The word “taken” has different meanings for Liam Neeson.
The Academy Award-nominated action star didn’t get the girl of his dreams on the set of his latest film, “Blacklight.”
While handling publicity chores for the film, Neeson revealed to the Australian TV show “Sunrise” that he “fell in love” with a crew member, “but she was taken.”
The 69-year-old didn’t elaborate, but added, “I look forward to going back, I really do.”
The Northern Irish actor was married to Tony Award-winning actress Natasha Richardson from 1994 to 2009, when she died after suffering a severe head injury in a skiing accident in Quebec.
They couple had two sons, Micheál, 26, and Daniel, 25.
Neeson lived with Helen Mirren for several years in the 1980s after the two met on the set of the film “Excalibur.”
The “Schindler’s List” star was romantically linked to self-proclaimed “first supermodel” Janice Dickinson, who dished about his endowment in her 2002 autobiography “No Lifeguard on Duty.”
Since 2008, Neeson has starred in the Luc Besson-produced “Taken” action franchise, which has grossed nearly $1 billion worldwide.
“Blacklight” opens in theaters on Friday.
