"Some mornings you wake up and think, gee I look handsome today. Other days I think, what am I doing in the movies? I wanna go back to Ireland and drive a forklift."
~ Liam Neeson
Liam Neeson reeks of manliness and toughness, perhaps that's why he almost always gets such roles in movies. Anyway, a small part of it is due to his height as well. Tall people for some reason look more dangerous than the short ones. Maybe bigness (which is different from tallness) has something to do with it - and Mr. Neeson is pretty big.
Liam Neeson once claimed to be slightly over 6'4" tall in the Conan late-night talk show. He looked that tall most of his career - as tall as Steven Seagal. Though age is starting to show its hold even on a person like Liam Neeson. He looks a bit smaller now - just a little bit - now he is exactly as tall as his namesake Liam Hemsworth - what a surprise.
The real height of Liam Neeson is
