Liam Neeson is giving you a tour behind the curtains, and believe us, it's just as no-holds-barred as you'd expect. From Star Wars bloopers to candid views on UFC, Neeson is, well, classic Neeson. The actor, starring in the latest film "Marlowe", sat with Men's Health and boy, did he deliver some golden moments!
A Lightsaber's "Dzhhhhhhewww" and Star Wars Nostalgia
One of the many gems from this tête-à-tête was Neeson's trip down the Star Wars lane. “The lightsaber fight in The Phantom Menace. Ewan McGregor and myself... We pulled out lightsabers out and went ‘dzhhhhhhewww.’" As reported by Men's Health, turns out, George Lucas had to remind the duo that the sound effects were added in post-production! Their reaction? "We felt like twats."
Neeson's Straight Punches on UFC and McGregor
No celebrity interview is complete without a dash of controversy. Liam Neeson's strong views on UFC and Conor McGregor made sure of that. In his own words, "That little leprechaun Conor McGregor, he gives Ireland a bad name. I hate it." There you have it folks, Neeson’s unfiltered take!
The Irish Diet: More Than Just Potatoes
Ever wondered what fuels Liam Neeson? Wonder no more. The actor dished out on his diet, marking 28 years without cigarettes and a year without meat. His mantra? "[I eat] fruits and vegetables... And I make sure there’s always a potato on my plate." Ah, the Irish touch!
Acquired Skills: From Fly-Fishing Knots to Boiling Eggs
Liam Neeson, the man with a particular set of skills! Well, some unexpected ones, to be precise. Neeson humorously states, “I tie very good fly-fishing knots. I can boil an egg... If it’s an ostrich egg: eight to ten minutes.” Clearly, it's not all about rescuing people in perilous situations.
As for a potential appearance in a Star Wars spinoff? Neeson's answer was succinct and to the point: “No.”
In a world of rehearsed replies, it's refreshing to see stars like Liam Neeson keeping it as real as a perfectly boiled egg. And while Neeson may claim he gives 'zero fucks', we certainly give a lot about this candid, entertaining chat.
