Matilda Ledger Waves To Paparazzi
Michelle Williams and her boyfriend, director Spike Jonze, take her daughter Matilda Ledger, out for a walk in rainy Brooklyn, New York City on Saturday (April 11).
Michelle was at a yoga (pilates?) class when a male friend (bodyguard?) brought Matilda there. Michelle and Spike were later seen leaving the studio with Matilda, who waved to paparazzi! Seems like she’s got the opposite approach to photographers than Suri Cruise!

FIRST!
AH SHE IS SO CUTE! MY FAV CELEB TOT!
So adorable.
I love this angel, wish her the best.
omg shes waving at the cameras :)
that’s so adorable :D she’s so cute! in the side view of her, on that man’s shoulders, she looks a lot like Heath in her smile and face :)
Aww she is precious. Given that she has gone through so much in her life already, she seems so happy and very well cared for. It is obvious Michelle is a great mom.
They all look very happy together.
Matilda is a cutie patootie! :-)
Matilda is so adorable!:)
she is just so adorable. michelle is doing a good job raising happy matilda.
Up until a few months ago, i didn’t really consider little Matilda as being noticeably cuter than many other children i’d ever seen. But nowadays i think she is just a totally adorable cherub! What a winning smile! I bet Michelle has a tough time saying no to her! She is actually the only child that has ever made feel that i would actually like to have one of my own!
It’s funny when i see pictures of this mummy-daughter duo together because i always think of Michelle herself as having this eternally youthful quality to her and an almost childlike charm - and i never watched Dawson’s Creek so it’s not like i can’t get past the association with a teenage character (it’s just the way she looks) - and yet simultaneously very much an independent, mature woman and a strong supermom also!
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!
Matilda likes everyone :)
Cute girl! :)
Why isn’t anyone on this website consistent?
If it was Suri Cruise waving with her mom in these photos you’d be crying photo op and accusing Katie Holmes of being a pimp.
Of course, I’m not accusing Michelle Williams of anything. I’m just pointing out the double standard.
She is so cute and seems to have such a normal upbringing. Well done to Michelle for being such a good mum.
omg im almost cyring.. she is so cute and so like heath=(
who is that man? does anyone know? he didnt look a bodyguard,
#12 Agree
Glad to see Matilda happy :)
he is not a body guard his name is kane he was a very good friend of Heaths and regularly looks after Matilda, he was in Guiding Light.
so beautiful.
Sonia, I don’t think that’s Kane Manera, Kane is younger and has hair. I think you confuse Kane with Trevor DiCarlo, one of Heath’s best friends, who’s bald, but that bald guy in the green jacket is not Trevor. Perhaps it’s really a bodyguard.
^^Just to get that straight, Kane Manera was also one of Heath’s best friends. :)
You know Matilda is living a very good life with a loving mother and family friends. This beautiful child is always smiling, laughing, giggling… like how all 3 year olds should be. I wish her the best.
Matilda is a VERY PRETTY happy normal little girl!!!!!!!!
Suri is not!!!!
She is SO CUTE! What a smile!!!
I bet Michelle loves that Matilda is a total ham to the paps…just makes them come back for more if her daughter is a willing participant.
She’s a dollbaby.
Matilda looks so much like her daddy :) every time I see her smile my heart just melts, just like when Heath smiled. She’s such a gorgeous little girl and I can’t wait to see how she grows up…
Matilida is a darling!! Michelle is a great mother!
#12 because everyone loves ♥ Matilda and hates the cruise family! isn’t it obvious! matilda acts like a stable child while Suri has emotional breakdowns at the sight of cameras!
matilda looks normal and is comfortable with the papz so there is nothing wrong if michelle is pimping her out unlike suri who looks agitated covering her face and ears when she’s out. katie should teach her daughter how to behave properly.
@Raphael, NO comparison possible in how Katie Holmes handles Suri and in how Michelle Williams protects her daughter always from the paps..
If you want an opinion it has to be based on facts, that’s what you always “teach” everyone on this site. The very obvious fact is that we rarely see little Matilda on pics because her mother does everything to give that kid an normal life. And tha fact is Katie Holmes pimps out her daughter for her own purposes, even if the kid is completly upset. And she does this, day after day after day. Not talking now about how she could learn to dress Suri by also looking at Matilda… Hmmm… Facts Raphael, everyone notices the difference.
i love lil heath damn she looks just like him shes gourgues
Do you have any idea how idiotic that is, #27? It’s now okay to pimp out your kids if they like the cameras? There’s a condition now? And you can tell when one parent is staging a photo op and when another isn’t by…I don’t know…mind reading? There’s a proper way for a 2 year-old to behave in front of the cameras that they don’t like now?
When did I ever say that, #28?
No matter how much the gap is between photos, you accuse Katie Holmes of pimping out her kid no matter how famous they are and how public their location is. And there was a point when Matilda Ledger was photographed just as much if not more than Suri Cruise but I don’t remember anyone making outlandish accusations there.

