Working through the pain
It’s his first interview with the Irish Examiner in more than two years. Since our last encounter, he has suffered the sudden and brutal loss of his wife Natasha Richardson in a skiing accident, and there is still a palpable air of melancholy to him. Dressed in a black Armani suit and lilac tee shirt, he looks pale and seems very thin and tired.
“I’m just taking it all one day at a time. The boys are fine, that’s the main thing,” he tells me after a long pause, when I enquire how the family has been since burying his wife and their mother. “They’re teenagers and their main dynamic at the moment, apart from with me, is with their peers, and I try not to interfere with that too much.”
