Liam Neeson is "incredibly protective" of Maggie Grace.
The 'Taken 3' actress, who previously dated Ian Somerholder and entrepreneur Blake Mycoskie, admits her 62-year-old co-star once called one of ex-boyfriends to confront him about hurting her feelings.
She said: "There was this boy who had really hurt my feelings and was kind of being a hot mess, and Liam was just like, 'Let's set this kid straight.'
"It was great."
Her former beau had "not much" to say after Liam told him to stop messing with her emotions.
After being shown a clip of Liam's infamous speech in the first 'Taken' thriller, in which he threatens to hunt down and kill his daughter's kidnappers, Maggie jokingly added: "You would think this [clip] kept me shocking single all of the time.
"My man now is just so good to me because look at what hangs in the balance. You know at any point [I could call Liam]. I should call Liam when I get parking tickets, anything... I should be like, 'Liam, could you...' "
Asked what it's like to work with the Northern Irish star, the 31-year-old actress told the 'Today' show: "He's just incredibly protective and lovely, and has a really weird sense of humour."

James Corden dreams of playing Rocky Balboa.
The Tony Award-winning actor stars in 'Into The Woods', alongside Hollywood heavyweights Emily Blunt, Johnny Depp and Meryl Streep, but James has revealed his ultimate ambition is to assume the role of the professional boxer.
Speaking at the UK gala for the new Disney film, the 36-year-old star told BANG Showbiz: "There are so many roles I'd like to play. I'd love to play Max Bialystock in 'The Producers', I'd love to play Pseudolus in 'A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum'. I'd love to play Rocky!"
Although 'Into The Woods' boasts a stellar cast - which also includes Anna Kendrick and Chris Pine - James insisted there were no egos on the set and he feels privileged to have worked with so many talented people.
He shared: "They're the best group of people I've ever worked with, I feel honoured to have shared the same space as them. I really, really am."
James also said the film - which has been adapted by James Lapine from his and Stephen Sondheim's Tony Award-winning Broadway show of the same name - tells an important message.
Asked to explain the meaning of the musical fantasy film, James said: "No-one is alone. No-one is on their own, ever."
'Into The Woods' is released worldwide later this week.

Tallulah Willis is "starting to feel OK" about herself after seeking treatment in rehab.
The 20-year-old star, who was diagnosed with body dysmorphic disorder when she was 13, checked into a treatment facility for 45 days in late July to battle depression and drugs after her sister Scout Willis, 23, "forced me to see what I was doing."
Asked why she decided to seek help, the fashion blogger, who is Bruce Willis and Demi Moore's youngest daughter, said: "There wasn't a huge, horrible moment, but I knew I needed to go take care of myself."
Tallulah became her "own worst critic" when she entered her teens.
She told the February issue of Teen Vogue magazine: "I recall very specifically I was in a New York hotel room when I was 13 (before social media was such a huge thing), looking at a photo of myself online. I broke down in tears as I started to read the comments. I thought, I am a hideous, disgusting-looking person. I might be nice and I might be kind, but I'm a really unattractive human being.
"In that moment, a switch flipped. It wasn't about the anonymous cyberbullies--I became my own worst critic."
The blonde beauty started abusing drugs when her "depression became overwhelming" in college.
She said: "I was so removed from my body and from my mind that it was like I was living in a cardboard replica of what life should be. Not even so much because I was doing drugs but because I was so sad and so unhappy."
While Tallulah is on the road to recovery, she admits it isn't easy.
She explained: "It's not night and day--it's not like now I completely love myself and I have no problems. That isn't how it works. But there are the starting points of that, and that's really exciting. I'm growing every day and breaking old patterns."

Lena Dunham found it "very very painful" to be criticised for revealing she was date-raped.
The 'Girls' star admits she was devastated when people "attempted to discredit" her story after she opened up about the horrifying incident in her memoir, 'Not That Kind of Girl,' last year, but believes she received more support than most victims because she's famous.
The 28-year-old actress told the 'Today' show: "It's a very very painful thing to share an episode that personal and receive criticism, but what I received was only a small percentage of the doubt and victim-blaming that most women who are sexually assaulted in this country experience. I am a celebrity with a platform and a lot of incredible support.
"Most women who come forward with accusations of sexual assault don't have those benefits.
"[They] don't have my legal and emotional and financial supports, and so for me I really feel like it enhanced my understanding of the cause and hopefully will make me a better advocate and activist in the future."
Lena previously confessed she was initially "terrified" of sharing details about the assault in her book, but also found it therapeutic.
She said: "I spent so much time ashamed, I don't feel that way anymore. And it's not because of my job, it's not because of my boyfriend, it's not because of feminism -- though all those things helped -- it's because I told the story. And I still feel like myself and I feel less alone."