*********************
She hasn’t gone through anything. She was a toddler when her father died. She was oblivious to what was going on.
there’s no need to compare matilda to suri. matilda is normal and a happy child. michelle obviously did a good job in raising matilda. suri however always look disturbing when she’s out. suri is the only child you see covering her ears and face all the time which makes other people think she has a mental problem. if you don’t see anything wrong with how katie raises her child then i’ll respect your opinion but don’t get upset if some people don’t see it the way you see it and i hope you’ll respect it too. everybody’s got different views you know, you should not take it personally.
She is soooooooo cute! :D
matilda is a normal child unlike suri.

*********************************
Um, yeah she has gone through a lot. Children know when their parents are not around; they cry when their parents just go out to dinner. And I am sure that Michelle was an absolute mess after Heath died so Matilda had to see her mom cry all the time. She won’t remember much as an adult but don’t think because she is so young that she doesn’t feel anything. I am just saying that she is well adjusted and looks happy…look at the comparison to Suri who has both her parents and yet she cringes and holds her ears when she is around the paps.

All kids obviously behave,think, act differently!! I think Matilda is great, but just b/c Suri covered her eyes and ears a couple of times does not mean she has mental probs. The main prob that she has is a dislike of paps shouting at her, which means to me, that katie should try keep her away from paps. P>S> I don’t like scientology & Tom!!
Is that it, #32? Because you’re comparing kids, you think that just because Suri Cruise is the only kid to hate the paparazzi she’s abnormal or that her parents aren’t raising her well?
You don’t know how either girls are like, #34.
adorable kid!
and Spike and Michelle look happy!
that’s all that matters - that they’re all happy and healthy!
beautiful!
Michelle always has a sad face! What’s wrong with this woman?
THAT IS JOHN MAYER MANAGER LOL
If you want to argue about Suri, go somewhere else Raphael. I feel bad for you, wasting your life on the internet like this- you post comments with the pretense of challenging people regarding an unrelated topic. How do you even know the same people post on threads of Suri’s? I sure as hell don’t.
That said, it’s pointless comparing the two. They are children and they have two completely different sets of parent/s and two different personalities. It’s like comparing an apple with a banana.
She is the cutest celeb kid! adorable personality aswell. He looks like Heath.
matilda is adorable! love her and michelle
Matilda is just too precious and adorable for words! AWWW!!
I don’t want to argue about her, #42. I’m just pointing out the hypocrisy and I’m not even the one who brought up Suri Cruise.
You’re right. It is pointless comparing two different people. So why do they do it?
SHE IS SO CUTE!!! : )
Her mother looks upset in one of the photos that her daughter is waving to the paps. That is the last thing she wants. If this keeps up, they’ll move out of Dodge. Mathilda does look like a bright and very happy kid; but no mother would want their child to be overly friendly with paps - it just eggs them on. It would worry me.
Just to get that straight, Kane Manera was also one of Heath’s best friends. :)>
I thought Jake was also one of Heath’s best friends…
What a wonderful sweet happy child. Great job Michelle.
ANOTHER ATTENTION-FIGHTING-AMERICAN FAMILY, folks!!
she looks so adorable waving haha too cute. she’s got her daddy’s eyes…
Please don’t compare Matilda and Suri, Jared! It’s not even funny as a joke!
Matilda is so cute!!
Raphael you are wasting your breath, the haters are gonna keep on hating no matter what you say. The real documented facts mean tish to the haters so no matter how many times Suri waves or smiles or runs through the streets of NY laughing and dragging her mother along, or her pure excitement of being at Disney World where there were no paparazzi means nothing to these folk
The truth is maybe 1 or 2 photogs are taking Matildas picture and there 102 surrounding Suri. JJ knows that by mentioning Suris name the clicks will triple so don’t waste your time , you are not going to win …….but hell….I admire your persistance!
This is heartbreaking! I’m really happy seeing this adorable little girl smiling all the time but then on the other hand I have to think of Heath and how he can only watch her from above, how Matilda will probably not really remember her dad and this makes me sad…
Hopefully Michelle will raise Matilda with the best memories of Heath!
BTW: I LOVE Matilda’s umbrella ;-)
“I thought Jake was also one of Heath’s best friends…”
I don’t know about that, but he and Jake were probably friends, at least acquaintances. I don’t think Michelle and Matilda have much contact with Jake.
Matilda is a little rebel like her father. Michelle has tried to make her understand the photographers aren’t nice people, and not to look at them, but Matilda obviously doesn’t care. WHen Michelle tried to get her to ignore them, she asked, “What’s the problem, Mom?” LOL! She is a LOT like her father. She has his nose and his eyes and his smile. But it looks like she has his spirit too. Who ever these men are that come around Matilda, I sincerely hope they are good people who will treat her properly. She needs a father figure in her life, but not some jerk.
Aww how cute is matilda with her yellow rain coat and umbrella!
Uhh, I don’t think she’s trying to be a rebel or even defy michelle, bianca, I doubt she even fully understands the concept of papparazzi yet. All she sees is a person trying to take photos of her and she clearly likes that.
Matilda is always smiling at the paparazzi when her mother isn’t around. Michelle is fearful of them and I think it would be unfair on the poor little girl to feel threatened by them. The paparazzi don’t want to hurt the child at all. It is not THEIR fault that she is being photographed. They just do their jobs.
Matilda seems a free spirit like her father. He hated paparazzi but he was incredibly shy and I feel Michelle is that way inclined also, but if she just completely ignores these strange people who don’t seem to be all up in her face like they are with Katie/Suri and the Brangelina clan and ignores them, Matilda will be fine.
I hope they don’t leave Brooklyn. It’s Matilda’s home, where she was born and where her dad loved to be with her.

