5. Liam Neesons Phobias
Considering the requirements of the role, you might be surprised to learn that Liam Neeson has a fairly unhelpful phobia. Despite the roof-top sequence in Taken 2, Neeson admits that he suffers from acrophobia, and that he feels uneasy standing on anything as high as a shag pile carpet. Inevitably he doesnt do any of his stunts, but has a frank way of keeping in shape to help sell the illusion that he could:
"I don't do my own stunts. I do my own fighting, which I don't regard as a stunt, but my dear friend and stunt double Mark Vanselow does all my heavy duty stuff the usual things. I keep fit as much as I can. Just my own private stuff. Lots of sex.
