In a 2018 episode of The Graham Norton Show, Liam reflected on meeting Mirren, now 79, on the set of the 1981 film Excalibur.
“I remember being on set and standing with Ciaran Hinds when Helen walked towards us in her full Morgana Le Fay outfit and we both said, 'Oh, fuck,' he said. 'I was stunned. I think Ciaran is too,' but I'm very hurt!'
The two stars dated for four years and kept in touch occasionally.
Neeson spoke of their time traveling to the southwest of France: “I remember going to see a bullfight with Helen and it was extraordinary. After seeing the extraordinary acts of bravery and this horrible death, I really had mixed feelings.”
He added: 'At that time we were camping in the Lower Valley. Oh my god, it was wonderful. Helen is a good cook, she cooks things outside with a fire. Excellent.'
Liam's eldest son, Michael, changed his last name to Richardson in 2018 to honor his late actress mother.

Of his son following in his footsteps, the father of two told PEOPLE: 'I think Natasha would be proud. I hope so.'
