Liam Neeson isn't killing anyone in this scene
ding
Not on camera, xD
HetfieldAuditore would be good at cinemasins
Are you sure about that?

"how fast do you burn?"
belfast..
Those sorts of heat waves are more explosive
I don’t tan, I don’t burn... I TURN!!!!!
He has the most amazing voice
You're right, Conan does.
No...we all know it’s Morgan Freeman
I find him very attractive because of his voice
Larry King ladies and gentlemen
I've known he was Irish for the longest time, but I've barely if ever heard a hint of Irish in his voice in all of his movies. It's just so distinctive and iconic that you can never tell what it is but recognize it immediately.
Liam is the Irish Harrison Ford.
Liam Neeson is Liam Neeson
@@subscribetopewdiepie2069 yes he is
Harrison Ford can never match the acting level of Liam Neeson... Period
Harrison said he is jewish when he’s acting but feels Irish as a man.
Irishson Ford
'I have a 160. It fires light back at the sun.' hahaha genius
As a Kentuckian, I have to say that Liam Neeson does a better impression of the Kentucky accent than most Americans outside of the state. People who aren't from the south never realize that there are different kinds of southern accents. Just another reason why I love Liam Neeson. ^_^
Where abouts u from?
He’s an actor…..
Conan is of Irish ancestry. His last name, O' Brian is an Irish surname. I think it's nice that he is proud of his heritage. I don't understand why Irish people come on here and hate on him for it.
Grace Hope
Wow you yanks are dense.
They aren't hating him because of his pride, but because he claims to be Irish when he is not.
*****
Irish people are proud of Irish-Americans?
No they are a non issue in Ireland, they only care when they start telling people they're Irish.
***** You have to laugh ..... a guy with the name Jason Gunn-Davis claiming to know what Irish people feel about their Irish-American cousins. Do these fallen-empire types ever stop trying to tell the Irish how to feel? As a born and bred Irish woman I am immensely proud of my Irish-American cousins and see them as an integral part of the Irish family.
*****
Why does Jason, the 20 year old SNP voting Scot care?
Because logic dictates that an American is not Irish simply because their ancestors lived there.
And what's wrong my name? Gunn is a Scottish surname, and Davis is Welsh.
Does the double barrel surname suggest wealth? Because I am not wealthy at all.
*****
Obsessed? I was on a video about an actor, and saw some moronic comments so I replied to some. Everything since has been me replying to replies.
Hardly an obsession.
I could listen to Liam Neeson all day, love his voice
I'm from Kentucky with the accent and Liam makes a great point. A lot of immigration into Kentucky came from Northern Ireland, mostly Ulster-Scots/Scots-Irish.
Liam Neeson doesn't actually say much in this clip, in fact most of his responses are very short and brief. Despite this it's still a very funny clip, just shows Conan's skills as an interviewer - he can make dull people appear very interesting, whilst making the conversation feel very natural. Top notch.
Liam Neeson is anything but dull.
Makes sense that the Kentucky accent sounds so similar, since Liam is from Northern Ireland and Appalachia was settled by people from Northern Ireland originally
I think it's interesting that Liam Neeson mentioned the connection. Most Americans don't even know that there is such a strong connection between Northern Ireland and the U.S.
kevonmartini10
The people in Northern Ireland who settled the south of the US were in actual fact the children of Scottish planters. They would have had Scottish accents, it''s why the modern Northern Irish accent sounds so Scottish, and it's why Liam used the Scottish word word och
Jason Gunn-Davis Yes, I know all about the Plantation of Ulster. Fascinating history.
Jason Gunn-Davis Liam has what is known as an Ulster Scots accent. It's true that the Irish do burn when they try to get a suntan. I am of Scots and Irish ancestry myself, and I most definitely burn when I've been out in the sun too long.
Some people knew it before that.
Interesting he mentions Kentucky accents, the traditional Kentucky folk music (Bluegrass) is almost identical to traditional Irish music, just without the bagpipes.
bagpipes are scotish. Some irish trad will use pipes occasionally if it suits the song. but in general no pipes.. so bluegrass and irish trad very similar
Back in the 1800s a lot of Irish ppl settled here in the Appalachias part of Kentucky, my last name even comes from Ireland.
+Auto Didact I'd always heard (no proof) that Kentucky was populated by the Irish immigrants. And the Appalachia mountains by Scots (McCoys anyone?)
