She said: "He's taken, officially, the name of his mother, he's Micheál Richardson, not Micheál Neeson.
She went on to tell the Daily Mail: "That wasn't because he wanted to avoid his father's fame, which is enormous, he wanted to hold his mother close to him — because she was a remarkable actress - absolutely remarkable."

Speaking about Natasha's death, Micheál told Vanity Fair: "I don’t, even still, think that I've fully comprehended it. I think the mind is very powerful, and subconsciously, or unconsciously, it can protect you. That's what it did when she passed, I just pushed it aside and didn’t want to deal with it."
