Naomi Watts pays tribute to late actor Heath Ledger 10 years on from actor's tragic death

Naomi Watts has paid tribute to late actor and “beautiful soul” Heath Ledger on the 10th anniversary of his death.

Watts dated the actor – who went on to date Michelle Williams - from 2002 to 2004.

Ledger tragically passed away aged 28 following an accidental overdose of prescription drugs, just months after his split from Williams.

Posting a picture of Ledger on her Instagram page on Monday, Watts wrote: “Thinking about this beautiful soul today. 10 years ago he left this world. He was a true original.
