Liam Neeson's Sons Way Impressed With Dad's New Physique

Karl Erikson — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 11:45:00 GMT

Liam Neeson is a father of two sons, Micheal and Daniel (13 and 12, respectively), so his latest movie, "Taken," really hits close to home for the actor. In the film, his daughter is kidnapped. Liam and wife Natasha Richardson talked a lot about it during the filming.

Neeson, 56, said, "It just had a double impact with me. I think for any parent, the worst thing you can imagine in life is your child being taken and not knowing what's happened to them."

While "Taken" is coming out in January of next year, Liam's boys have already seen it and really liked. But they were even more approving of Liam's buff physique that he had to gain for the role. "They said, 'Dad, that's cool!' And that was about the highest praise you can get."

The boys haven't yet seen "Schindler's List," however, which is the movie that garnered Liam an Oscar nomination 15 years ago. It's a pretty adult film. He plans on showing it to his oldest son soon. Liam said, "I haven't seen it myself in several years, so I want to watch it again, with Michael and some of his peers."

Here's the trailer for "Taken."

Are Heath Ledger Costumes a Good Idea?

Strollerderby is asking parents how they feel about letting children dress as The Joker from Batman. Obviously the idea is not a new one and has been done for years, but that was before the clown took it up a notch.

This isn't your father's Joker.

The last complete role of Heath Ledger is darker than other versions that preceded it on many levels. Ledger died during the process, which makes it somewhat creepy to begin with, but the fact that the role reached such heights- or depths as the case may be, puts The Joker in some pretty scary company. Sure, the character is fictional, but basically you're looking at Ted Bundy in a purple suit.

This won't be an issue for us as my boys haven't seen the latest Batman film (and won't for years), but even if the TV ads were to pull them in I'd have to use my power of veto on this decision. They can be something sweet and innocent, like Dracula.

Christian Bale: Batman Begins...a Baby?

Get ready for another celebrity baby rumor, imagined baby bump and denials from their reps - Christian Bale and wife Sandra "Sibi" Blazic are said to be expecting their second child. The Dark Knight actor and Blazic have a daughter Emmeline, 2.

An MSNBC source reportedly spotted Blazic shopping for baby items in Los Angeles and then purchasing a changing pad. And, as you know, if you look up 'changing pad' in the dictionary you'll find, "An item that signifies pregnancy in the human female."

A Bale source blows off the rumor by saying, “People buy items for friends all the time. Doesn’t mean you should read into it."

Yes, let us know when you spot her buying the packs of newborn diapers, the crib, the twelve-piece layette set and the five-gallon drum of Ben & Jerry's.

Now, that's proof of pregnancy.

Christian Bale's Favorite Role

Whit Honea — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 17:23:00 GMT

Christian Bale does a lot of cool stuff on the big screen, but spending time with his daughter Emmaline has got to trump it all.

She's too cute for Batman jokes.

Heath Ledger: This Joker Ain't Clowning Around

Whit Honea — Tue, 27 Nov 2007 17:13:00 GMT

Empire magazine is featuring Heath Ledger in full Joker garb on their latest cover. In case you live under a rock, the Joker is Batman's foe and this rendition is for the next installment of the Batman Begins storyline.

More importantly, and somewhat saddening, is that in light of recent photos we've shown here on FameCrawler, Heath Ledger dresses better in character than he does in real life. Now that's scary.
