Liam Neeson’s nostalgic confession in an interview with Conan O’Brien has caught the attention of his admirers, especially when he discusses his dearly-departed spouse. It was twelve years ago that Neeson appeared on O’Brien’s show where he recounted the quirky tale of signing fellow actor Ralph Fiennes’ name.
The conversation took a somber turn as it moved toward memories of Natasha Richardson, Neeson’s late wife who tragically passed away from head trauma after 15 blissful years of marriage in 2009. In the YouTube video, the actor recalls how often he got mistaken for Ralph Fiennes, reflecting on their similar facial features – their noses and foreheads.
“He won a Tony award for playing hamlet about 14 years ago, I have been complimented on my Hamlet quite a few times,” Neeson quipped to O’Brien.

Subsequently, wrapping a touching anecdote within his humor, Neeson changed to a more solemn tone, saying “forgive me for sharing it with you” before delving into the touching personal story, reports the Irish Star .
“I was with my beloved wife, we were in Paris staying at this…beautiful hotel. I was publicizing some movie, I can’t remember, but we’re walking through the corridor, and there were two elderly ladies and their husbands, they stood up as we passed and this lady came to us “excuse me, can I interrupt you for a second?
“I said ‘of course’ she says “well our husbands are about to go to the Normandy Beaches, 50th anniversary, they haven’t been there since the battle” and I was like I’m already coming out in goosebumps, and she says ‘we’ve admired your work so much’… so she’s talking away and these gentleman, they’re still standing out of respect,” Neeson explained. He continued on to say that the elderly woman asked him to sign something for them, and before Neeson was about to sign his signature, the woman said “we loved you in The English Patient.”
“So I singed it to Mildred and John, lots of love, Ralph Fiennes,” he explained as the crowd started to roar with laughter.
“There’s no way I could burst their bubble,” he added. YouTube users took to the comments of the post to point out that as soon as Neeson mentioned his former wife, his tone switched gears, as his voice went soft.
“I love how he pauses, “my beloved wife…” Gosh he loved her,” said one user. “That moment he takes takes before saying “beloved wife” just breaks my heart,” a person added.
“I love how he talks about his late wife…You can feel the love and respect he has for her,” another wrote.
