Surprise reason Neighbours star was thrilled to be beaten up by Hollywood actor while filming movie in Victoria
Brett Tucker had a giant smile on his face after being 'beaten up' by Hollywood heavyweight Liam Neeson—and who wouldn't? The Neighbours star, 53, who is currently filming The Mongoose alongside Neeson, 72, in Victoria, posted a picture with the Taken alum on Saturday. In the snap, Tucker was drenched in fake blood as he posed with the acting icon. The pair presumably took part in a fake fight scene in the film, which left the Aussie star looking worse for wear. 'When #liamneeson kicks your arse, its stays kicked,' he captioned the post, which has garnered over 3,000 likes. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The Mongoose is an action-thriller flick that tells the story of war hero Ryan 'Fang' Flanagan (Neeson) who is wrongly accused of a crime. The film, featuring Marisa Tomei and Michael Chiklis, will be the third project Neeson has made in Victoria in the last four years. In March, the Batman Begins actor was spotted cruising down Altona Pier behind the wheel of a black Ford Mustang as he performed a car stunt for the film. Neeson stunned onlookers as he filmed what appeared to be the flick's gripping climax, in which his character is forced into a corner and speeds down a jetty. Meanwhile, Neeson's co-star Michael Chiklis, 61, recently shared a gallery of photos to social media capturing some of the local sights he saw while staying in Melbourne. The Fantastic Four actor wrote some heartfelt words alongside pictures of the city's famous skyscrapers, the Yarra River and some tasty-looking local dishes. 'Melbourne is happening! Streets are packed and full of life. Wonderful art, music, food, cocktails and coffee! Even the skies are alive. #goodvibes,' Chiklis gushed. It comes after the Oscar-nominated actor recently lent his star power to a house listing video for a suburban home in Melbourne. The veteran performer featured in the amusing promo which uses famous catchphrases from Neeson's 2008 box office hit Taken. Neeson agreed to provide a voice-over for the clip because he is friends with the family, who own the four-bedroom home in Mulgrave. The modern two-storey home, which went to auction earlier this month, includes a pool and has a price guide of $1.3million to $1.4million. Neeson became acquainted with the family—Dean Fay, his wife Sonia and their daughters—while making films in Australia, reported the Herald Sun. In the promo, Neeson, who was unable to appear in the clip due to filming commitments, is heard telling sales Ming Xu to send him a video of the house. He mentioned he doesn't have time to inspect the property personally because he is busy making a film. Xu then tells Neeson he better be quick to buy the house or it will be 'taken'—a cheeky reference to the star's hit franchise. 'Oh, very original,' the action star sarcastically replied. The punch line of the video uses another nod to Taken, in which a suited figure can be seen standing in front of the Mulgrave home. Xu, who is relaxing in a pool, takes a call from the menacing-sounding Neeson. 'I didn't give you the address,' the agent tells the star, who replies: 'I told you I'd find you.' Owner Fay told the Herald Sun he wrote a script and Neeson made some changes before recording his dialogue. 'Not many actors would do that for a buddy at the end of the day. He's a very generous guy,' the filmmaker said. Fay is a well-known assistant director who has worked with Neeson on projects, including 2022's Blacklight, which was filmed in Melbourne and Canberra.

5 things Rory McIlroy may want to say ahead of his comeback in Canada as burning issues light up golf
The Grand Slam hero is due to speak this week and his chat will be fascinating Anticipation is building for Rory McIlroy 's return to golf. On and off the course. The career Grand Slam king has not played since the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow and will return at the RBC Canadian Open. McIlroy's comeback is a thrill for the fans in Ontario and, beforehand, it promises to be an enlightening affair when he talks to golf fans via the media prior to teeing-up in Thursday's opening round. The Northern Irishman has been publicly silent since the PGA having also not spoken at Quail Hollow with his fans and the sporting public eager to hear his thoughts on key issues. Record Sport looks at five burning topics which McIlroy will likely address during his press conference, which is scheduled for Wednesday. The silence of Quail Hollow McIlroy engages superbly during his media briefings and is often generous with his time during pre-and-post round interviews. It was, therefore, a surprise to many at Quail Hollow when he opted not to speak at any point during the PGA Championship. It is not obligatory for any player to talk, so he did nothing wrong. But it was out of character and he may offer the reasons why. Driver test nonsense Naturally, there was a theory around Quail Hollow that McIlroy's decision not to speak was linked with the fact it dripped into the public domain that his driver failed a routine test. Given it's a regular occurrence and happened to several other players during that week, it seemed odd that info leaked only of his driver as not conforming. And became such a big deal for some, especially given Scottie Scheffler 's driver also failed and that was not known until after he'd teed-off for his final round and it was revealed by Xander Schauffele. McIlroy could put that theory to bed or back it up. What's your game face? McIlroy had a lot to deal with at the PGA Championship given the sheer size and achievement of his success at The Masters. He is used to winning events, but he even he admitted the enormity of the Augusta triumph given where it puts him in the legend of the game. A two-week break since Quail Hollow could have recharged the batteries and given him vibrancy again for Canada. What he's been doing in the past fortnight will be of much interest. Memorial decision Jack Nicklaus and McIlroy clearly have a close relationship. The fact the Golden Bear and the Masters champion sat down prior to Augusta and went through the course shot-by-shot in build-up tells everyone that. McIlroy's decision not to play Nicklaus' Memorial tournament last week is no big deal. He's got a punishing schedule and has to take break periods to stay fresh. But some were surprised when Nicklaus admitted he hadn't been contacted by McIlroy about it. He may explain. Growing the game This became the most-annoying phrase in golf when it was stated by numerous players upon their defection to LIV, yet McIlroy is doing just that. By announcing he's returning to Australia at the end of this year and playing in the inaugural event in India, he's taking his iconic status and the game across the world. McIlroy is opting out of Signature Events on the PGA Tour and into events around the globe. He puts great store in National Opens and may reiterate that fact.
