Summary

Liam Neeson, at 73, continues his prolific acting career, recently starring in the horror-comedy 'Cold Storage.' The film, described as a peculiar date-night movie, blends gore with humor. Neeson's involvement in 'Cold Storage' is particularly meaningful due to a connection with his mother-in-law, Vanessa Redgrave, who makes a cameo in the film. Though they didn't share scenes, Neeson felt a personal tie, referring to the project as 'our movie.'
Neeson admits he is not a fan of horror films, finding them too scary. However, the script for 'Cold Storage,' written by acclaimed screenwriter David Koepp, captivated him. He described the script as a page-turner, highlighting its enjoyable humor. The film's blend of terror and absurdity appealed to him, passing his 'cup of tea test.'
When discussing his filmography, Neeson expresses a reluctance to watch himself on screen, often noting his perceived overacting. However, he makes an exception for 'Love Actually,' citing Hugh Grant's opening monologue as particularly moving. He also spoke about his approach to maintaining his action-star physique at 73, downplaying intense daily gym routines.
Neeson attributes his survival of a serious motorcycle accident 25 years ago to his physical wellness, stating, 'Health is wealth.' He believes commitment to one's health is crucial for professional responsibilities. Among his many roles, Neeson considers the 1996 historical drama 'Michael Collins' a project that deserved more recognition, valuing its important story about Irish political history.
