Liam Neeson and Helen Mirren: The Love Story

The love story of Liam Neeson and Helen Mirren kicked off back in 1981 when both the stars met each other on the set of the film Excalibur. For Neeson, it was love at first sight as he was smitten by Mirren’s beauty and style.

However, after dating each other from 1981 to 1985, the couple parted ways. Talking about their breakup, Mirren said, “I was well known; I had the money.” Of course, that would soon change, but Mirren “had a sense from Liam that it was time for him to come out from under my wing.”
