Robert Pattinson jumped to the defense of the late Heath Ledger at the No on H8 show at The Improv in Hollywood on Dec. 16.

According to an eyewitness, the Twilight star, 22, booed a comic who said, “Here’s my impression of Heath Ledger,” then collapsed and began faking convulsions.

Brokeback Mountain star Heath died of an accidental prescription drug overdose in January. He was 28.

“Robert and his friend went nuts yelling at him,” Us Weekly magazine quotes a source as saying. “[Pattinson screamed] f–k you! You suck!”

But Robert went unrecognized by the performing comic.

“The comic didn’t know who it was, but I’m sure he found out later!” the source said.