+Occams Razor I had to take a Dna test for the Shawnee tribe so I could join and get money for college, my Dna test was majority Irish and just barely enough to be considered Native American. So yes the Appalachias are full of Irish bloodline, I've read a lot about how this area's environment and climate is a lot similar to Ireland and that's the reason earlier immigrants settled here.
+Occams Razor McCoy's feud took place about 30 mins from where I was born. So the lot of this around here are Irish and Scotsman bloodlines, I just so happen have natives blood as well.
The irish accent has many variations believe it or not, from a 'Co Antrim' accent to a Cork one!
True, just like English and American accents...
Nellie K. Adaba it actually has far more variations than English accents and has roughly the same amount of variations as America which is astonishing considering the huge size difference
I've read and heard that Northern Ireland accents are easier for Americans than some Irish ones. I worked with someone who only had a slight accent but if she spoke like she did at home it sounded as incomprehensible as Old English to me. Interesting. I don't hear as dramatic differences in American accents as in Irish ones.
@@millieo7155 God no! The northern Irish accents are far more incomprehensible than most other Irish accents.
@@thenextshenanigantownandth4393 trying listening to Cork and I think you'll soon reevaluate. Think of it this way, Northern Ireland to Ireland is like the Scotland to England.
Liam Neeson is soooooo handsome! That voice!
and if the rumors are true a evian water bottle in his boxers lmao
Hello thanks for your love and support, fans like you is the reason why we keep moving forward, have you been to any of my concert?
Thanks for your love and support ♥️
Liam Neesen trained Obi-Wan and Batman AND lead the A-Team. I don't think it gets any more badass than that.
Its my first time hearing Liam Neeson's voice LOL. Its actually quite amazing.
The Irish are amazing, funny, and fiery. Me Irish granny had so many friends, when she passed away... you'd have thought Elvis had died there were so many at her funeral.
+Dawn I
us irish are a fun breed,
and know how to party.
Éire go deo.
Thanks for your love and support ♥️
I love Liam's accent, it adds to the sexiness of his voice.
I could listen to Liam talk all day and night long~
Thanks for your love and support, fans like you is the reason why we keep moving forward, have you been to any of my concert?
Liam is such a charming man like hes just sitting there but man he looks so good and smart

And tall lol, i love a tall man!
Thanks for your love and support
He's from Ballymena hey!
Couny anrim
Fun fact: someone died in a car crash in ballymena yesterday
I'm from Kentucky, and I'm not offended...he has a point
Your last name looks Irish
The last bit was super damn funny, with how Irish people actually talk 😂🤣
Conan's last impression was hilarious. It's hard to breath from so much laughing.
Kentucky had a high number of Irish immigrants, hence why the accents have a common sound :)
Wow I didn't know that! I'm from New York
Irish Slaves brought over to work for free for up to 30 years before granted freedom and citizenship.
Even Muhammad Ali turned out to have Irish in him
@@The01t still black lol
I'm off to Kentucky next on mg american trip haha
I love how Liam's hands are triple the size of conan's!
Farmers hands
Thanks for your love and support ♥️
Liam is from Ballymena in County Antrim, my father was born and raised in a small townland called Toome in County Antrim, just 11 miles down the road and yes I can say that is how County Antrim people speak. My father had a very pronounced Antrim accent just like Liam's old accent.
John King I have 3 friends that live in ballymena and they used to tell me stories about Liam’s mother as she lives like 3 houses down.. seems like a real humble family IMO
Not everyone in County Antrim speaks like that.
Diesel Dawg yes they do except if they’re from cushendall or lougheill. Antrim accents are horrible. South derry accents are the best in the country sir
Man Liam Neeson's voice is velvety as hell.
Hello thanks for your love and support, fans like you is the reason why we keep moving forward, have you been to any of my concert?
"so you had food in your mouth" XDD gotta love Conan
I from Brazil and I have an uncle that I never understood, I also never saw him sober, but that's a different story...
My Dad is od partial Irish descent and yep he's pale as all get-out. Also, Liam makes a really good point about how there's a similarity between some southern and some Irish accents. Could possibly be because a lot of southerners are descended from people who came here in colonial times (late 18th century) from what is now Northern Ireland.
