'It was quite frightening, actually,' Oscar winner says of his amateur boxing days.
By Kara Warner
Liam Neeson's performance in "Taken" accomplished several impressive feats. One of them is a $145 million haul at the box office, and the other is that Neeson, previously known for more dramatic, actor-type roles, can seriously kick ass onscreen.
In his new movie "Unknown," Neeson plays Dr. Martin Harris, an American man who has traveled to Berlin, Germany, to participate in an international conference. Almost immediately upon arrival, he is involved in a car accident and wakes up in a hospital with no memory of who he is or why he is in the foreign city. As his memory slowly returns, he starts to uncover oddities about his true identity.
When MTV News caught up with the Oscar winner recently, we found that Neeson hasn't just played someone who suffered memory loss, he experienced it firsthand during his younger years as an amateur boxer.
"It was quite frightening, actually," Neeson recalled. "I was about 16 or 17 and it was actually a fight I won on points. And I remember coming out and my father saying, 'Get your clothes on,' and I remember thinking, 'Clothes? What do you mean clothes?' 'Dressing room,' they were alien words to me," he explained. "And after about three minutes, I gradually came back and thought, 'Whoops, I don't like this, I better get out of this game.' "
Regarding the physical demands of "Unknown," as well as "Taken" for that matter, Neeson said that despite many people being surprised at the impressive physicality he displays on film, he's always kept himself in fighting form.
"Oh yeah, for many, many years, I've always done that. I just never advertised it," he said. "Everybody seems to advertise it now, you know? 'How many hours did ya do at the gym?' 'Oh I just did the five [hours].' 'Oh, I did five and a half.' Its sort of like, well f---."
"It's all over, it's a whole cult thing now," he said of fitness fanatics. "But I do it in my own quiet way. I just get on with it and do it."
Check out everything we've got on "Unknown."

Lindsay Lohan's love life is proving to be just as difficult to keep up with as her rap sheet. TMZ has a photo of Lilo leaving the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood with on-off girlfriend Samantha Ronson early Friday morning -- and the duo's suggestive tweets over the past week are leading many to believe this dynamic duo has rekindled their relationship.
On Tuesday, Lindsay alluded to having shared a romantic Valentine's Day meal with Sam in a post on her Twitter page, and the two continued with a series of back-and-forth flirtatious tweets. They joked about gifting and tasting "chicken cutlets." Lindsay, 24, even referred to her pillow as her "2nd favourite valentine." Ronson, 33, presumably took first place.
The two first started dating in 2008, but in between Lindsay's stay in jail, stint in rehab and recent charge of felony grand theft, she and Sam broke up and got back together more times than we can count. One split was so bad that, in April 2009, Sam's family filed a restraining order against Lohan.
Adding to speculation that Sam and Lindsay are an item once again, Ronson posted a tweet early Friday morning that certainly suggests that she and the Mean Girls starlet spent the night together. The DJ wrote: "watching grey's anatomy-my fav show-@lindsaylohan sleeping next 2 me- should i wake her up to let her know her mom is going on GMA?"
If Lindsay and Sam aren't dating again, they sure are pulling one over on the media! We think Sam is a grounded woman and seems pretty down to earth, something Lindsay could definitely benefit from right now. Plus, as far as we know, Sam doesn't have a track record of getting caught up in illegal activities, so she's definitely a good influence on Lindsay in that regard!
Do you want to see Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson get back together again? Chime in below!

Gaga has always graced red carpets in completely over-the-top ways.

