'Even my shoelaces changed': Liam Neeson on becoming a father

The image is almost comically ordinary: a father bending down to tie his shoelaces. But for Liam Neeson, even that tiny daily ritual became evidence that something fundamental had shifted. In a new interview with PEOPLE, the actor said fatherhood changed everything about him, down to “tying my bootlaces.”That may sound like an odd thing to remember about becoming a parent. But it captures something many parents eventually recognise: having a child does not simply add another responsibility to your day. It can quietly change the way you move through the entire day.“I’m a father. I have two boys, 30 and 31 years of age, Irish twins,” The Fix actor told PEOPLE. “I know my acting, forgive me for saying it, has improved by the fact that I’m a father. Everything, even tying my bootlaces has changed the day I became a father.
