Happy Birthday Micheál

Happy birthday dear Michael. I wish you all the best and love for your new year. Stay healthy and the way you are.

Yesterday, when I was looking for a little story to write on the occasion of Micheál's birthday, as the 136th episode of my own Liam Neeson series "One Photo, One Story", I came across an appearance by the two on the Graham Norton Show 2021. It was the second year of the Corona pandemic and Liam and Micheál were joining the show via video chat. Here comes your little discussion on how to pronounce Micheál's name correctly: 
In March 2021, Micheál and Liam visited the Graham Norton Show, and discussed the pronunciation of Micheál's name. Liam explained that he promounces the name differently than his son:
"I use the pronunciation of my son's name as 'my-kall', explained Liam to Graham Norton. While Micheál has decribed the pronunciation of his first name sounds like, ""It's 'me' as in myself and then 'hall' as in hallway. So It's 'Me-hall'. "


In an interview about their joint film "Cold Pursuit", Liam said about working with Micheál, " The movie gave us both a unique opportunity to spend some quality time together. We didn't have to pretend to have a relationship, do you know what I mean? For some other strange actors to pretend he is my son. Micheál is my son and he has got some of my body language and I have some of his, so I think that comes across. It was a no-brainer with regard to acting with him. Micheál was born during the filming of "Micheal Collins", in Holles Street Hospital, in Dublin."

 A few years ago, Micheál gave a very honest and open interview to a German magazine in which he talked about his alcohol and drug addiction: 
He told," Her death was disturbing for me and made me fall into alcohol and drug addiction years later. I had barely grown out of childhood and suppessed my feelings by partying excessively ", Micheál told and continued, "I had already hit rock bottom in 2014. I wouldn't have been able to get out of it without the help of my dad and my brother Daniel, as well as a stay in a rehab clinic. It finally helped me to conquer my inner demons. I took my mother's surname in 2018. Because I want to keep my mom close to me."
❤️🇮🇪🍀💚🤍🧡
Maidin mhaith a stór Liam, guím lá iontach síochánta oraibh agus tá súil agam go mbeidh cupán tae ag an mbeirt againn le chéile go luath. 
Tabhair aire mhaith duit féin agus fan sláintiúil. 
❤️🇮🇪🍀💚🤍🧡

How I Became a Liam Neeson Fan!

Bild
I have been a Steven Spielberg fan since the 1970s. Almost from the very first hour, and I eagerly awaited all of his films.  When Steven Spielberg first talked about making a film about Oskar Schindler around 1990, I was thrilled. Because I had learned a lot about this remarkable person at school.  When the name Liam Neeson was mentioned my first reaction was 'Liam who?'  I had never heard of this, what was the name, Liam Neeson... and believe me, it was the early 1990s. A completely different decade... No, a completely different century. No internet where you could quickly look up who this certain Liam Neeson is! You had to wait until some specialist magazine for the cinema world appeared. No matter whether printed in German or English.  This is how the information was obtained at the time!  When the film "Schindler's List" finally came out in 1994, I went to the cinema three times in one week. The first time because it was a Steven Spielberg film an

Natasha about her mother

When Natasha was asked:" What was it like to see your mother, Vanessa Redgrave, on stage or screen when you were growing up?" Natasha answered:" Well, I didn't see her much on stage, because at that period of her life I don't think she was on stage much. I think it had a profound effect on me. I took it very real, but not only because she's such a great actress, but, you know, when I'd see her as "Isadora" ,you know, died at the end, I'd get doubly upset.  And my mother would say,' no, it's okay, I'm here. ' And I'd say, ' Well,I know you're here, but it's a true story  ,and that really happened and it's upsetting me,.' But I just love, you know, I just loved watching her movies. I loved- I've always been, you know, I could eat movies for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I mean, I need them like a drug! And I used to watch always old Judy Garland movies, and Marilyn Monroe movies and Katherine Hepburn
