Liam Neeson had quite the time in Melbourne, Australia, while shooting his new film “Blacklight” in 2020.
The actor spoke to “Sunrise” hosts David Koch and Natalie Barr on Monday, sharing of his time in the city: “I loved Melbourne. I loved our Australian crew, [they are] fantastic workers.
“Every department was superb. They were their own people, do you know what I mean? They had a great sense of humour.”
Neeson added: “I made a couple of pals, I fell in love once there, but she was taken,” insisting he was looking forward to returning Down Under.
