FOX 411: September 13, 2000
Liam Neeson made a surprise appearance Monday night at Talk magazine editor Tina Brown’s swell gathering in her East Side garden. The event was to celebrate the opening of Shakespeare’s Richard II and Coriolanus starring the mesmerizing Ralph Fiennes at the Brooklyn Academy of Music.
But among the swells who turned out — including Ralph’s End of the Affair co-star, Julianne Moore — none was more the star than the recovering Neeson.
Back in July the Schindler’s List star stared down a large deer while on a small motor bike near his upstate New York home. The deer won, and Liam broke his pelvis. On Monday night Neeson came with crutches, but don’t worry: he was draped in the best looking designer suit ever seen on a human being. He told me that he will indeed take a cameo role in Martin Scorsese’s Gangs of New York, already shooting in Europe.
"I go to Italy in January, and I’ll play Leonardo DiCaprio’s father. Of course, it’s when his character is about 8 years old," he joked, "because I’m too young to be his father now."
And Liam’s experience in the woods has not made him a fan of our horned friends. "They should all be shot. They’re disease carrying and they’re dangerous."
Oh deer! (Please, no one call PETA.)
