Liam Neeson on being given a 'James Bond ultimatum' by late wife Natasha Richardson

Liam Neeson has told how his late wife Natasha Richardson once gave him a "James Bond ultimatum".

The Taken star and Ballymena man, whose new film Marlowe is due to be released in the UK next month, said he had been asked by a director if he'd be interested in the role.

Speaking to Rolling Stone, he said: "I was not offered James Bond. I know the Broccolis. They looked at a bunch of actors. Schindler’s List had come out and Barbara had called me a couple of times to ask if I was interested, and I said, 'Yes, I would be interested.'"
