Ledger snubs premiere to look after Matilda

Heath Ledger has snubbed the Sydney premiere of Candy, the first Australian film he's made in four years, because he will be looking after baby daughter Matilda in the absence of girlfriend Michelle Williams.

Brokeback Mountain star Ledger will be in Brooklyn, New York City, caring for the tot, who was born last year, while his co-star onscreen and at home is away filming her latest project.
