AFTA award winner Liam Neeson, who married his late wife Natasha in 1994 but tragically lost her in a skiing accident in 2009, says he ‘talks to her every day’
Taken star Liam Neeson heartbreakingly shared that he speaks to his life wife Natasha Richardson ‘every day’ – and revealed he has to take a ‘cup-tea-test’ to decide on his next acting role.
The 71-year-old widower married fellow actor Natasha in 1994, but tragically lost his wife in 2009 following a ski injury while she was with her eldest son, Michael. Neeson has remained single since Natasha’s death and continues to refer to her in the present tense.
Opening up about his wife with Conan O’Brien after the TV host apologised for recalling a meeting he had with the actor shortly after the tragic incident took place, he said: “No, it’s fine,” said the actor. He added: “We still talk every day, me and Natasha. Every day.”
The actor and his wife were together for 15 years together, and share two children together, Micheal and Daniel. Richardson was admitted to a hospital in New York City after returning from her ski trip in Canada in 2009. The actor was at her bedside during her last moments.
Despite having an illustrious career spanning over two decades, and numerous awards under his belt, Nesson admits he struggles to decide on his next job. Speaking on the podcast Conan O’Brien Has No Friends to promote his new action film, Retribution, Nesson explained how a hot cup of tea can help him decide his next job.

“Yeah, I have a cup-of-tea test. If I get to page five [of a script] and I think I’ll make a cup of tea, that means it’s not great,” said the actor, whose latest action film has been scathed by critics for its formulaic plot and action scenes.
“I knew [Retribution] was going to be a thriller, and I had done films with the guys [producers Alex Heineman and Andrew Rona] before. One about a plane that crashes, another about a train that crashes, so it had to be a car — and this one is about a car.”

Neeson’s older son also once spoke out about how his mum’s death “messed with his mind” when he was just 13 years old. He told The Times : “It was so sudden. When it’s unexpected and it’s just a complete freak accident, it really sort of messes with your mind, whether you believe in fate or not.” She was a terrific, terrific mother. What I wish is I could have just these adult conversations with her, these random questions about the industry or music.
