Who is afraid of Liam Neeson?
Liam Neeson, who has starred in Schindler’s List, Star Wars, Batman Begins and Taken, is believed to have attended the now-closed St Mary’s College, in Fenham, Newcastle, to train as a teacher before joining the Belfast Lyric Players’ Theatre in 1976.
But in an interview which has recently resurfaced online, the star said his ‘worst day’ as a teacher came when a pupil threatened him with a knife.
And he left the profession shortly after he punched the 15-year-old, he said.
Although Neeson did not reveal the school where the incident happened, he suggested it took place during his teacher training.
Neeson, who hails from Ballymena, in Northern Ireland, told his US interviewers: “He was a big guy too, about 15 years of age.
He added: “There were always discipline problems, getting them to settle down before you can start to teach them.
“This particular kid did not want to settle down, he wanted to disrupt the whole class.
“So I went over to him and asked him to leave the classroom and stand outside.
“The next thing he pulled a knife on me.
