Stunt man Mark Vanselow has revealed A-lister Liam Neeson really does do most of the fight scenes in his blockbusters.
Mark, who been pretending to be Liam for 15 years, says the actor can pack a punch.
“He does the majority of the fighting, he really does,” he told the Daily Star Sunday.

“He’s tough. We usually end up beating each other up during rehearsals. What you see on screen is mostly him.”
Mark has doubled for the Ballymena-born star on some of his biggest movies, including Taken, Taken 2, Battleship, Unknown, The Grey and The A-Team.
Mark says Non-Stop was a difficult one, as Liam played an air marshall, and had to fight like one too.

“We didn’t want it be Taken On A Plane,” he says.
“The fights needed to be very specific to the character. He needed to fight like an air marshall not like a military person or a policeman.
“That takes preparation. What’s amazing with Liam is that he does all training to learn the fights. Then he does the fights.”