Jennifer Aniston almost drowned when she was a child.
The 'Cake' star, who is engaged to the 'Leftovers' star Justin Theroux, has revealed she developed a deep fear of being underwater after she crashed her tricycle into a swimming pool when she was younger.
She said: "I basically have a real fear of going underwater. I was a kid and I was riding this tricycle around a swimming pool and I drove my tricycle into the swimming pool and I didn't let go and my brother tried to [help me]. So, I can't go underwater and no one will believe me. I honestly can't."
The 45-year-old actress' phobia made filming some scenes in her new movie, in which she plays a woman who suffers from chronic pain and a prescription painkiller addiction after surviving an accident, extremely difficult because her character undergoes water therapy and she was forced to shoot one scene in a swimming pool 30 times, according to E! News.
The former 'Friends' star is tipped to be nominated for an Oscar for her performance in the gritty film, which was something she had been "dying to do for years."
She said: "It's like a catch-22. It's you know, 'Please let me play this part. I know I can do it.' But then they won't give you the part because they don't know if you could do it.
"So, it's hard. You have to just wait for that wonderful brave human being who sort of says, 'This is interesting to me and all of us to take [the] risk and be bold.' "

Jessica Simpson has "always had a very healthy sex life" with her husband.
The Weight Watchers ambassador, who has two children, Maxwell, two, and Ace, 18-months, with husband Eric Johnson, says he even made her feel very sexy when she gained 70 pounds during her pregnancies.
The 34-year-old singer said: "My husband and I were looking at old pictures recently, and I asked him, 'Babe, why didn't you tell me to put the brownie down?' He said, 'You looked great.' He's always loved every curve on my body. And we've always had a healthy sex life."
Despite being happy with her curvier figure, Jessica, who was previously married to Nick Lachey, decided to lose weight because she wanted to "look healthy" on her wedding day last July.
She explained: "I worked really hard because I wanted to appreciate being in a wedding gown again. I wanted to enjoy it like I did the first time. But I didn't have a weight goal; I just wanted to look healthy."
The blonde beauty now maintains her trim figure by exercising five times a week and admits she is unlikely to have any more children.
Asked if she is planning to have another baby, she told the January issue of InStyle magazine: "I don't think so. Having two kids back-to-back was hard on my body. But if I do have more, I wouldn't want them to read this and think they weren't wanted!"

Marilyn Manson has sex a minimum of five times a day in the dark but refuses to take his underwear off in case there's a fire in the house.
The 46-year-old singer insists on the lights being switched off when he is engaging in the act of "sexual congress" with his girlfriend, photographer Lindsay Usich, because he is "shy" but loves to spend the day in bed with her and they recently set a new record by having sex 10 times in one day.
He said: "I'm just really shy, despite what you'd imagine. I have a phobia that the house is going to catch fire, and I don't want to be naked."
The 'Rock is Dead' hitmaker always has his bedroom temperate set at 65 degrees Fahrenheit and insists on having black bed sheets, and, like his bed linen, he loves to wear dark underwear which his 30-year-old girlfriend regularly flashes a UV torch onto to check whether or not he has been unfaithful to her.
Marilyn - who previously dated actresses Rose McGowan and Evan Rachel Wood, porn star Jenna Jameson, and was married to burlesque queen Dita Von Teese for just over a year - added to Rolling Stone magazine: "I have a blacklight flashlight at home, which will show if sperm is on anything, and Lindsay has used it on my underwear to see if I'd done something naughty when I was out.
"I said, 'Fooled you. I might have changed my underwear. How do you know that I didn't?' She goes, 'Because you don't change your underwear.' I said, 'That is true. Good answer. Good answer.' "

Amy Poehler has been named 2015 Woman of the Year by Harvard University's Hasty Pudding Theatricals.
The student group are bestowing their prestigious honour onto the 'Parks and Recreation' star because her comedy
"fits so well with the Pudding's own tradition of satire and social commentary."
Hasty Pudding Theatricals president Jason Hellerstein also said: "We are extremely excited to announce Amy Poehler as our 2015 Woman of the Year. She is an accomplished performer, incredible comedian, and an inspiration to everyone in the Hasty Pudding.
"We look forward to welcoming Ms. Poehler and celebrating and honouring her achievements in a truly unique and memorable way."
To celebrate the honour, Amy will lead a parade through Harvard Square on January 29 before being the subject of a roast.
The Man of the Year will be announced at a later date.
Last year, the titles were bestowed on Dame Helen Mirren and Neil Patrick Harris, while previous winners include Anne Hathaway, Halle Berry, Claire Danes, Charlize Theron, Kiefer Sutherland, Justin Timberlake, James Franco and Jay Leno.
Amy, 43, previously visited Harvard in 2011 when she offered advice as Class Day speaker the day before graduation.

