In an interview with CBS on Sunday’s 60 Minutes , the Taken star opened up: “It’s like a tidal wave. As long as you feel instability, the earth is no longer stable. Even though I know that human life is not eternal, I still cannot forget that.”

Liam said that before doing this, he went to his wife and said: “Honey, you hit your head and will never wake up again…”.

The actor also shared about his decision to donate organs to patients: “She helped 3 other people find a chance to live again at that time, thanks to her kidney, heart and liver. I think she will be very happy and satisfied by that.”
