Liam Neeson says he 'fell in love' with a 'taken' woman whilst shooting latest movie

• Liam Neeson told the Australian morning show "Sunrise" that he "fell in love" in Australia.
• Neeson spoke in the interview about shooting his latest movie "Blacklight" in Melbourne, Australia.

Liam Neeson told the Australian morning show "Sunrise" that he "fell in love" while shooting his latest movie, "Blacklight."

Neeson's wife, actress Natasha Richardson, died in 2009 after suffering a severe head injury in a skiing accident in Canada. The pair got married in 1994 and share two sons, Micheál and Daniel.

While promoting his latest movie on "Sunrise," Neeson talked about falling in love with Melbourne, Australia, and an unnamed woman.

"I loved Melbourne, I loved our Australian crew," Neeson said. "Fantastic workers. Every department was superb but they were their own people."

He continued: "They had a great sense of humor. I made a couple of pals and fell in love once there, but she was taken."

Neeson did not elaborate further on the woman he had fallen for in the interview but added that he was looking forward to going back to the country.

Since his wife's death, the "Taken" star has not been in a public relationship but he has been linked to several women. According to the Daily Mail, the "Batman Begins" actor was in an on-again-off-again relationship with PR executive Freya St. Johnston, which ended in 2012.

During an interview in 2016, Neeson told the Irish Independent that he was dating someone "incredibly famous" but refused to reveal her name. Although his rep eventually told People that Neeson was joking, this did not stop fans from linking the actor to many female stars including Kristen Stewart and January Jones.

"Blacklight," which stars Neeson as a shadowy government agent, is out in theaters on Friday.