Thanks for your love and support ♥️
It’s the most linguistically conservative accent in America so it checks out
As a North American who lives in Northern Ireland, I think Liam was actually dumbing down his Ballymena accent for Conan. The Ulsterers are impossible to understand sometimes (may God bless and keep them 😊💖)
What on earth is an "Ulsterer"?
@@Sierra-bw4gm someone who comes from the Ulster region (that is actually Northern Ireland)
@@alessioluvione8494 It's not a real work though, the person just made it up 🤣🤣.
@@alessioluvione8494 It's not a real word though, the person just made it up 🤣🤣. Also Northern Ireland, is actually only 6 of the 9 Ulster counties.

yeo
Hope he can be in a hit TV series. I love him.
sooo authentic. what a man.
Frkn Murphy brothers!!! Love These two Irish pasties.
C: How fast do you burn?
L: Fast
his voice is life
Conan, you've lived in America for all of your life. You're not Irish.
He is Irish he isn't Native American is he.
The01t He's American.
Sam Lemke Irish-American
Dumb ass, not living some where does not erase ones genealogy.
The Godlygamer It does effect your nationality.
Christian Bale and Liam Neeson should star in a comedy. They're always so serious xD
i'm irish and i know exactly what hes talking about .
Terry Kane carry an umbrella when it's bright outside
bettahthanyou Im talking about the irish accent ,idiot.
Terry Kane either way your pasty white self is in serious need of shielding when it's a bright sunny day HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
bettahthanyou i'm not pasty white so hahahahaha,another thing you got wrong .
Bloody hell, you dont have to take it so seriously.
Liam Neeson is so awesome.
I have a strong Irish ancestry on my father's side. I can confirm that going outside when the sun is up is playing a dangerous game. I have to use at least SPF 90.
well the murphy brothers were from Kerry anyway. that's for sure.
tony lennon because even for the Irish kerry lads are insane with the way they talk
luke cantwell I'm from kerry and I spose if they spoke with more shhh and yerra with a deeper voice then spot on
I can hear how his accent is mixed. That's normal. Love this Man. Ruggedly shexy.
I was born in America but my family came from Ireland, struggled to get here, struggled while here, still struggle to be here but its for our future, our families future. We practice Irish traditions, customs and culturally try to maintain our Irish identity. So yeah I say that I am Irish, as my family are, if that offends you kiss my pale Irish ass.
I loved Liam Neeson's movies such as Darkman, Schindler's List, The Lego Movie, Non-Stop and The Ice Road.
Liam Neeson is the man!
That last part LMBO!!
I like how Liam clears by saying "because of the sun" lol i am sure in ireland he was warned of other reasons to move to LA
Love Neeson! I'm from Kentucky (backwoods) and my family (x8 brothers) are known for causing A LOT of trouble and most def inherited a reputation, SO my mother in all her wisdom shipped 4 of my brothers and myself to live with a uncle in Ireland. We fit in right off the bat and had no problem adjusting to the language because IT IS so similar! Needless to say, sending us to Ireland only fed our tendencies for mischief and have been ruling the island ever since.
For a really small country there are an amazing amount of different accents in Ireland! Conan is an American of some Irish descent, he would be laughed at in Ireland for his geekiness!
I assume you've seen it but in case you haven't "some Irish descent" is quite the understatement. This man has a 100% Irish ethnic makeup
@@aarontobias6486 southern Irish desent, which is what Americans know as Ireland
Every Irish person I've met turns out to be super nice and kind.
My experience with the Irish or more so Irish Americans is totally different my experiences with them are bad vary bad
Thanks for your love and support ♥️
Very slight? Liam's kept an incredibly thick dialect considering he's been in America for the vast majority
love this guy's voice
It's different in America, because our country is so young. Most of us DON'T have to go back that far. Furthermore, the genetic phenotypes are still present and discernible from person to person and many of us have maintained the culture from our ancestor's country of origin. I'm third generation American with Irish, German and Slavic heritage all of which influenced how I grew up and very distinctly separate me from my best friend, a second generation American with Italian heritage.
Liam Neeson makes the Northern Irish accent sound kind of ok
I love Neeson's accent. I'm actually trying to learn it. It's a very elegant, mild accent of Irish. Love it.
Thanks for your love and support, fans like you is the reason why we keep moving forward, have you been to any of my concert?

Liam Neeson does a good Kentucky accent lol.
What a voice!
Liam Neeson voice sound almost as the voice of the governor from the tv series Walking Dead, David Morrissey..
