Actor Liam Neeson, who celebrates his 70th birthday today, has recalled the time he found out that the severe leg cramps that left him in tears of agony were being caused by coffee. The global star from Northern Ireland previously told Radio 5 Live: “The pain made me cry - it was agonising.
"I was getting shooting pains in my leg, cramps in the middle of the night. A friend of mine set me up with this massage therapist who does all the dancers on Broadway and he worked on me.
“He got rid of lactic acid crystals in my leg and afterwards. [The therapist] said ‘do you drink a lot of caffeine?' and I said 'yes I do'.
