The “Taken” star fell in love with a “taken” woman.
Liam Neeson revealed during a press tour for his new film, “Blacklight,” that he fell for an Australian woman while filming on location.
“I loved Melbourne, I loved our Australian crew,” the action star, 69, said on the Australian morning talk show “Sunrise” on Sunday. “Every department was superb but they were their own people, do you know what I mean?”
“They had a great sense of humor,” he added. “I made a couple of pals and fell in love once while I was there, but she was taken.”
Neeson did not disclose whether the unnamed woman was a co-star or someone else on set. However, “Sunrise” noted in their package that “Blacklight” was a $43 million production that created more than 500 local jobs for cast and crew, and 550 roles for extras.
Neeson, who is originally from Northern Ireland and owns a lavish home in upstate New York, said he looks forward to “going back” to Australia again.
The “Unknown” star did not reveal whether he has intentions of winning over the mystery woman, and it is not likely that he will share much else.
Neeson has kept his romantic life out of the spotlight since his late wife, Natasha Richardson, tragically died in a skiing accident in March 2009.
The former couple were married from 1994 to 2009, and share two sons: Micheál, 26, and Daniel, 25.

In February 2016, Neeson was rumored to be dating an “incredibly famous” mystery woman.
The “Cold Pursuit” star said at the time, “I’d embarrass her if I said her name, she’s incredibly famous. I’ll have to do my best for her. It’s amazing how far a simple bunch of freshly picked flowers will go in a lady’s life, I find.”