But I believe David is an englishman.
Cetoke He's Australian...
lemonpartyhellyeah Thanks...
kay jay Haahaa! You're terrible at identifying accents! He literally sounds nothing like an Australian! It's painfully obvious that he's English.
and he still sounds like a god when speaking normally
2:33 is what keeps bringing me back to this video
Liam neeson should be the punisher
Close your eyes and picture Conan interviewing Aslan.
I have Liam's accent because I'm from Ballymena in Northern Ireland too...but we all hate our accent, it only sounds good on Liam Neeson.
are you fucking shitting me bro.... irish accent is best thing that happened in english... im greek and i wish i could speak with irish accent!
At least you don't have a Derry accent, they are the worst!
candom rommenter i had this question always... how greek sound to foreign people?
Thanks for your love and support
I could listen to him talk about anything
I love Liam.
Conan should bring Jacksepticeye on the next time he's in LA.
hell yes
jack is my hero im 47.
No
People from Ireland think an African named Mukembe Umvawa is more Irish than Conan O'Brien because he was born in Ireland.
Yeah it's absurd logic
I love him..my fav actor ;)
he has such a great voice
Feels good to be a quarter/half irish.
A eighth Irish and an eighth English on my paternal grandma's side.
@@Strein86 What's the other 75%?
Love Ireland 🇮🇪
Fucking great interview, im pissed I missed the full one.
I could listen to Liam say "smear" again and again
These comments are hilarious. People saying that he's American and not Irish when he clearly said that he grew up in Ballymena Northern Ireland and even told a story about when he was 16 at HOME in IRELAND. Come on guys.
I love him, he's Irish.
Thank you for saying "Northern Ireland" haha, most Americans i met kept saying Ireland.
samuel darragh I'll have to agree with those Americans but I was just quoting Liam before.
samuel darragh yes we always have to keep the Ulster unionists happy don't we Samuel, having the country remain in the UK just isn't enough for you all. Comments like that are plastered all over the internet, it gets tiresome seeing them.
It's the same with Derry/Londonderry, I know a few Americans who have been rudely insulted in their own country when they asked if the person was from County Derry.
I'm getting annoyed with these petty comments nitpicking over whether Conan is Irish or not...
SlayerofBeasts14 Yeah because he is
@@jurgenklopp8771 The last remember of his family that lived in Ireland was born 160+ years ago. Conan is American through and through. Distant ancestry means nothing.
@@AnAtomintheUniverse But he's 100% Irish according to DNA tests.
DNA means everything, I can't be Irish if I'm Indian born in Ireland
@@The01t Yeah. And by that logic, I'm not Asian. I'm American.
Neeson. FLUSH.
i laughed so hard at the end!!
Lots of arguements in the comments below about Irishness. The same old discussion once again. Irishness.. is it an ethnic/ancestral identity or a national identity?? I have cousins who grew up in the bronx their mother is from Mayo their father is from Wexford. They spent most of their summers with us in Ireland when we were growing up. Their family always tried to to keep Irish culture and traditions alive within their community. They are quick to let people know they are Irish and take great pride in doing so. they also find it hurtful when people try to claim otherwise because they might sound more like Tony Soprano than Liam Neeson. are they more or less Irish than my neighbours children? My Neighbours came to Ireland from Lagos in the late 1990's. they are a very nice couple who have 3 children all born in Dublin, the 2 boys play hurling (Impressively so I must say), the girl loves Irish dancing (I am no expert but it looks like she knows what she is doing), they all went to the local gealscoil as such they all speak gealic (better than me I do admit), they speak English with Dublin accents (but I suppose no one is perfect)... you see, I am not going to say who is more or less Irish, my neighbours or my cousins. As an Irish man (both ethnically and nationally) I find It quite endearing to think an Irish American would feel a sense of cultural association with me based on ancestral connections. Likewise wheather you like it or not multiculturalism in Ireland is here to stay. I am glad to see how my neighbours children have embraced Irish culture, the land of their birth. In doing so they haven't in any way turned their back on African culture. I really don't know why people get so hung up on it to be honest. I have seen the hurt Irish Americans feel when they are told all their life they are Irish only to be contradicted by some keyboard warrior intent on imposing their world view on everyone. Likewise I can only imaging the disgust my neighbours kids would have if they were told they don't belong because of the colour of their skin or where their parents came from. I think people should just accept in the USA people use terms that reference a national identity (such as Irish, Italian, Mexican etc) differently from most other countries
***** Conan is American but he is not an Apache warrior. My neighbours kids are Irish
***** It's also pure nonsense to suggest that an American, like Conan could ever call himself Irish after living in Ireland. He'd have just as much luck in Botswana as he would in Ireland, trying to pass himself off as a local.
