Liam Neeson Makes Rare Comment About Late Wife Natasha Richardson
Liam Neeson Makes Rare Comment About Late Wife Natasha Richardson originally appeared on Parade. Amid his new romance with Pamela Anderson, Liam Neeson is looking back at his marriage to the late Natasha Richardson. Neeson — who stars alongside Anderson in The Naked Gun reboot that hits theaters Friday, August 1 — reminisced about his meet-cute with Richardson in a rare, personal reflection. Neeson and Richardson, who went on to marry and have two children before her death in 2009, first met while co-starring in the 1993 Broadway revival of the play Anna Christie. "It was great doing it every night with her and falling in love," the Taken star, 73, told The New York Timesabout his late wife in an interview published on Thursday, July 31. The actor, who tends to keep the details of his personal life as close to the vest as possible, reminisced about the beginning of his romance with Richardson in a tone that was nearly a whisper, the NYT noted. Neeson and Richardson, who went on to tie the knot in 2004, later welcomed sons Micheál and Daniel. Richardson was just 45 years old when she died in 2009 from a head injury in caused by a skiing accident. The Schindler's List actor notably brought Michael, now 30, and Daniel, now 28, as his dates to The Naked Gun premiere in New York City earlier this week. Anderson, for her part, brought her own two sons — Brandon, 28 and Dylan, 22 — whom she shares with ex-husband Tommy Lee. Andy Cohen, who had been close friends with Richardson, even shared his own comparison of Anderson and the Tony winning-actress to Neeson at the time. "Natasha was a dear friend of mine and I'm gonna tell you something," the Watch What Happens Live host shared on his SiriusXM show Andy Cohen Live. "As I was telling him at the premiere party, I go, 'Liam, she is an independent woman just like Tash was. She loves to cook. She has her own thing going on. She has two boys.'" While neither Neeson nor Anderson have officially confirmed their romance — artfully dodging the question presented to them on the Today show earlier this week — the duo can't stop gushing over each other (or being affectionate on the red carpet.) Even back in 2024, Neeson told People: "With Pamela, first off, I'm madly in love with her. She's just terrific to work with. I can't compliment her enough, I'll be honest with you," he gushed. "No huge ego. She just comes in to do the work. She's funny and so easy to work with. She's going to be terrific in the film."

He revealed that his drinking got out of hand after the tragic passing of his wife, Natasha Richardson, who succumbed to a brain haemorrhage from a skiing accident.
