Liam Neeson becomes Taken with FLY-FISHING after boozing took over his life

Hollywood actor Liam Neeson has revealed he’s swapped boozing for his new favorite hobby – fly-fishing.

The 62-year-old decided to give up alcohol a year ago after finding he was drinking too much following the death of wife Natasha Richardson, and finds fly-fishing meditating.

He said: “When I go out fly-fishing, I stay there for days. It’s very meditative. It’s a constant chess game with these fish and it’s very beautiful.”

The Ballymena native lost his actress wife Natasha Richardson  in a freak skiing accident in March 2009, leaving Liam and their two sons devastated.

But the Irish icon has since thrown himself into work and revealed he’s now feeling happier and healthier than he has in a long time,

And part of that seems to be down to his passion for fly fishing – especially as the star is not a fan of golf.

“I have heard people try to describe the beauty of golf but to me, as George Bernard Shaw said, golf is a good walk spoiled. But fly fishing is terrific,” he revealed.

“It’s a constant chess game with these fish and it’s very beautiful. After 21 years of fly-fishing, I am very basically competent at it. But it’s a joy. I don’t get golf.”
