10 Famous Actors Who Have Extremely Weird Tics In Every Movie

2. Liam Neeson Always Reverts To His Normal Accent

Well, you've got to hand it to him for giving it a go, at least. That's to say, Liam Neeson doesn't seem all that fussed when it comes to accents. No matter what movie he's in, or whatever accent he's supposed to be doing, the actor will always go back to speaking in his regular voice partway through the movie. Seriously: he'll start off doing a bad American accent in something (Taken, for example), and then it will disappear entirely at a random point in said film, almost as if Neeson - fed up with trying - looked in the mirror and said: "Ah, f*ck it. Who cares?" And it's true: nobody cares what accent Neeson is doing, and he's one of very few actors who - for some reason - gets away with being able to talk with a constant Irish tinge, despite roles that make no sense with it at all. It's not that he doesn't try; he's just not very good at accents, and assumedly always forgets that he's supposed to be doing them. Take the following Neeson compilation, which highlights a ton of Neeson roles which should technically showcase a bunch of varying accents. And though in many cases Neeson makes an attempt at the right accent to begin with, he abandons it soon enough. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=461nuvHE-Ec
