Matilda definitely takes after her father
Matilda Ledger certainly takes after her father Heath Ledger.
The 19-year-old was the spitting image of her famous dad – who died in 2008 – as she stepped out in New York City on Thursday.
Matilda was dressed casually in a denim skirt and black singlet as she went on a solo shopping trip.
She carried a handbag over her shoulder and accessorised her look with a pair of red shoes.
She was seen riding a bike through the city before visiting a local clothing shop and nearby café.
The teenager shares many similarities with the late Australian actor and appears to have inherited her dad’s looks.
Matilda’s father Heath died in a New York City apartment on January 22, 2008, after accidentally overdosing, following months of physical and mental exhaustion.
The Dark Knight actor died aged 28 after taking a fatal cocktail of drugs, leaving behind his daughter, who was two years old at the time.
Her mother Michelle Williams, who was in a relationship with Heath from 2004 to 2007 after meeting on the set of Brokeback Mountain, decided to raise Matilda away from the spotlight.
The Blue Valentine star took a hiatus from acting and moved to upstate New York with Matilda after Heath’s death.
She previously said the move stemmed from her desire to provide ‘a sane home environment’ for her daughter.
‘We moved – we left Brooklyn and lived in the country for six years because it was an intolerable state of existence,’ she told the New York Post in June 2016.
Years later, Michelle made the decision to return to the Big Apple and bought a property in Brooklyn, where she had lived before the move.
Before their breakup, Michelle and Heath had shared a $3.6million townhouse in Boerum Hill, a small neighbourhood in the northwestern portion of the borough.
