After the tragic death of a famous Hollywood star, his daughter faced immense sadness, especially as he was absent from her life and excluded her from his will.

In a touching gesture, three of the actor’s colleagues gave up their pay from a recent project to support his daughter.

This star was known for playing The Joker in “The Dark Knight” and had many other notable roles in films like “Lords of Dogtown” and “I’m Not There.”

He met Michelle Williams while filming “Brokeback Mountain” in 2004 and they fell in love. They had a daughter named Matilda Rose in 2005, but they split up in 2007. Despite this, he remained devoted to his daughter.

Director Terry Gilliam remembered how close the actor was with his daughter, often carrying her in a backpack as they went around together.

Sadly, the actor passed away in 2008, leaving Matilda to wonder where her dad was.

His costars from “The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus,” Jude Law, Johnny Depp, and Colin Farrell, stepped in to finish the film and gave up their pay to support Matilda.

Initially, the actor’s will didn’t include Matilda, but his family decided to give her everything instead.

Now 17, Matilda is a lot like her dad and is supported by her mom, Michelle, and her late father’s family.

She stays out of the public eye but carries on her father’s memory in her own way.
