"Liam Neeson Turned Down James Bond Role"
"
Because Natasha Richardson Said She Wouldn't Marry Him If He Took the Part"
"I was heavily courted, let's put it that way, and I'm sure some other actors were too," the thespian said. "It was about 18 or 19 years ago and my wife-to-be said, ‘If you play James Bond we're not getting married!' And I had to take that on board, because I did want to marry her," he remembered with a smile. Neeson is of course referring to his late wife Natasha Richardson. The couple tied the knot in 1994 and was happily married with their two sons until her tragic death in 2009.

Instead of james bond, he's in every other film like james bond.
No, too skinny, too thin-faced.
Does it say what Natasha objected to? Shaken not stirred doesn't seem to be enough of a reason to cancel a marriage.
Assa sad storeee
'E mussa miss 'er reeeeel baah n tuk up drink'n.
Oh, right, you piss yourself in public once, twice, a couple three times, and all of a sudden you're the piss in your pants and still walk around in public guy.
He has trashed his career. He makes mindless action movie after mindless action movie.
Steven Segal with an Irish accent.
He totally sucked as Matt Scudder in the movie of a Larence Block classic. Bummer.
I'm guessing that in her mind James Bond was a dinosaur.
I think she didn't want him filming with a lot of super sexy Bond girls. Liam is a player and they would have been divorced in a couple of years if he played Bond. She knew her man.
Liam Neesson is one of the biggest hypocrites in Hollywood and that's saying something. He is an ultra gun control nut but in every movie he makes he shoots anything that moves.
The way things are devolving they can offer the role to Bruce Jenner. Chaz Bono can play Pussy Nomore.
