Derry Girls features surprise cameo from major Hollywood star
His codename on set was "the big fella"

The much-anticipated return of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Derry Girls kicked off with a huge surprise for viewers. Spoilers ahead!
The Derry Girls – an🐬d boy – were getting up to their usual antics in the opening episode of season ওthree. The teenagers found themselves in trouble with the law after accidentally helping two thieves rob Our Lady Immaculate College.
However, they were not the only ones in shock when they went to the police station. Viewers were left reeling after the inspector tasked with questioning them turned out to be Hollywood actor 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Liam Neeson.
Neeson, who hails from Ballymena in Northern Ireland, cameoed as an officer in the hilarious scene. In typical Derry Girls fashion, his brief appearance featured Michelle attempti💫ng to flirt with him, Claire panicking, and Ja🦋mes’ masculinity insulted.
Neeson’s character’s frustration when Erin could not stop referring to a non-existent tape was also a highlight – but it was when the teenagers brought Uncle Colm in to help them, that things really got hilarious. His rambling appeared even too much for the inspector to handle. The scene ended with the Taken star begging the girls to leave the station – and to bring Colm with ဣthem.
Fans were ♏left in shock at the surprise cameo, which the cast and crew had kept under wraps since filming. Posting on Twitter, : "As if the return of Derry Girls wasn’t exciting enough….. they bring in Liam Neeson."
: "The gasps out of everyone when Liam Neeson came on screen." A : "Liam Neeson fi🐽nds a role to surpass #Taken." While a : "As if Derry Girls got Liam Neeson in, LOVE IT. Just as good as always, this really will be a modern classic."

Derry Girls creator Lisa McGee also shared some insight into how they kept Neeson’s cameo a secret when filming the show. Posting on Twitter after it aired, : "Thanks for watching lads!
