Welcome to The List,
Happy Monday!! Today we start with some behind the scenes with Liam Neeson and his movie “Taken” remember the “Very particular set of skills” speech? Well Liam had NO IDEA it would become such an iconic speech. In fact, when he was delivering those lines, he actually thought they were CORNY. Quote, “It was a cornball. I really did feel that. It’s nice to be proven wrong.” So you can imagine after he delivered the line, he looks at the director and they both start laughing…
