Voice of Aslan in Dawn Treader to be an American

ABC’s Good Morning America talked with Liam Neeson today and informs us that he is now an American citizen.

Neeson’s wife, actress Natasha Richardson, died in March at the age of 45 after falling during a skiing lesson and suffering a head injury. The actor said that he and sons Michael, 12, and Daniel, 13, are “taking each day as it comes.”

“I’m still getting extraordinary condolence letters from American people that’s deeply touching,” he said.

He said that was part of the reason for his recent decision to become an American citizen.

“I’ve been living here for 20 years and America’s been very very good to me,” he said. “I’m still a proud Irishman, of course, but I’ve become an American citizen. I’m very, very proud of that.”
