The big man from Ballymena now aged 72 might have been 007
Liam Neeson has claimed that the producers of James Bond once displayed "interest" in him playing the famous spy, but his girlfriend at the time wasn't too pleased with the possibility.
As the Ballymena native continued his conversation with Conan, the presenter asked him whether the role would have been something he'd have considered if the offer became more concrete: "Yeah, when I first started getting a couple of calls about whether I'd be interested, I said 'yeah, I would be'." Liam first met Natasha in 1993 when the pair were performing on Broadway together. After tying the knot just a year later, the couple later had two children together, Micheal and Daniel, before Natasha died aged just 45 in a tragic skiing accident in 2009.
