“Liam Neeson’s Uncomfortable Encounter: Why the Actor Stopped Attending Church Confessions After Priest’s Outburst”
Liam Neeson, the iconic actor known for his portrayal of Bryan Mills in the Taken series, is eagerly anticipating his upcoming thriller movie. 71-year-old Liam Neeson was born in Ballymena, Northern Ireland, and interestingly, he was named after a local priest.
