NOW, LIAM, WE HAVE BEEN DOING A THING ON THE SHOW CALLED LATE
LATE SHOW AND TELL WHERE WE ASK OUR GUESTS IF THEY WOULD SHARE
SOMETHING WITH US FROM THEIR HOME WE MIGHT NOT OTHERWISE GET
TO SEE.
DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO SHARE WITH US THIS EVENING?
>> ACTUALLY, JAMES, I DO.
IT HAPPENS TO BE SITTING BESIDE ME.
THIS PIECE OF WOOD, IT LOOKS LIKE AN ORDINARY PIECE OF WOOD.
THIS HAS BEEN TO TO TATOWEEN AND BACK MANY, MANY TIMES.
IF I TURN IT THIS WAY, IT WILL SHOW A CERTAIN LIGHTSABER THAT I
USED IN THE FILM THE PHANTOM MANICE WHICH WAS GOING TO BE
CALLED THE BEGINNING, ORIGINALLY.
IT SAID JULY OCTOBER 1987.
SO THAT'S MY LIGHTSABER, A JED DIE MASTER.
SO THAT'S THE ONE.
EVERYBODY THINKS, YOU TURN IT ON WITH JUST YOUR THOUGHT, RIGHT?
I SAID, NO -- >> James: WELL, THAT'S
AMAZING.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING THAT.
REGGIE, DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION FOR OUR GUESTS THIS EVENING?
>> YES, I DO.
TONIGHT'S QUESTION GOES TO -- ( DRUM ROLL )
-- LIAM NEESON.
THE QUESTION FOLLOWS, YOU'RE ONE OF MY FAVORITE ACTION STARS, AND
I PRETTY MUCH SEE ANYTHING THAT YOU DO, AND I WAS WONDERING,
YOU'VE HAD -- MUST HAVE HAD TACTICAL TRAINING, DO YOU HAVE
TO REFRESH YOUR TACTICAL TRAINING ALL THE TIME OR HAVE
YOU DONE SO MUCH OF IT IT DOESN'T MATTER ANYMORE?
>> THAT'S A GENUINE THE QUESTION, REGGIE, RIGHT?
>> James: YEAH.
NO, BECAUSE SOMETIMES YOU ASK SORT OF STONED QUESTIONS, AND I
WAS EXPECTING A STONED QUESTION SO THAT'S WHY I'M ASKING, IS
THAT A LEGITIMATE QUESTION.
>> Reggie: YES.
>> James: IT'S STILL STONED, BUT IT'S LEGITIMATE.
( LAUGHTER ) >> YES, I DO KEEP MYSELF
REASONABLY FIT THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, THE WEEKS AND STUFF, BUT,
YEAH, WHEN I'M PREPARING FOR A FILM AND IF THERE'S A FIGHT
SEQUENCE OR A GUN SEQUENCE OR WHATEVER, YEAH, I HAVE THIS
WONDERFUL STUNT COORDINATOR CALLED MARK VANSLOW.
WE'VE JUST CELEBRATED OUR 25th F MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA, JUST
BEFORE CHRISTMAS.
YEAH, WE WENT TO TRAINING, AND, YOU KNOW, I'M 69 IN JUNE, SO I
HAVE TO KEEP ABREAST OF STUFF.
BUT THE KEY THING IS WITH ME, REGGIE, I DON'T TRY AND FIGHT AS
A 28-YEAR-OLD OR A 30-YEAR-OLD.
I LIKE MY FIGHTS TO A GUY IN HIS '60s WHO GETS TIRED, WHO DOES
HAVE A COUPLE OF MOVES, BUT HE GETS TIRED.
AND I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT THE AUDIENCE SEES THAT, THAT
IT'S KIND OF REAL, YOU KNOW?
>> Reggie: YEAH.
YEAH.
THAT'S ONE OF THE BEST ANSWERS I'VE EVER GOTTEN.
THAT'S CORRECT.
>> James: LOOK AT THAT.
IT'S ABSOLUTELY CORRECT.
