Heath Ledger Considers Full-Time Fathering

The Brokeback Mountain star, and a favourite for the Oscars highest honours, is hoping to spend more time at home with his newly arrived daughter, Matilda.

According to IMDB, the actor will take at least a year off to be with his daughter, and wife, actress Michelle Williams.  Ledger said, "I’m going to try not to work at all this year and send Michelle out to bring in the cash. I’ll be Mr. Mom. It’s something that’s very important to me – something that every dad, if he can, should do his best to achieve."
