Liam Neeson wants to star as a stable man in Downton Abbey
Downton Abbey is one of the most watched shows on the TV with Hollywood A-lister George Clooney set to don the period attire for a one off appearance in the Christmas special, and now actor Liam Neeson is keen to get involved too.
The 62-year-old actor said he was going to look to the help of Dan Stevens to find a way get to the Granthams' in the ITV period drama.
"Maybe Dan (Stevens) could have a word with them. I must speak to him (about that). Maybe I could be a stableman or something I definitely wouldn't cut the hierarchy, ya know?" he told London Live's Simon Thompson.
Talking ahead of his new film A Walk Among the Tombstones, he revealed that he is often bemused by the "weird" terminology when he talks with his sons Michael and Daniel.
He said: "I don't get it. Back in New York my sons will say 'that's sick!' and that means something is phenomenally good. It's weird, ya know"
When quizzed on a series of slang terms the actor failed miserably. He thought 'butters' meant "soft", and questioned whether the "vaguely Shakespearian" sounding 'churpsing' was texting.
