NEESON URGES AMERICAN PARENTS TO LET THEIR KIDS GO TRAVELLING
Movie star LIAM NEESON has urged American parents to let their kids see more of the world - so they can become balanced adults.

The Rob Roy star admits he's looking forward to letting his two sons go and explore the world when they turn 18 and Americans should also embrace the idea of allowing teens to travel.
He says, "My wife and I both plan, when our kids turn 18, to show them the door and tell them there's a big wide world out there, go and see some of it.
"I'll put my foot in my mouth and say that American parents are too over-protective. If kids travelled a little bit more and saw a little bit more of the world, there'd be a lot more tolerance of other cultures, nations and countries."
And the actor admits he was "a late bloomer" when it comes to world travelling: "I left Ballymena in Ireland and travelled down to Dublin and made it over to England, but I kept very close to home.
"As much as I romantically would've loved to have hitch-hiked around Europe, I was a late bloomer. I didn't do that until quite late - like last year."
