After experiencing the heartbreak of losing his cherished wife Natasha Richardson two years ago, it appears that Liam Neeson, the star of Schindler’s List and Taken, has found joy once more while vacationing in the south of France with his girlfriend Freya St Johnston.
Yesterday, the couple seemed deeply in love as they enjoyed a stroll at Club 55, a stylish and artistic beach club and restaurant favored by celebrities like U2’s Bono and Jack Nicholson.
Looking delighted, 59-year-old Liam affectionately wrapped his arm around Freya’s neck and held her shoulder, while she looked lovely in a floral halter-necked floor-length maxi dress.
Freya, a PR girl, completed her chic summer outfit with oversized brown sunglasses, her blonde hair pulled back but with a few strands softly framing her face.
Meanwhile, Liam appeared relaxed and content in a loose-fitting white shirt paired with grey cotton slacks and deck shoes.
Embracing the easygoing Mediterranean lifestyle, he opted to forgo shaving, showcasing trendy salt-and-pepper stubble while sharing laughter and jokes with friends at the club.
Since meeting through mutual friends in the film industry last September, the couple has been enjoying daytime temperatures soaring to 27° at the French resort.
At one moment, they exchanged playful smiles as they tousled the hair of a young boy in their group on the beach.
Currently, Liam is on a break from filming but is expected to return to the set for the upcoming Batman film, The Dark Knight Rises, anticipated to be a summer blockbuster next year, and he’s rumored to have a role in it.
He has recently completed filming several movies, including The Grey, an action thriller set to premiere in January, Clash Of The Titans 2, scheduled for March next year, and the sci-fi film Battleship, which will be released in May 2012.
Liam’s marriage to the late Natasha was considered one of the most robust in the entertainment industry.
They tied the knot in 1994 and remained together until her passing at the age of 45 in March 2009, following a severe brain hemorrhage just hours after she fell while skiing in Canada.
Together, they are the proud parents of two sons, Michael, 16, and Daniel, 15.
