Widower Liam Neeson Beams with Messy Gray Hair near Son & His Girlfriend – At 70 He’s a Supportive Dad

Rarely seen, Liam Neeson is all gray-haired at 70 and enjoys time with his son and his girlfriend.

The “Schindler’s List” actor raised his two sons alone after becoming a widower.

His younger son Daniel doesn’t follow in his dad’s footsteps, yet Neeson still supports him.

Liam Neeson and his wife, Natasha Richardson, had a beautiful marriage and had welcomed two sons into the world when tragedy struck their family. What was meant to be a fun occasion turned into the family’s last moments with Richardson.

Neeson raised his sons alone after Richardson passed away with the guidance of his mother-in-law. At 70, he is still a loving and supportive father to his two boys and has never remarried, despite his sons finding love.

Neeson and Richardson were raising their sons, Michael and Daniel, together when Richardson passed away at 45. It was March 2009 when Richardson and her son, Michael, were on a ski trip in Quebec, Canada.

The actress fell and hit her head on the beginner’s slope at Mont Tremblant. Richardson was not wearing a helmet when she fell, but she didn’t think anything had gone seriously wrong and even refused medical attention when an ambulance arrived on the scene.

The ski patrol and her ski instructor escorted Richardson back to her hotel room. Neeson was in Toronto filming a movie, and she called him to let him know what had happened, simply saying:

“Oh, darling, I’ve taken a tumble in the snow.”

While she seemed healthy, doctors later said Richardson had experienced a “lucid interval,” which means someone with a severe brain injury can appear normal for a while. Still, there is bleeding in the brain, causing fatal pressure. Richardson’s condition was called an “epidural hematoma.”

Three hours after the fall, another ambulance was called, and Richardson’s assistant called Neeson to tell him he had better come to see her. He did so immediately and was told she was brain-dead when he arrived.

Doctors showed the actor her brain scan so he could see the extent of her injury and understand her position. The “Taken” actor went into his wife’s hospital room and told her he loved her but that she would not recover from this injury.

Neeson revealed that he and Richardson had made a pact that they would like to be taken off life support if either of them were ever in this position. Even though it broke his heart, Neeson knew it was what he had to do.

While Richardson lost her life, Neeson said she saved three other people’s lives as they had donated her lungs, heart, and kidneys. The actor said he thought his wife would think it was beautiful that she could help others, but her death still doesn’t feel real to him.

Neeson’s eldest son followed in his father’s footsteps and became an actor. However, his youngest brother decided to pursue a different path in life, and it all started with something he learned in school.
