Early life
Richardson was born in Dublin, Ireland, to actors Liam Neeson and Natasha Richardson, in 1995.[1] He comes from the Redgrave family; a long line of actors on his mothers' side, being the grandson of actress Vanessa Redgrave and filmmaker Tony Richardson. He is the great-grandson of Michael Redgrave and Rachel Kempson, nephew of Joely Richardson, grandnephew of actress Lynn Redgrave and actor Corin Redgrave,[2] and first cousin once removed of Jemma Redgrave.
Career
After appearing in Brady Corbet's 2018 film Vox Lux,[3] Richardson played his father's character's son in Cold Pursuit (2019), and a remake of the 2014 Norwegian crime thriller In Order of Disappearance.[4]
Richardson appeared alongside his father again in Made in Italy (2020), a film about grief and familial relationships. Both were touched by the script by James D’Arcy and the parallels with their own experiences with grief.[5][6]
In 2021, Richardson played the lead role in the Sophie Lane Curtis film On Our Way[7] and was attached to The Rising: 1916,[8][9] a film about the Easter Rising being developed by co-writers Kevin McCann and Colin Broderick.[10][11][12]
Personal life
Richardson took his mother's surname nine years after her accidental death in order to honour her and her side of the family.[13]
