Naomi Watts Gives Teary-Eyed Tribute To Heath Ledger

Naomi Watts bravely stepped out last night for her first public appearance since the death of her ex, Heath Ledger, but she soon became overcome with emotion, her eyes welling with tears, during a video tribute.

The actress was on hand at the Tropfest Film Festival in Sydney, Australia, to judge and present awards at the annual event. But she broke down when a video tribute, a complilation of clips from Heath’s films, including Brokeback Mountain and Candy was aired, the Daily Telegraph reports.

The montage also included footage of Heath presenting an award at a previous year’s Tropfest.

“The Australian film industry lost someone very special a few weeks ago. He was gentle and had a humble spirit. We send our deepest regrets to his family. He’s an incredible loss,” said director John Polson, who had put together the tribute.
