The actress – who has a six-year-old daughter oatilda with the late actor – says she had “buried” her emotions following her former fiance’s passing in 2008 but the intensity of the 2010 film was a form of “therapy” for her which finally helped her move on.

“I felt that I was…rediscovering a lot of emotions that I had buried since Heath’s death…Maybe the intensity of the film and the fact my character was falling in love with Ryan [Gosling]’s character had something to do with that.”

Michelle says.

“You could call it a form of therapy. That film also took me to lots of dark places and sometimes when you confront sadness and fears it can resolve lots of issues in your head.”
