In one of his interviews, he stated that he had a normal upbringing, as he witnessed some historic moments, as he talked in the 50th anniversary of the Bloody Sunday as, “I remember the next day when everything was incredibly quiet and very, very sinister.”
He boxed between 9 and 17, as he explained that it helped him to overcome his violent traumas from his childhood, which he is respecting.
Besides boxing, he loved acting. He wanted to be on the stages.
As he grew, he started to work as a forklift driver, and he would rush to rehearse to plays, after his works. He stated that his mother was a hardworked too, as she woked as a dinner lady for 34 years.

Thanks to his acting career, he met with the love of his life. He met with Natasha Richardson in the Broadway play, Anna Christie, in 1993. He was impressed of the chemistry they had on the stage, as he never felt before.
At that time, Natasha was married to Robert Fox, but their marriage was on the brink of separation, so Natasha wasn’t scared to have feelings towards Neeson.
Neeson was 40 at that time, and Natasha was 29, but that age gap created no problem for the couple. As he was working for the Schindler’s List, when Richardon’s 30th birthday arrived, he send her flowers and a card that was read, “You are catching up on me. Lots of love, Oskar”
Then Richarson stated, as she wasn’t impressed, “This is like a letter from a buddy. What is our relationship?”
As he realized that he needed to act to Richardson, he proposed to her, and the couple married in 1994.
Sadly, Neeson lost his wife, when in was 2009, as she suffered from a skiing incident. She received a fatal head injury, and passed away in Canada.
As Neeson arrived to the hospital his wife was in, the doctors explained the situation of her, as she received a fatal head injury that led to her brain dead.
Neeson went into his wife’s room, talked to her, and both agreed on pulling the plug. He waited on her side until she gave her last breath.
After five years of the passing of his wife, Neeson admitted in one of his interviews that he still doesn’t feel really he lost his wife, as he is struggling with accepting the truth, but he needs to continue for the sake of his sons.
He revelaed that he started having problems with drinking after losing his wife. But he managed to save himself, for his children.
He stated that his favorite verse from the bible is written over the gravestone of his wife, “Cast your bread upon the water, and it will be returned tenfold.”
When it was 2016, he paid tribute to his wife through his social media, and shared a collection of pictures, as he captioned, “The hardest thing in the world is losing someone you love.”
“Live and love every day like it’s your last. Because one day, it will be,”
As he is continuing to his life for his children, he is a proud father of her children. He believes that he raised well mannered children, as he became a single father in their life.
His sons, 27-year-old Michael Richardson, and 26-year-old Daniel Neeson, are following their father’s footsteps, as Michael made his debut with Anchorman, and acted along side with his father in Cold Pursuit.
As it is rumored, Neeson is back in the love game too. After a year and a half later he dated with Freya St. Johnston, as it is rumored.
They were seen leaving the Nobu restaurant in London, as people stated that Johnston was resembling Natasha, his late wife.
Neeson was also reported that he was dating with Laura Brent. And before her, he had dated with Leslie Slater, but their fling was short.
They attended together for the premiere of “The Chronicles of Narnia”, with Brent, where Neeson had hugged her behind.
As it is recently reported, Neeson fell in love in his time at Melbourne, Australia, where he was there for shooting a movie. The name of the woman he fell for was kept hidden for a while, but then it is reported that she is Tina Arena, but they are all rumor.
