Daily Mail last month revived the actor’s old quote about the Islamic call to prayer getting ‘into his spirit’ while filming Taken 2 in Istanbul, Turkey.
However, while attending Taken 3 premiere in Dubai, the 62-year-old actor was keen to clear the air once and for all.
“No, I’m not converting to Islam,” he said in an interview with Al Arabiya.
Neeson clarified that he did not have a religious awakening, but rather learned to enjoy the Islamic prayer.
This was Neeson’s first trip to the emirate and, according to Al Arabiya, Neeson’s visit marks the first time a Hollywood actor has attended a Middle East film premiere outside of a film festival.
Taken 3 has held its own as No. 1 the box office, bringing in more than $40 million this past weekend.