Blake Lively doesn't think having a child is a "massive change".
The 27-year-old actress and husband Ryan Reynolds welcomed their first child - believed to be a daughter named Violet - into the world last month and says being a parent comes naturally.
She said: "I always felt like a mama...
"I don't feel like it's a massive change."
While things may not have changed much, the former 'Gossip Girl' star admits she is happier than she has ever been.
She said: "This is the happiest time in my life, and I could say that every day. I often feel like, 'I can't believe I'm experiencing this.' "
While Blake wants to enjoy her time with her new baby, she is already thinking ahead to having more children.
She said: "I do want to just enjoy this moment. But I also feel like my first child is going to be the oldest sibling to the next kid, and that may change with each and every year.
"I'm looking forward to how one baby influences the other, and to my family as a whole, to every single chapter."
As well as wanting to grow her family, Blake - who married 38-year-old Ryan in 2012 - is already making plans to expand her lifestyle website Preserve and credits her parents and siblings for the inspiration behind the brand.
She said: "So much of the inspiration came from my mom and my dad and my siblings.
"All the things I feel like I'm good at are thanks to my family, and they're things we're now embracing at Preserve: cooking, decorating, artistry. Family is at the heart of everything I do."

Meryl Streep believes women are demonised for growing old.
The 65-year-old actress claims she turned down a number of parts in which she was asked to play a witch when she was in her 40s because she doesn't like the idea of women being portrayed as "horrifying" for growing older.
Quizzed on why she'd agreed to play a witch in 'Into the Woods' at a press conference for the film at the Corinthia London hotel, she said: "Because I felt it was age appropriate, I thought it was the right time. I didn't think it was the right time at 40.
"Also, I just had a political sort of reaction against the concept of witches ... Of older women being demonised and age being this horrifying, scary thing.
"I just didn't go for that. I didn't like it when I was a little girl and I don't like it now."
The 'Devil Wears Prada' star is transformed from a crooked, vindictive hag of a witch into a stunning bombshell when a spell is lifted in the film but she's confessed she felt more comfortable looking haggard.
She shared: "I actually preferred it before the transformation, interestingly. The one who transforms had a lot of make up."
'Into The Woods' is set for release worldwide later this week.

Prime Minister David Cameron has declined the opportunity to publicly support Britain's Prince Andrew over claims he had sex with an under-age girl.
American Virginia Roberts has claimed she had sex with the royal when she was 17 in Florida, where the age of consent was and is 18.
Asked about the accusations, the Prime Minister told LBC: "I'm not going to make any comment on it. Obviously, the Prince has made his own views very, very clear, and I think I'll leave it at that."
Prince Andrew has vehemently denied the accusations and has received strong support from a number of public figures, including Mayor of London Boris Johnson.
He said: "Prince Andrew, let's be very clear, is a guy who does a huge amount of unsung, unheralded work for this country.
"People, they go on and and about the air miles and so on, actually I have seen that guy get out there and sell this country, try and help British firms to get business around the world.
"He does a huge amount of good and a huge amount of hard work. So if you are asking me whether I have sympathy for him, of course I do."

Matthew Gravelle had to wear a disguise on the 'Broadchurch' set.
The 38-year-old actor plays Joe Miller - who was revealed as the killer of young Danny Latimer at the end of the drama's first series - and admits he had to conceal his identity when filming to ensure the secret did not get out before the episode aired.
He admitted: "Actually, when we were filming, I did have to go around in a wig and glasses with my hood up, just incase."
Despite being sworn to secrecy when it came to talking about who the killer was before it was revealed to viewers, the hunk confessed he confided the twist in his young children - Tomi and Ela - because although they were too young to watch the ITV show, he was afraid other people might tell them about it.
He explained on 'Lorraine': "The [children] get it they just know that [acting is] what we [me and my wife, Mali Harries] do and they know it's pretend so they're not affected by it and I kind of briefed our kids before the first one came out, just before the revelation and said, 'Look there's this programme, it's been quite successful, people might come up and say, 'You're a killer'. 'I'm not a killer, it's pretend.' "
