Liam Neeson, famous for his role in the Taken series, recently revealed that he experienced agonizing leg spasms, later attributed to excessive coffee consumption. Despite his continued success in action thrillers like “Memory,” released in April 2022, Neeson found himself grappling with chronic pain.

Seeking relief, Neeson turned to GB News broadcaster Eamonn Holmes, who also dealt with chronic pain. During a chance encounter on a plane, Neeson shared a piece of wisdom: “Rest is rust, and action is lotion.”

Neeson had previously discussed his ordeal with leg cramps, describing the excruciating pain they caused. A massage therapist, known for working with Broadway dancers, helped alleviate his symptoms. The therapist, upon learning of Neeson’s caffeine consumption, suggested a link between coffee and muscle cramps.

Upon switching to decaffeinated drinks, Neeson reported a significant reduction in cramps and admitted his newfound addiction to decaf tea as a healthier alternative to coffee.

Endurance sports can contribute to lactic acid buildup in muscles when the body lacks sufficient oxygen to convert glucose into energy.

In summary, Liam Neeson’s battle with leg spasms, initially attributed to coffee, led him to embrace decaffeinated alternatives, offering relief from chronic pain.
