Ledger 'fled Oz after water attack'

Heath Ledger cried all night after being attacked with water pistols by paparazzi at the Sydney premiere of Brokeback Mountain, according to his father.

Kim Ledger told how his heart broke when Heath called just hours after the January incident, saying he wanted to sell his Australian home and move to the US. "Heath had to go into the cinema and introduce that film soaking wet," the automotive engineer revealed.

During their phone call, apparently, the actor said: 'Dad, that's it. Sell the house.' The property sold for €5.5m in March.

However, Heath's dad believes the 26-year-old's relocation to Brooklyn with partner Michelle Williams and baby Matilda will not be forever.
