In Thursday interview on “Conan,” the actress revealed that her onscreen dad assisted her when she was a “hot mess” after a breakup.
She said that after telling Neeson about getting her heart broken by her ex, he responded, “We have to set this kid straight.”
Grace recorded Neeson’s call to her former boyfriend, which she then played on the show.
“This is Brian Mills,” the Oscar nominee said, speaking as his notoriously tough “Taken” character. “We’ve never met, and if you play your cards right, we never will.”
Now listen (bleeped out expletive),” he continued, “you’re lower than the pond scum so I’m just going to say this once.
“You’ve made two mistakes: Your first mistake was dating out of your league. Your second mistake, well, let’s just say any more mistakes and I’ll break your other arm – slowly.
“I don’t need to say it, but I have a particular set of skills,” Neeson said, quoting his character’s most famous line.
“And I don’t want to waste them on you,” the actor concluded. “Now you get your s--t together.”It’s no wonder that Grace gushed about Neeson, “He’s like the best fake movie dad any girl could ask for.”
The two can be seen onscreen as father and daughter for third time when “Taken 3” hits theaters Friday.
