Irish president honours Neeson

AWARD: An emotional Liam Neeson has received an award from the President of Ireland for his contribution to the country and humanity.

Receiving the honour, the Irish actor revealed that he was wary of giving public addresses.

“My fear, and it’s a genuine fear, is public speaking.

“Everyone says ‘oh, you’re an actor, you should be good at that.’ It’s just not true,” he said.
