Liam Neeson says he and his sons are ‘taking each day as it comes’ following the death of the star’s wife Natasha Richardson.
Richardson died earlier this year following a head injury she received during a ski trip to Canada.
Neeson said that his sons, Michael, 14, and Daniel, 12, ‘are doing good’.
“I am still getting extraordinary condolence letters from the American people that are deeply, deeply touching. And that is part of the reason why I recently became an American citizen.
“America has been very, very good to me. I am still a proud Irishman of course, but I have become an American citizen and I am very proud of that.”
Northern Irish-born Neeson also paid tribute to the late Senator Edward Kennedy and revealed that the politician had written to him following the death of Richardson.
“He wrote my family a very, very beautiful, touching condolence letter when Natasha died,” said Neeson. He was a special man. It is the end of an era.
“I have a very clear memory of being a 10-year-old boy and being taken to the ancestral Kennedy homestead in Ireland and posing for a photograph underneath the gable of their home with the American flag and the Irish flag up there,” said Neeson.
