The Truth Behind Their Relationship
During an appearance on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” Neeson was asked about his relationship with Willis. The Taken star chuckled before responding:

Neeson clarified that there was never any feud, despite rumors. Instead, he praised Willis’s work ethic and influence on the action genre.
Did They Almost Work Together?
Interestingly, Neeson revealed that they almost shared the screen in the 1990s.
“There was talk of us doing a project together, a buddy-cop kind of film. It never materialized, but it would’ve been fun.”
Fans immediately took to social media, expressing disappointment that this movie never happened.
Bruce Willis’s Retirement and Neeson’s Support
When asked about Willis’s retirement due to aphasia (a cognitive disorder), Neeson grew emotional:
