Ledger's uncle dismisses 'love child' reports as 'absolutely berserk'

Washington, Apr 4 : Heath Ledger's uncle has dismissed reports that the late actor fathered a secret "love child," branding the suggestions as "absolutely berserk."

In a recent interview, Mike said that reports that the 'Brokeback Mountain' star may have fathered a love child when he was 17 have been blown out of proportion.

"All my brother Haydn said was that anything is possible, and from there, it just went absolutely berserk," Usmagazine.com quoted Mike as saying.

"Haydn was asked a question that wasn't directly related to the Heath issue: 'If someone was this age, could it be possible?' and Haydn said 'Anything is possible,' and that's it.

"His statement was absolutely taken out of context. Absolutely.

"At the end of the day, our thoughts are with the little girl in question, and we're not prepared to make any more comments at all," he added.
