While McGregor believed he was pretty famous he was quite humble. He accepted he was not more famous than the Irish singer and lead vocalist Bono of the rock band U2. McGregor was then questioned if he thought he was bigger than Liam Neeson which he playfully avoided answering. “Don’t ever f**k with Liam Neeson yeah. He’s gonna f**ing get you and your whole family. He’ll f**k you all up,” said McGregor.

Conor McGregor was smart enough to know that the Taken star has a very particular set of skills that can prove troublesome. Regardless, Neeson seems to have a problem with McGregor as he thinks the Irish fighter gives Ireland a bad rep.

I hate it,” said Neeson.
