Jason Segel reaches out to Heath Ledger’s father: “I’m there for Michelle and Matilda”

Break out the tissues ‘cuz this story’s gonna get you! (Or at least it got us.) Usually, a guy just asks for approval from his girlfriend’s father, but Jason Segel took this courtesy a step further and also sought approval from Heath Ledger’s father. Approval seeker or sweet?

According to Radar Online, Jason Segel called up Michelle Williams‘ baby daddy’s dad Kim Ledger (give him a break, he’s Australian). Jason let the Ledger family know that he was going to be there for Matilda and that they’re always welcome to come see her. He even offered his home as a ‘crash pad.’

“Kim was blown away by Jason’s generosity and the two hit it off right away. Now Kim’s given his blessing for Jason to marry Michelle and be a stepdad to Matilda.”

This is an incredibly sweet and honorable gesture that Jason made (and tears blur our vision as we try to type these words), but the only thing is… Jason and Michelle haven’t even been dating a year… Was Jason Segel’s brave, bold move a bit premature?
