We can only assume that Wes Bentley and Heath Ledger shared such a close friendship because they could relate to each other on multiple levels, including their love of poetry. "Whenever we got together, especially early on, we were all about pushing ourselves to be better. Not just as actors, but with our lives, too — the way we approached relationships, reading and writing poetry," Bentley told Details (via Us Weekly).
Sharing one specific memory, Bentley recalled, "He wrote his poetry on the computer. I wrote mine by hand. One time — this was in London, early in the morning, and we'd been up all night — I was reading from his computer, and I turned to him and said, 'This is beautiful, man, but I hate reading on computers." Bentley then revealed that Ledger "walked right up, grabbed the laptop, snapped it over his knee, and threw it off the balcony. Then he looked down and went, 'Oh [expletive]. Shouldn't have done that.'"
We can only imagine how much Bentley must still miss him today.
