The hard-hitting, quick-kicking, action movies.
ActorLiam Neesonbrings a lot to mind for most fans.
And who can blame them?
What manydon’tthink of when they think of the actor is “father.”
But he is one.
Neeson has two sons with his late wife Natasha Richardson: Micheal and Daniel.
In fact, one might not even be able to call them “boys” anymore.
According toABC News, Richardson was skiing when she fell during her lesson and hit her head.
Naturally, the boys took their mother’s death quite hard.
The brothers' grandmother, Vanessa Redgrave, also stepped up to help care for them.
“I was putting [socializing] with my friends as my top priority,” he revealed.
One of their favorite family pastimes, it seems, is taking in sporting events.
The threesome apparently don’t limit their love of sports to just hockey.
The reason is truly touching.
“He wanted to hold his mother close to him.”
I don’t object.
It’s as good as any."
How does Neeson feel about his son not having his name?
“I think he did the right thing,” the actor toldRadio Andy(viaThe Irish Post).
“I’d hate for him to be constantly asked: ‘Oh are you Liam Neeson’s son?’
So, it was a lovely gesture.
Natasha’s family, mother, and sisters were very touched by it.
I’m proud of it.”
But why did he pursue that internship in the first place?
“Back in New York, I didn’t have a good reputation for fashion …
I’d be called a hipster for just wearing a couple of chains.”
His late mother was the one who changed his tune.
“One thing my Mum taught me was to dress how you feel, dress how you want.”
Though he graduated from Tulane University in 2019, perInstagram, Neeson never acted.
Instead, as he told theNew York Post,he’s using his acting skills to sell his ideas.
“You have an idea … and then you present it,” he told the publication.
“And when you present it, you [see to it it] relates to people.”
What’s this big idea?
It’s a sustainable clothing company that has a focus on helping the environment.
“I think it’s about building a community … and giving back.”
“It really struck me,” he went on.
“I’ve always been in tune with the environmental crisis [since then].”
The line, Pine Outfitters, plants one tree for every product sold.
As he toldWWD, he would often sit in class and doodle.
No matter how much it expands, though, Pine Outfitters will always come back to its original goal.
“He loves wearing our hats,” Neeson told theNew York Post.
The Irish actor wanted his son Micheal Richardson to pursue literally any career but acting.
For a while, Richardson took his dad’s advice.
However, he couldn’t stay away from the family business forever.
“I had suggested him early on to Hans, our director, and Michael, our producer.
And then I just stayed away.”
Neeson said in a statement to IANS (viaBusiness Standard).
“Micheal read for the part and he got it.
I was pleased, pleased for him too.”
“We didn’t have to pretend to have a relationship.
“It was a no-brainer with regard to acting with him.
It was just having a regular conversation with your boy.”
Made in Italyalso has Neeson and Richardson playing father and son.
But, as Neeson toldRadio Andy, the experience was “cathartic” for them.
The youngest Neeson boy did perform as a DJ.
The young entrepreneur has a long-term girlfriend named Natalie Ackerman.
“I’m the luckiest guy ever,” Neeson told theNew York Post.
The COVID-19 pandemic can be to blame.
“I’ve not been around so many people, so the dating scene has been sparse.”
However, he does wonder why other men his age have found love and he hasn’t.
“They’re getting out there and have found girlfriends as of recently.
I don’t know what I’m doing wrong,” he joked.
