Liam Neeson is one of the action movie actors that many people love, but few people know the tragic life behind his career.

After the movie “Taken” aired, the name Liam Neeson became a new phenomenon of the action movie genre in world cinema. His typical image is that of a single-handed hero fighting against the underworld.

Liam Neeson is the name that guarantees success in close combat martial arts films thanks to his reputation and dedication.

More specifically, the male actor did not use a body double to perform eye-catching action scenes on screen. Even though he is 67 years old, Liam Neeson still says no to stuntmen.

However, in contrast to the glory of his career, Liam Neeson’s life is full of tragedy and tears.

Fired for assaulting a student

Few people know that, before becoming an actor, Liam Neeson was a teacher.

After failing in his boxing career, he followed in his two sisters’ footsteps to study education at St Mary’s University in Fenham, Newcastle.

During his internship at a high school, Liam Neeson encountered an ironic situation during his first class.

While Liam Neeson was giving a lecture, there was a big, chubby boy causing trouble in class. He tried to tell the boy to keep quiet but could not.

Liam Neeson approached when suddenly the boy pulled a knife from his pocket and pressed it at the actor.

Feeling the danger and also because he was too surprised, Liam swung his fist to knock the boy down.

Although this was just self-defense, injuring a teenager was completely inappropriate. Liam Neeson was fired and expelled from the teaching profession.

“I think it was the most difficult period of my life. You know, teaching is not an easy job, especially when you are standing in the middle of a group of 12-13 year olds” – Liam Nesson in an interview with an American television station.

In 2000, Liam Neeson almost died in a motorbike accident near his home in New York. According to the New York Post, the actor was driving an 89 Harley Davidson motorbike when he suddenly lost control.

Liam jumped out of the car and fell down an embankment right before the car crashed hard into a large tree on the side of the road.

Despite serious injuries to his head and back, Liam Neeson still tried to crawl up the street to ask for help. Fortunately, he was later taken to the hospital by a passerby.

Doctors injected Liam with lots of morphine. Later when he recovered, he remembered them as a magic medicine. Liam Neeson recalls the life-and-death moment: “I didn’t think I could survive that accident . ”

Personally ended his wife’s life

In 2009, Neeson’s wife, actress Natasha Richardson, died after a fall while skiing in Quebec, Canada. At that time, the actor was filming the movie “Taken 1” so he could not go with his wife.

Married since 1994, Liam Neeson and his wife live happily together.

Thinking it was just a normal fall, Liam’s wife was able to stand up on her own and told her husband: “Dear husband, I fell while skiing today.”

However, then everyone panicked when Natasha Richardson suffered a brain injury.

She did not wear a helmet when skiing. When she fell and hit her hard, her brain was damaged and she gradually fell into a state of brain death.

She was taken to the emergency room at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City but did not survive.

The death of his wife made Liam Neeson extremely depressed.

He does not believe in the truth and avoids all advice. The male actor is often on duty and talks to his wife even though she cannot hear anything.

In his final days, Liam decided to bring his wife home. There is a contract between the actor and his wife, if either falls into a vegetative state, the other is responsible for ending the patient’s life.

Although he loved his wife very much, the male superstar “Taken” had to remove the breathing tube to end his wife’s life.
