The Story Behind the Scarf

Bild
In the last few days, in various Liam Neeson fake accounts on Facebook, a photo appeared that shows Liam with a colorful scarf. Most adventurous stories have been written about it. I never post any stories from or about Liam unless I have checked the background first. I found the whole story that this scarf tells in an online edition of a British magazine. The article begins with the words: 'Liam Neeson receives very special gift from comedian Janey Godleyas the Scottish star knits Hollywood actor a scarf a mind terminal cancer battle'  The 63-year-old comedian Janey Godley has terminal cancer and a few days ago Janey shared two photos on her Instagram account showing Liam wrapped in a colorful scarf. Janey wrote under the photos, ' The Liam Neeson scarf has arrived in New York and he loves it ', Last March, Janey revealed on her BBC podcast 'The C Bomb' that she was knitting a scarf for Liam after finding out he was a fan of her voiceove

It's still a Fear-Love

  In the 1994 interview that I discovered a few days ago, Liam also spoke about his childhood and youth:  "I grew up in Ballymena, a small town in Northern Ireland, and my sport was boxing. Father Darragh, my parish priest had two pairs of boxing gloves. So three times a week we, seven or eight boys and I, would clear the bingo cards off the floor of the church hall, put the chairs in a square and form pairs," Liam said in the interview... ... enthuse with a smile, " I was always kind of excited about it and looked forward to these afternoons. But those afternoons also scared the hell out of me. Even when I smell boxing gloves nowadays, I am still overcome by the 'fear-love' that I associate with this sport. I love and fear the nudity and purity of this sport. There is simply nothing you can hide behind." "I was Northern Ireland champion three years in a row. In my third championship fight, which I fought when I was f

Liam about Marlon Brando

Bild
A few days ago I discovered an interview that Liam gave during the filming of "Rob Roy". I enjoyed reading this interview, because Liam's wonderful wife Natasha was also present at the interview and talked about herself and Liam. I'll come back to that in a later blog entry.  Today I will write about the part where Liam talked about Marlon Brando:   "I've just read his autobiography, in which he also talks about his movie 'Apocalypse Now' . A movie based on Conrad's 'Heard of Darkness' . One of "my favorite novels".  "I remember watching the movie and thinking 'God, Brando is the book. He's previously studied it well. His performance is silent. And then I heard that Brando never bothered to read the book. I think the production company made it up to promote the movie. " "In the autobiography, Brando's manager talks about Marlon's reaction when he heard that he had

About a new film

Bild
Oh dear, it's been over a month since I wrote something here. This blog is so important to me. But sometimes things happen that life didn't foresee. At least I continued working on my little series about Liam on my Instagram account. It now has 181 parts and I'm proud of it.  I have also been paying attention in recent weeks to the many imposters who are doing a lot of bad things using Liam's name. I am currently putting everything together and will report on it in another post here.  But today I will write about Liam's next film, which will be released in November "Thug" I'm using the wording I used in my post today on Instagram, plus some passages from an interview Liam gave in March, which I'm only writing here.  After it was announced last weekthat the movie "Thug" will premiere in American cinemas on November 1st, I would like to tell you a little bit about the content today: "Thug" or &q

How Liam became the narrator of War Of the Worlds

Bild
"War of the world" I bought the album 1978 LP. I had saved up the money with great effort, because the pocket money I got was very small. Thirty marks back then: one mark for every day. The double album costs well over thirty marks, and since I also had to pay for other things with the money, I had to save for a long time before I could buy "War of the Worlds" with the voice of Richard Burton.  Later during my training, when I had a little more money, I bought the German version of "War of the Worlds". Here the German actor Curt Jürgens took on the role of the narrator and journalist George Herbert. Jürgens and Burton were both on the same level in their roles. Unfortunately, both albums were thrown in the trash by my ex. The album with Burton is fortunately still available, but the version with Jürgens is irretrievably lost to me this day.  I think it was mid-2011 when I first read that Jeff Wayne had revised the story a little and was plannin

We were like Fred and Ginger

Liam's sister-in-law Joely Richardson shared this beautiful photo on her Instagram account a few days ago. Joely wrote, among other things, under the photo:" This is where I spent my holidays for the first 50 years of my life. In the Van region of France . My ( Tony Richardson 1928-1991 , an information from the Blogger) was the custotian  - no central heating,  no TV. I think that's why my sister Tash and I became actors - rainy holidays spent inventing shows,  singing songs,  making hotch potch costumes. We grew up there, and much later so did our children ..." At the end of her comment Joely wrote:" But after Tasha left it was never the same for me. We'd liter ally dreamt our lives there. We sold it some years ago. It wasn't so much like the closing of a chapter  - more like the book's binding had gone." ❤️ Thank you so much , dear Joely,  for the beautiful photo and the warm-hearted memories you wrote underneath.❤️
