Liam Neeson started acting for a girl he liked!
Liam Neeson is an Irish actor who has been part of Star Wars Episode 1, Batman Begins, and the Chronicles of Narnia film series. His other notable roles include Oskar Schindler in Shilndler’s List and Michael Collins in Darkman. He has been nominated for an Oscar, a BAFTA, and three Golden Globes.
And he owes all this to his grade school crush. When Liam was 11, his school was having a play. His English teacher nominated him for the lead role. Now, Liam was reluctant to accept at first, but then he noticed that the girl who would be staring in the play was quite pretty.
He accepted the offer at once. From then on in, he kept acting in school productions. His first major film role was Jesus Christ in Pilgrim’s Progress.
