LIAM NEESON raised eyebrows when he went back to work on his new film “Chloe” just a week after wife NATASHA RICHARDSON’s shocking death, but friends applauded his decision.
“He needs to work, throw himself into his work,” said one close pal, who explained that even in the best of times, Neeson’s prone to fits of the blues that worsen if he resorts to battling them with a bottle.
“It’s best he stays busy,” said another friend. “He has a tendency to push people away. At a time like this, Liam needs to surround himself with people more than ever.”
