Neeson was married to actress Natasha Richardson from 1994 until her death in 2009. Neeson and Richardson met in 1993 while performing in a reboot of the play Anna Christie on Broadway.
Richardson died after sustaining a severe head injury during a ski accident. The couple had two children, Micheál Richard Antonio and Daniel Jack.
Controversy
The actor faced backlash after racially charged comments he made. In an interview with The Independent, he said he thought about looking for a black person to kill after someone close to him was raped.
She handled the situation of the rape in the most extraordinary way. But my immediate reaction was… I asked, did she know who it was? No. What color were they?
She said it was a black person. I went up and down areas with a [crowbar], hoping I’d be approached by somebody – I’m ashamed to say that – and I did it for maybe a week, hoping some [Neeson gestures air quotes with his fingers] ‘black bastard’ would come out of a pub and have a go at me about something, you know? So that I could kill him.
Neeson later appeared on Good Morning America to explain his incendiary comments. “I’m not racist,” Neeson said. “This was nearly 40 years ago.”
How he makes his money
Neeson makes most of his money from acting. He also has one production credit for the 2017 documentary Karenina & I.
Furthermore, the actor contributed to the soundtracks for The Ballad of Buster Scruggs (2018) and The Lego Movie Videogame (2014).
Product endorsements also contribute to Neeson’s wealth. He has endorsed brands including Supercell Games and LG.
