While Liam Neeson he returned to the comedy with the The naked gun Restive, it is difficult to forget that he redefined his career by fully going Hero-Hene in Taken.
The gritty thriller not only made it a power to the box office, but also gave us one of the most unforgettable movies of all time. But despite the global love for the franchise, Neeson has revealed something surprising, it is a bit embarrassed.
In a recent interview with the New York Times, the Star Wars: The Phantom Menace AND Schindler list Star confessed: “I was a little embarrassed by Taken. “He continued to admit:“ Don’t get me wrong, I loved the script. But I can’t tell you how many vocal messages [of the Taken speech] I recorded for my children’s friends. “
This is a legendary move of dad.
Even if Neeson has conflicting feelings for the film, his children’s friends are clearly obsessed with TakenAnd who could blame them? That now iconic moment in which Bryan Mills calmly warns the kidnappers of his daughter with “I will find you …” has cemented in the history of pop culture. For an entire generation, that speech is THE Definition of the action movie Mic Drop.
What is wild is that Neeson initially did not think about the project at all. Once he thought Taken He was “trivial” and believed that he would end like a direct release to the video. Instead, he kicked off a new chapter of his career as an unstoppable action star and has led to two sequels, countless imitators and, of course, those personalized voice messages.
The love for the delivery of Neeson steel did not even stop with family friends. There have been talk show segments Jimmy Kimmel Live AND The Graham Norton Show Where fans involved him recreating the speech of the live phone.
A dad even used the threatening monologue to convince his children to clean their rooms, and in a particularly hilarious moment, Neeson once got exploded Taken Co-Star’s ex-boyfriend in full Bryan Mills mode.
Of course, Neeson could shiver the franchise that made it an unlikely action icon, but you can say that it is also in fun.
