Michelle Williams says Jeremy Strong was her 'rock' after Heath Ledger died

Actress Michelle Williams has revealed that Succession star Jeremy Strong helped her and her daughter Matilda get over the loss of former partner Heath Ledger, who tragically died in 2008.

Michelle and Heath started dating in 2004 and a year later they had Matilda – but The Dark Knight actor passed away three years later at the age of 28 and after his and Michelle's relationship cooled in 2007.

Michelle's friend Jeremy, along with her sister, moved in and helped care for her and Matilda, with the 41-year-old Oscar nominee paying tribute to his compassionate approach to her daughter.
