The Absolution actor is also currently working with Pamela Anderson on an upcoming reboot of the 1980s screwball comedy Naked Gun – and the 2 of them have become firm friends as a result

Hollywood legend Liam Neeson’s new film Absolution hits theatres on November 1 – but the internet is already talking about his next project, thanks to a new team-up. The Taken actor is co-starring with Baywatch icon Pamela Anderson for an upcoming reboot of Naked Gun – and the two cannot stop gushing over each other. In a recent People interview, Neeson quipped that he was “madly in love” with Anderson, while she called him a “perfect gentleman”.

The 72-year-old also opened up to People about his sobriety, wishing he had given up alcohol sooner. 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.

When he decided to get sober in 2013, it was for his sons, Micheál, 29, and Daniel, 28. “I just thought, ‘This isn’t a good example for my boys, so I’m just going to quietly stop. Not going to announce it. Just quietly stop.’ And I did,” he shared of the turning point.

So, what do we know about Liam Neeson’s sons?

What was their childhood like?

The Neeson brothers adapted to their parents’ busy schedules at a young age. The Oscar-nominated actor told People that his wife gave birth to one of their sons on location. “So they’re used to Dad being away for long periods of time,” he joked.

After Richardson passed away, her mother, actress Vanessa Redgrave, would babysit her grandsons for her busy son-in-law.
