Actor Liam Neeson: The older the ginger, the spicier it becomes
His muscular 1.93m tall body and gentle Irish voice have made the career of 60-year-old movie actor Liam Neeson.
He has been honored many times by receiving nominations for the Oscar, BAFTA and three Golden Globe awards.
During his film career, Neeson has collaborated with many world-famous directors such as: Spielberg, Scorsese, Woody Allen, George Lucas; Incarnate into characters that are both real (Oskar Schindler in Schindler’s list, Michael Collins in Michael Collins, Alfred Kinsey in Kinsey), and fictional (Qui-Gon Jinn in Star wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace, Ra’s al Ghul in Batman begins and The Dark Knight rises, Pastor Vallon in Gangs of New York).
His role as former American spy Bryan Mills fighting criminals to rescue his kidnapped daughter in the 2008 film Taken not only put him on the A-list actor list, but also created a completely heroic image.
new. After Taken, he took on important roles such as: Zeus in Clash of the Titans, Hannibal in The A-Team, Admiral Shane in the blockbuster Battleship and Ottway in The Gray.
* After years of diligently devoting himself to art, it seemed like it was time for Liam Neeson to rest.
However, besides passion, what is the reason why you return to cinema?
– Lately, I’ve read many storylines after part 1 of Taken came out and I don’t have faith in those storylines.
However, I am very interested in the idea this time.
I researched it and thought it might work this time so I decided to join.
I don’t want to reveal too much about the movie’s content, but I think Taken 2 will be a reasonable sequel to Taken.
* Part one was released in 2008, a time when the world was facing great challenges, people seemed to feel helpless and this was the man who could take control of the situation?
– That’s right, the audience saw a man who doesn’t need to call the police when he gets into trouble and also doesn’t need help from the authorities, he can control himself in any situation.
I think this is the reason why people praise this man, because in reality in real life we are being turned into useless people by the leadership.
* The question now is what the filmmaking team must do so that Taken 2 can be as successful as the last time. Do you feel pressure?
– After the success of part one, I think everyone will look forward to part two.
And one thing I can be sure of is that the audience will feel 5 times more excited and surprised when watching part one.
They can also see the touching love story between not only me and Maggie Grace (who plays my daughter), but also with Famke Janssen (who plays my wife). She plays a huge role in this movie.
Hopefully those elements will help attract the audience. I couldn’t have finished the film without them.
* Although it is known that he has practiced many martial arts skills, does the age of 60 limit him from meeting the new requirements in this film?
– I think I can do quite well. Staying fit and healthy is my first rule.
In addition, I also had to increase my practice of sit-ups and push-ups for part 2.
However, like everyone, I was a little careless and flustered in some situations, but overall I still felt satisfied with my efforts.
* Did you get injured with this role?
– It’s not too heavy. In the first part, I had to cry a few times because of a tendon injury. This second part is also a similar injury.
However, nothing serious. There was a fight scene near the end of the movie that we had to practice every day, in which my opponent and I dropped our weapons and fought hand-to-hand.
I train with my instructor Alain Figlarz, a former US special forces officer.
He was very enthusiastic in teaching me. My co-star and I had to do a quick fight scene with our own fists.
At first we performed the movements slowly, then gradually increased the speed day by day.
When it came time for the official filming, we had to do it at breakneck speed and a scene had to be repeated up to three times in order for three or four cameras to record simultaneously.
Then we move on to another scene of the fight. It took two days to complete this fight.
Then we had to stay in a “Hammam”, a Turkish sauna, built 500 years ago and still operating today.
It was a place we couldn’t imagine. Even though they turned off the heating system two days before we filmed, it was still very hot.
I think I had to lose nearly 2kg for this scene.
In addition, there is a chase with a spectacular scene on the roof.
That scene is 100% real, not special effects. Even the scene where we tumble around the cars and
