Actor Liam Neeson reveals how he coped growing up during the Troubles
The actor hails from Ballymena, Co Antrim Actor Liam Neeson has revealed how he coped with growing up in Northern Ireland during the Troubles. During a press tour for his brand new film The Naked Gun 2, the 73-year-old Ballymena man told Rolling Stone that 'escape' was very important to him amid the political turmoil. When asked about whether comedy played an important role in his life during the violence, Neeson said: 'Certainly cinema was a big release, comedy or not. It was a turbulent time. And escape was very, very important. 'School sports,' he added. 'I was an amateur boxer as a kid.' Neeson was born in Co Antrim in 1952, and grew up as a Catholic in the predominantly protestant town of Ballymena. He has previously said that growing up during the Troubles was 'part of his DNA.' "I never stop thinking about [the Troubles]. I've known guys and girls who have been perpetrators of violence and victims. Protestants and Catholics,' he said, at the premiere of 'Five Minutes of Heaven' in 2009. Starring Liam Neeson and James Nesbitt, the film is about the historical murder of 17-year-old Jim Griffin by UVF member Alistair Little. Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson Amid the current press tour for his latest film, reports have suggested that the actor is dating fellow Naked Gun star Pamela Anderson. Sources have confirmed a romance began between the couple after sparks flew while filming in Atlanta. One insider added that Liam and 58-year-old Pamela are 'enjoying each other's company' as they hit the promo trail. The Daily Mail has quoted claims that Pam is very drawn to Liam as 'he is totally open to her way of thinking and living'. 'She has been telling friends he is smitten and does a lot of sweet things for her, like sending her flowers, and spending time with her sons and dogs,' the insider said. According to this source, the pair have managed to keep long-distance romance private by spending time at her house in Canada where she 'cooks and gardens at home. 'It's wholesome and appealing and very un-Hollywood and Liam loves that,' the insider added. During a recent appearance on the Today show, host Craig Melvin asked: 'What's the deal here? You're both single, there's chemistry… are you two an item?' Pamela pretended she didn't understand the question while Liam offered a vague answer. "I had never met Pamela before. We met on set. And we discovered we had a lovely, budding chemistry – as two actors, it's like, 'Oh, this is nice. Let's not mull this. Let's just let it breathe.' And that's what we did,' he added. The host teased that 'America's here for it,' calling it 'the beginning of the breathing of a budding relationship.' Liam responded, 'We're both silly. We discovered a silly bone in each other,' adding, 'It was great to be with this lady, seriously. Every day was a joy.' Liam Neeson News in 90 Seconds - Tuesday, August 5th