"Pure Celtic stock" so what, who cares ?
Born and raised in America = American.
Born and raised in Ireland = Irish.
Lomax0506 that guy's neighbours are more Irish than Conan will ever be.
Disappointing how many "nationality snobs" there are around here. Everyone in the US who's not Native American has blood from somewhere else. Nationality doesn't define your ancestry. What's basically going down in the shadowy sections of the comments: "You have 100% Irish blood, but how DARE you say that you are Irish? You were not born in Ireland; you're a disgrace to the REAL Irish, and we real Irish deny you of your Irish-ness!" Yes, let's all just toss any admiration for one's family background out because it is only exclusive to us! Well, won't you be sorry when one day you feel your culture is not appreciated or forgotten for good.
Would you all rather Americans just throw away the ancestry that they can so proudly trace back to? So what would you say they are, ethnically? That idiotic term: just White Americans, is that it? And then you have people in Europe talking about how European identity is fading and how no genetically indigenous people care or love their heritage anymore? The fact that some "white" Americans still care enough about their roots to acknowledge and embrace them is absolutely wonderful (I say this as a non-white person, too).
Your brethren may not be your nationality and live halfway across in a foreign land, but they have your BLOOD. The Irish, the Germans, the English, the Chinese, the Russians and etc etc etc-it goes for all "nationalities": You are of the same/similar genetic makeup (ethnically); it only happened that some stayed in their native country, and others went to live in America. And I agree, the people in their native home and the ones in America are NOT necessarily the same culturally, but how can someone go about rejecting the authentic blood of his brother? The mentality "I'm more real than you" is just distasteful.
FWI, stuff about ethnicity gets tricky here in the US. "American" is not an ethnic culture. Nearly everyone here came from somewhere else across either the Pacific or Atlantic. Their blood didn't stop running Irish because their grandparents landed in America.
What are you blabbing on about!?
@@michelleyates2522 there are all fekin idiots.
You do realize conan is one of the most Irish people in the world, like dna wise hes 100% Irish
@@WizardOfTheHill well he can say he's ethnically Irish then, there's no problem with that but usually (especially in Europe) when you say "I'm Irish", you're talking about your nationality and the culture you grew up in. Granted, I don't know how much Irish culture Conan has been around but it's just that a lot of the time, those who are so proud to claim the heritage have very little knowledge on the country, e.g. regarding news and politics, even history, etc.
Just in general, because Europe is so mixed, if our parents were already born in the same country as us, we're from that country. My friend is half Italian, half German, her mother is born in Germany after the grandparents had immigrated. I have never once heard her say she is Italian or Italian-German, she's just German. Same goes for my half Nigerian half German friend. Her dad is from Nigeria and immigrated a few years before she was born. Granted, she grew up living with just her mother but she has never said she's "African-German" or something like that. She's black/mixed and she says that sometimes, but other than that, if she is asked where she is from or to just say what she identifies as, she just says German.
@Shelley Dong. Well said !

Hello thanks for your love and support, fans like you is the reason why we keep moving forward, have you been to any of my concert?
As an Irish person I speak for many of us when I say there is nothing more annoying when people whose great great grand uncles best friends neighbour was Irish claim their nationality is Irish. Having Irish ancestry and cultural identity makes you Irish, knowing the cúpla focail gaeilge makes you Irish. But people whose identity is for example American their name is American their passport is American their accent their manner of speech and expressions, their very identity cannot claim to be Irish it's kind of offensive. I have family in Australia but I don't claim to be Australian.
He didn't say his nationality was Irish, he meant his ethnoreligious group. Have you visited or lived in America? You're being quite general, who are you referring to? Conan prides himself on being 100% Irish-Catholic, which is a ethnoreligious group. He even made a joke that he married an impure beast because although she is of 100% Celtic descent, she's part Scott and Welsh. :D Maybe, you're talking about the people that are like 10% Irish.
