Liam Neeson Honored as Officer of the Order of the British Empire
The OBE – which stands for Officer of the British Empire – is an honor bestowed by the Queen on individuals who have made a significant accomplishment in business, charity, or the private sector.
In 2000, Liam Neeson received this prestigious award for his services to the art of drama.
Interestingly, he waited two and a half years to pick it up. When he finally did, he told the BBC that he was “really weak-kneed” from nervousness over being in the Queen’s presence. “I’ve not been so nervous since I met Muhammad Ali,” he said.
