In the Ukrainian hire there was a film the Passenger in which the British actor plays a leading role. 65-year-old Liam Neeson told Telenedely about the secret of his age, about what he teaches his sons and why he avoids fighting.

The butterfly effect In the thriller "The Passenger" a stranger picks up your character in the train car and puts it before an uneasy choice. Human life depends on his decision ... In the film, we ask ourselves: how far is a person ready to go when his family is in danger. My hero Michael travels the same route to work 10 years. When he was 60, he was fired. He does not know how to confess to this wife. He has already laid down his house twice, his son is going to college soon, but there is no money.

And then a mysterious woman appears, ready to pay $ 100 thousand. for a small service. Nothing portends a danger, the game begins. But the rules it dictates is not it. The tension is growing every minute - and this brings together the "Passenger" with psychological thrillers like "Strangers on the train" Hitchcock.

The film begins with an interesting psychological experience, which eventually causes the "butterfly effect": a sweep of its wings somewhere in Iowa can launch a series of events that will culminate somewhere in Indonesia. Each of our actions has consequences, and even the most seemingly insignificant things are important.

Master of Reincarnation The director of the tape was made by Jaume Collett-Serra. For you this is the fourth joint film. Do you like working with each other?.

Yes, I can practically read his thoughts. It happens, they shot the scene, and Jaume is displeased. And I understand: his claims are not to my interpretation of the image, but to the dynamics. And then I move faster, I make replicas faster, put more energy - in militants it is much more important than every minute explanation of the motives of the actions of the hero.

Most of the filming of the "Passenger" took place in wagons. The operator and other team there was very crowded, and the ceilings are so low! But we gain experience, and the next film can be removed already, for example, in the closet.

Indeed, on the plane and the train you have already filmed, there was a closet or, say, a bathroom. But everything is ahead - you are only 65 years old. By the way, in life you look much younger than on the screen.

Yes, I am a true master of reincarnations! (Laughs). ) But seriously, why are the heroes of militants increasingly played by men nowadays? For example, Keanu Reeves in "John Wicke" - he 53.

Reeves is 53 years old? Wow! Whenever I see him, it seems to me that he is no more than 23. It turns out that in this state he has been in the last 30 years. And how many Jackie Chan? 63 years old? So he is younger than me! God, I'm in shock! Let's agree: 60 years is a new 40. (Laughs). ) Be a coward, but alive In movies, you can kick anyone, and most ever had to fight back?.

No, in life neither in the bar nor in the street did he fight! I've been fascinated with boxing since childhood, so I thought it was unfair to deal with an opponent. Then I became more mature and realized that the opponent in his bosom might have a knife or a pistol. Marines and experts of martial arts have taught how to behave in conflict situations: at the first sign of a fight, look for the door and go away. Be a coward, but alive. This I also taught my sons.

By the way, some time ago you threatened to tie it up with shootings in action movies, and then again in the same river ... Listen, well, you must understand everything correctly! (Laughs). ) Here Daniel Craig many times said that he would rather die than appear again in the Bondiana. So what? Usually actors say this when they get out of a long, exhausting project. So consider this post-traumatic stress. (Laughs). ) In the continuation of the topic: in the "Passenger" your hero finds himself in an alteration, sitting in a regular suburban train. After such work, you do not have any phobias associated with transport?.

No, I can negotiate with myself. (Laughs). ) Although there are people who have done a lot to make these phobias appear. For example, Harrison Ford. We shot him in one movie, and Harrison decided on his plane to drop me and a few more actors to Toronto.

And in the air began such a chatter! We fastened our seat belts, squeezed into the seats, prayed to all the famous gods ... And then Harrison, sitting at the helm, started to talk on the speakerphone:

"Tragic turn of events for the whole Hollywood! The forces of wind overtook the crew and ... ".

I could not stand it and yelled, "Harrison, shut up already, I beg you! ". As a result, we had to land in Montreal to wait out the bad weather. It was really scary, but it did not turn me off from air travel!.

Harrison Ford then at least admitted that he was uncomfortable at the time?.

Here's another! He is very self-assured. In addition, Harrison is really a good pilot.
