Following the lead of that other fine, British actor, Sir Anthony Hopkins who took up the offer in April 2000, the charismatic stage and movie actor, Liam Neeson has now become a United States citizen. Following the death of his wife, Natasha Richardson, in March of this year, the 57-year old Irish-born actor says he’s still proud of his roots, but the support he’s received from the American people since losing Natasha has convinced him to become one of us, “That is partly why I’ve recently become an American citizen,” the UK’s Daily Telegraph quotes him as saying.’ “I’m still a proud Irishman, of course, but I’ve become an US citizen – I’m very proud of that.” Asked how he and his two sons, Michael, 14, and 13-year old Daniel were coping, Liam became more reserved, “To be honest, we are taking each day as it comes,” he confessed. “But we’re doing okay.”
