Congrats to Mojean Aria — the newest Heath Ledger Scholarship winner!
The hot 24-year-old Aussie-born actor was awarded the coveted honor at Australian in Film’s fundraising dinner event this week in West Hollywood, Calif.
Speaking with the Sydney Herald afterwards, Mojean shared about continuing Heath’s legacy, “When you’re a young actor in Australia and you’re asked who would you like to be like, that’s who you want to be like.”
He adds, “Heath was ahead of his time, he was vulnerable and experimenting with acting, he was a complete chameleon, a whole new kind of actor. He always improved, with each film he did, and you can’t say that about many actors.”
The scholarship provides a launchpad for emerging actors to help forge their international careers in Hollywood.
Mojean is pictured below with Aussie celebs Brenton Thwaites and Cody Simpson at the dinner.
Brenton Thwaites is opening up more about his role in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales.
The 27-year-old actor plays Henry, son of Orlando Bloom‘s Will Turner, which he was excited about.
“I was dying to hear what our dynamic was on the first three movies – we only really had one day together where we could work together and show the audience what our characters feel toward one another,” Brenton told WWD. “The scene didn’t really call for it – it was a climactic scene, a scene of coming together and revelation. We thought it was more about a son coming together with his father, and leaving it at that.”

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales just got some new character posters!
The fifth film of the franchise follows down-on-his-luck Captain Jack (Johnny Depp), who is feeling the winds of ill-fortune blowing strongly his way when deadly ghost sailors, led by the terrifying Captain Salazar (Javier Bardem), escape from the Devil’s Triangle bent on killing every pirate at sea�notably Jack.
Jack’s only hope of survival lies in the legendary Trident of Poseidon, but to find it he must forge an uneasy alliance with Carina Smyth (Kaya Scodelario), a brilliant and beautiful astronomer, and Henry (Brenton Thwaites), a headstrong young sailor in the Royal Navy.
At the helm of the Dying Gull, his pitifully small and shabby ship, Captain Jack seeks not only to reverse his recent spate of ill fortune, but to save his very life from the most formidable and malicious foe he has ever faced.
Mark your calendars now – Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales hits theaters on May 26!