Literally no one whose nationaity isn't irish has ever claimed it was
Thanks for your love and support ♥️
He can still do the northern irish accent to a tee.
.....thats because he is irish..
Yes but he has lived in America for alot of his life. Normally after more than 4 or 5 years you would begin to forget your original accent and pick up a new one. His accent is more diluted now but when asked how he used to talk he recalls a northern irish accent perfectly.
He still has a fairly noticeable Northern Irish accent, you can hear it clearly in his vowels.
You can’t fundamentally change your accent.
You either grip harder to your accent when you live elsewhere, or you lose it.
The only reason I can vouch for the O'Brien Irish last name is from Star Trek. 😂
Man, Liam needs to record some audio books.
Guys, even though one was not born in a certain country, he can still say he is "from" that country if his ancestors are from there. An Indian man or woman that was born in America can say they are Indian, a Chinese man or woman born in America can say they are Chinese, an English man or woman born in America can say they are English, etc.. Come off of your bullshit.
+Bill Smith
Then I'm an African, cuz that's where my earliest ancestor is from
Yeah but it's like his great grandparents -
My grandfather is English decent, actually a Mayflower dependent when it comes to this subject he immediately States his English heritage/ancestry.
+Bill Smith
Ridiculous. An American with Irish heritage isn't Irish. They are not FROM Ireland. They are an American with Irish heritage/Irish American. Are we all going to say we're really African then? SMH..
Bill Smith How can they say they're from a country if they're not? That's just lying. Saying they have *insert ethnicity here* ancestry is a different case.
Tom cruise is Irish too, So is Gerard Butler and Colin Farrel, All very unique in their own way. But Liam and Conan both have that pale skin, and medium reddish brown hair that Irish people are known for.
gerard butlers Scottish not irish
aine mcstay Butler was born in Scotland but is of Irish descent, and had a strict Roman Catholic upbringing.
yeah but he is scottish raised
Patty Walker
and "roman catholic" whatever relates how to his parents' nationality? Cut all this religion bullshit off people, wake up already
He is proud that he's from Scotland, but don't ask ME to wake up...he was raised up as an Irish Roman Catholic in Scotland, and he is a Celtic fan. Don't act like you don't know what that means.
I’m from the same hometown as Liam neeson! Good old ballymena
My grandma has an irish accent, lives in england, but she says "when I go back to ireland they all say I sound british"
I always get hated on for this but it is NORTHERN Ireland, different country guys.
Dogswollop
Esgoda ?
why would you care in fairness? It's all the same island, it's a bit odd hearing that come from someone with a surname like yours if you don't mind me saying. We (nationalists) have to live with union flags flying in the country and most of us don't care, it's all about give and take.
Gotta get those eyes fixed then
I'm not sectarian man haha I've had family members fight and die for Britain, many catholics also want to be a part of Britain. I agree it was a land took by force but I'm loyal to being a part of the United Kingdom and hope one day the country will have true peace. Sure nationalists will be pissed off and the day it becomes a united Ireland the unionists will kick off. So its all fucked
I am happy that Conan is proud of his heritage... But I am so tired of other Americans claiming that they are Irish, or German or English... Just because their great great great grandfather was.
It's a more nuanced issue than that, it's understandable if you had one gggreat grandfather but then he married off into the rest of society but in many cases as can be seen in Boston and with conan, they only stay within the diaspora, marrying and socialising with only other Irish peoples, this means that the concentration of Irish ethnicity and culture stays true, in my case I'm British yes, but I'm third generation Irish, I have the cultural background of Ireland and I speak Irish with my grandpa who did the same with his, we attend clan meets in Monaghan and practice the Catholic faith. Often in Britain or the americas because its such a patchwork of cultures there is no one singular American culture and hence people stick with the past. Also you have to remember that although great and even great great sounds long ago, that it's actually ver my recent, eg my grandparents visit the graves of their own grandparents each year and recollecting memories of them, with Ireland and Scotland having 60 million people of their ethnic grouping around the world it is the single most lopsided diaspora about so much so that Ireland has a minister for the diaspora. On paper the claim to Irish identity may seem annoying and vapid and this is understandable but in practice it's a way of life and often not a choice.
all white people are the same...so it doesn't matter anyway
he's rob roy and most importantly Michael Collins
Conan: How fast do you burn?
Liam: (2sec pause) Fast!
It sounds like Brad Pitt in Snatched lol
