“I was a tiny bit embarrassed [by Taken]," Neeson, 73, told The New York Times in an interview published on Thursday, July 31. "Don’t get me wrong, I did love the script. But I can’t tell you how many voicemails [of the Taken speech] I’ve recorded for my sons’ friends."
The first Taken film was released in 2008 and followed his character, Bryan Mills, as he set out to rescue his daughter from sex-trafficking. Following the success of the first film, two sequels followed in 2012 and 2015 and gave Neeson a major resurgence in his career.
The speech Neeson's son's friends love was about the character's "very particular set of skills." Even before his recent interview with The New York Times, Neeson admitted that the speech has followed him around.
In October 2024, Neeson told People that the speech came up in conversation when he reported to jury duty. "He’s calling, I don’t know, 55, 60 of us," he recalled of the clerk. "He gets to me, but all I’m hearing is, ‘I have a particular set of skills. Skills that would make me…’ And I thought, ‘Oh f--k no.'"
He then reflected on Taken's success by adding, "It just seemed to have touched something in the psychic nerve of moviegoing audiences."
