Liam Neeson claimed he found love on the set of his newest film, Blacklight.

However, there’s the issue the woman in question was “taken.”


This led to a joke that comedian Amy Schumer couldn’t help but make.

She shared a screenshot of the article on her Instagram with her joke.

Neeson told the Australian news source, Sunrise about his time filming in the country. In 2020, he was in Melbourne to film Blacklight.

The actor said:

“I loved Melbourne, I love all of our Australian crew, they are fantastic workers. Every department was superb.”

However, it was his next admission that had people’s jaws on the floor.

“I made a couple of pals there, I fell in love, but she was taken.”

Neeson didn’t give any more information about who the woman is, but the Sunrise co-hosts did try asking viewers to let them know if they had any idea who she might be.

However, Schumer went in a different direction, suggesting tracking her down should be the plot of the next film in the Taken franchise.

Her Instagram post got some great reactions all around.

Some people were happy for Neeson, who tragically lost his wife in a 2009 skiing accident.

While he couldn’t be with her, there’s something nice about the ability to fall in love again.

However, others were concerned that Neeson’s admission would hurt the woman’s marriage. How many women could have befriended Neeson in 2020?

Would it be easy to figure out if you’re the woman’s spouse?

But mostly, people just loved Schumer’s idea for another Taken film.

Neeson’s time in Australia also included a group of Irish nurses who tried to make him feel at home.

He described the situation, saying:

“I would get calls from the nurses who would say ‘Mr Neeson, we’ve just taken some Irish bread we’ve cooked out of the oven, can we bring you some?’
“And sure enough there were five or six nurses all in PPE gear with a plate of bread or Irish scones, which was terribly sweet.”

Blacklight, a thriller where Neeson portrays a fixer for compromised undercover agents, opens this month.

It's the holidays again, which of course means the yearly tradition of Christians having a meltdown about supposedly being persecuted by the existence of non-Jesusy Christmas stuff is back with a vengeance.

But the latest flap online is really a doozy in its audacity both because it's incredibly dumb and also a lie, obviously posted as a purposeful attempt to get attention.

Massachusetts Catholic Church Angers Conservatives With Its Brutal ICE-Themed Nativity Scene

The Christian Bible teaches that the Holy Family—Joseph, Mary, and Jesus—were residents of the Herodian ruled Nazareth, Galilee. Having traveled back to Joseph's ancestral home—Roman ruled Bethlehem, Judea—for the census, Mary and Joseph, in modern American parlance, would have been homeless immigrants/tourists having an "anchor baby" at the time of Jesus' birth.

While Joseph considered Galilee his immediate family's home, the trio would eventually flee to Egypt as refugees to escape from King Herod.

Trump Ripped After Forcing National Parks To Drop Free Entry On MLK Day And Juneteenth For Infuriating Reason

President Donald Trump was criticized after the National Park Service announced it will be dropping Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth for next year's calendar of free-entry days and adding Trump's birthday, which happens to fall on Flag Day, on June 14.

Last month, the Department of the Interior unveiled changes to what it now calls its “resident-only patriotic fee-free days,” expanding the calendar to include new dates like the Fourth of July weekend and President Theodore Roosevelt’s birthday, while dropping others that had honored the department itself, including the Bureau of Land Management’s anniversary.
