depressed either….the opposite. He just made a silly mistake, as many people do, at not realizing the devastating effects of combining different pills do to the human system.
