Washington, Nov 29 : Michelle Williams has confessed to having a crush on Jeff Bridges and being overwhelmed when they met at a red carpet event.

The `My Week With Marilyn' actress, who has a six-year-old daughter Matilda with her late ex-fiance Heath Ledger, has said that she wished she had her sunglasses when she met the actor so that she could hide behind them.

"I walked behind Jeff Bridges on the red carpet once. I was like, `Oh my God, it's him!'" Contactmusic quoted her as telling Hello magazine.

"He turned around and shook my hand - he had his sunglasses on and I was ... well, I kind of wished I had sunglasses on too so I could hide behind them."

After the death of Heath, Michelle dated director Spike Jonze for around a year but has been single ever since they separated in 2009 and she claims to find life easier by staying single.

"The best way to deal with relationships is not to have them," she said.

Michelle is currently working on `Oz, The Great and Powerful' - a prequel to `The Wizard of Oz' in which she plays Glinda the Good Witch - and she loves having Matilda visit the set of the film.

"It's great for my daughter to come to the set because it's like a fairytale playground.

"She comes to visit me and she gets to walk through a castle or see a dance number - it's a lot of fun for her," she added. (ANI)