———————————
you did brought up the cruises in this thread and almost every thread where celebrity mother take their kids. not all people like the cruises the way you do, so get over it and move on. if you don’t like to read the negative critisms about them then don’t even bother reading the comments, just look at the photos then go. you don’t have to argue with everybody by defending the cruises in every poster who says something you happen to disagree. no celebrity parents are perfect. for every celebrity, there will always be haters and lovers / praisers and bad commenters. so get over it and move on!
Now you see that Matilda is happy but when she will grow up and say why dady is dead, her face will change. she will be sad and angry to her mom
omg i’m crying :’( DADDY’S LITTLE GIRL :’( She is just like Heath! I can’t wait to see her grown up. Heath lives forever in Matilda <3
Quit defending the paparazzi, #60. It’s not that girl’s fault that she’s famous. Only her mother should be photographed and her space should still be respected. ‘They’re just doing their job’ is a stupid excuse.
I didn’t bring up the Cruises now, #61. Don’t tell me what to do.

Get a job and see a psychiatrist, dude. Your poor family. You must live on this site. Your fat ass must never leave the computer!
Raphael @ 04/12/2009 at 7:46 pm
Don’t tell me what to do.

Then stop correcting people.
I think my heart just melted. How darling is Matilda!
@Raphael: I just came back here to SEE what youw rote, it’s unbelievable..
Woohooo, you may be eating your own words very soon if you continue. Because everything you reproach others is exactly what you do in the first place.
My bet: …you’re in LOVE with Katie Holmes.
Aren’t you?
My advice (yeaah, your response will be you didn’t ask my advice, but I’ll give it anyway)
STAY REALISTIC.
And GET a life.
Raphael and Adoring Fan = same person.
She’s adorable. I think it is so creepy that these paps are calling out her name to get a picture of her. That’s why she’s smiling. A 3.5 year old can not possibly understand what is going on. I love to see pics of her as well but the tactics that the paps use are disgusting.
They posted this at TMZ
http://www.tmz.com/videos?autoplay=true&mediaKey=7075c197-c60b-4412-8616-0b036fe2bb14
She waves to everyone, not just the paparazzi. It’s a sad world we live in when we start stalking celebrity children sans parents.
Matilda and Violet are the cutest lil girlies!!! the paps are despicable, but what else would you expect.
Many celebs do keep their kids away from the paps though! lt’s not rocket science ya know!
she is a lovely child but mum donest like the paps taking pictures off her child and her at other times funny that.
Maybe she’s better than Suri because she is actually a respectable young child, not a little diva!
