In 2020, Liam Neeson worked with his son, Michéal Richardson, on the James D'Arcy film Made in Italy about a man who has lost his wife and who rebuilds his relationship with his estranged son. Obviously, the subject matter was quite close to home for them both. As Richardson told The Times of his own mother's death, "It was so sudden. When it's unexpected and it's just a complete freak accident, it really sort of messes with your mind, whether you believe in fate or not."

When it came to shooting the movie, it was a cathartic experience for both Neeson and his son, who, along with his brother, is all grown up. "It was emotional," he said. And as Neeson told Parade, he enjoyed working with his son in Tuscany. Plus, he said, the film was one of his favorite experiences. "I mean it 1,000 percent," he said. "I've been very, very lucky, and with that, I've created my own luck."
