Wrangler Adam Sutton is the man who Heath Ledger used as inspiration for his character of Ennis Delmar in Brokeback Mountain.
The real life Ennis Del Mar
"I've just read this script, Ledger later told his mate, Adam Sutton, and it sounds a lot like you. It was a film about a gay cowboy, and the actor was right; Sutton knew more than a bit about that."
Sutton was a horse wrangler for the film Ned Kelly which Heath Ledger starred in. He had became a cowboy after a short brutal life, and struggled with the closet. Finally coming to terms with himself while remaining true to his heart.
Maybe eventually people will get it that we aren't all hairdressers or chorus boys.
