Publicists at the New York screening of Neeson's new film, Five Minutes Of Heaven, told members of the press all personal questions were strictly off-limits.
The Oscar-nominated star and father-of-two children with Richardson was asked what his version of heaven would be.
The 57-year-old said it was being with his boys, adding that he was "kind of living it at the moment".
In Five Minutes Of Heaven, Neeson plays a former member of an outlawed Northern Ireland paramilitary group who is haunted by memories of murder.
The film also stars fellow Northern Irish actor James Nesbitt.
It had its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year.
Natasha Richardson died in March after falling during a skiing lesson and suffering a head injury. She was 45.
