Read an news report years ago. After the Lyric Theatre in Belfast was refurbished in 2011. Liam Neeson and James Nesbitt were invited to the reopening ceremony, having cut their teeth there as young actors. It was expected that they would be there for the photos and handshakes and be promptly away. No they stay for the whole event, hung around for about five hours, chating and enjoying the nostalgia. Says alot about their character.