Lady Gaga arrived at the Grammy Awards red carpet on Sunday night in an egg designed by powerhouse fashion houses Hussein Chalayan and House of Mugler. And we'd expect nothing less from Gaga, who has a long list of unusual and over-the-top awards-show entrances in her short career.
Check out photos of Lady Gaga's most memorable entrances.
Back in September, Gaga hit the white carpet of the 2010 VMAs in a gown designed by late friend Alexander McQueen and was joined by several servicemen and women who had been discharged from the U.S. Air Force and Army for being openly gay or bisexual. "These soldiers that are with me today have all been discharged from the Air Force or Army, or opted to leave on their own. ... Their stories are truly inspiring, and in my opinion — and as so many young people around the world believe — 'don't ask, don't tell' is wrong, it's sick, it's immoral," she explained of her choice to include them in her appearance.
Later in the night she appeared in the press room wearing the now-famous meat dress and pointed out its connection to her earlier companions. "If we don't stand up for what we believe in and if we don't fight for our rights, pretty soon we're going to have as much rights as the meat on our own bones," Gaga explained. "And I am not a piece of meat."
At last year's Grammy Awards, Gaga was out-of-this world in a sparkly lavender and silver dress that looked like a planet with orbiting rings. What did the spacey outfit mean? "The series of pieces Mr. Armani created for me are truly iconic; they represent not only beautiful fashion, but my spirit and essence as an artist," she said. "Mr. Armani is a fashion legend, and tonight would not have been the same without his touch, and his wonderful team."
Gaga, who once wore a dress made of Kermit the Frogs, arrived at the 2009 VMAs with Kermit himself as her date for the big show. It was the first time that Gaga had created such a major spectacle for herself at an awards show. "He's been a really good date," Gaga joked to MTV News. "It's our first date, but we've been eyeing each other for a while."
And on Sunday night, though she didn't do interviews as her egg was being carried into the Staples Center, the art piece spoke for itself.
"She's born this way, so maybe she's being born again!" MTV News red-carpet correspondent Snooki noted after Gaga waved to her from inside her shell. Of course!

HOLLYWOOD — At Sunday's 53rd Grammy Awards, Usher will be pulling double duty as both a nominee and a performer. Of course, given the massive year he just completed — with the success of his smash single "O.M.G." and as a mentor to rising phenom Justin Bieber — Ush's Grammy plans seem rather fitting.
Especially since he'll be performing with Bieber (and Bieber's pal Jaden Smith), a move that's just as much about celebrating Usher's successes as it is the successes of his young protégé.
"Having been through [the Grammys] so many times, you couldn't want for anything more than for your young protégé to have the opportunity to have one, so, in support of him having his moment, I wanted to be here," Usher told MTV News on Thursday, hours before his performance at the (Belvedere) RED launch party in Hollywood. "And also to be there to perform, to kind of tell the story of how we came together. This music business has definitely been good to both of us, and this year we have a lot to be happy for."
And just how will the dynamic duo tell that story? Well, Usher wasn't about to reveal all the details, but he did say that he's hoping their performance will show another side of Bieber ... a side most tend to overlook.
"The performance will be fun," Usher explained. "We want to get up there and just do what we do. Be comfortable, and have a great time. ... This is kind of a crossover for Justin. Having performed on so many different stages, this is the way that I wanted him to be seen and an opportunity to show the industry — a lot of the industry, that didn't believe [in him] — some of his other talents. He's going to play acoustically, and also, we'll get down a little bit."
And though Ush is up for a pair of Grammy awards on Sunday — Best Male R&B Vocal Performance and Best Contemporary R&B Album for Raymond v. Raymond — he's most looking forward to sharing the stage with Bieber and giving fans a look at where the young artist will be heading next.
"I'm very proud, man. I definitely saw it from the beginning, but thanks to the team that we have around us, it was made to happen. And that story has only just begun," Usher said. "The story of Justin Bieber doesn't stop with screaming girls; we need screaming fans all around the world ... a cultural experience that's much more than just fanfare. And that's what this is. That's what the Grammys will be; that's what my next phase for Justin is. This is the way I found him: I found him with a guitar in his hand, so I want him to be seen that way."
Don't miss "Snooki & Sway: Live From the Grammys," a red-carpet live stream kicking off Sunday at 6 p.m. ET on MTV.com. And stick with us all Grammy night for coverage of the red carpet, the show, the afterparties and beyond!
