Liam Neeson sets the record straight on his “incredibly famous” new love

It's been days of guessing after Taken star Liam Neeson revealed he is dating again, seven years after the death of his wife, Natasha Richardson

Earlier this week Liam Neeson revealed he’s dating an “incredibly famous” woman, but wouldn’t be drawn on her identity.

“I’d embarrass her if I said her name, she’s incredibly famous,” the Taken actor told the Irish Independent.

But now the 63-year-old has set the record straight telling reporters he was just joking when he said his new partner was a superstar.

The Mirror reports a rep for the star confirmed: “He was joking with the writer during an interview he was doing with the Irish Independent.”

So all the rumours about Liam snuggling up to Susan Sarandon are null.

But, the rep confirmed Liam is in a relationship, seven years after his with Natasha Richardson suffered a head injury while skiing in 2009.

Neeson told the Irish Independent his plans for Valentine’s Day.

“I’ll have to do my best for her. It’s amazing how far a simple bunch of freshly picked flowers will go in a lady’s life, I find.”

However, she might not be the only lucky lady to receive some flowers on the 14th of February.

“I’ll send out a few bunches of flowers to various people and I usually just say ‘from an Irish admirer.’”
