Neeson explained: “I love doing them.

“I’ve just finished [Blacklight] in Australia and I had a fight scene with a kid – lovely, sweet actor called Taylor – and halfway through the fight I looked up, I was breathless and it didn’t cost him a cent!

“I said, ‘Taylor, what age are you?’ He said, ’25.

“I said, ‘That’s the age of my eldest son!'”
