HORSE: we’re going to be doing a scene together
LIAM NEESON: great
HORSE: hey weren’t you the dude in Taken?
LIAM NEESON: that’s right
HORSE: I thought I knew you from somewhere! https://t.co/qzVz9oqvtb— Marty Lawrence (@TeaAndCopy) October 9, 2018
Although, there were some cynics.

I am fucking sick of actors getting cast on the basis of what horses they know. https://t.co/HQrw9E9cws

That horse just wanted to make sure Liam's got his back if he's ever taken https://t.co/230CphN7bw

It seems that this isn’t the only time an acting animal has been happy to see an old ally.
This is absolutely true . There’s a horse George who I gave the speech in the forest in Gladiator on. Years later he was on the set of Robin Hood and we would have a chat everyday.
Same with the white horse Rusty in Robin Hood we chatted again on Les Mis. Lifelong friends. https://t.co/LqUxyfAymK— Russell Crowe (@russellcrowe) October 9, 2018
Viggo Mortensen bonded so closely with his horse in LOTR that he adopted him; I believe he did the same with his horse in Hidalgo. They’re remarkable partners with long memories and loyalty.

Look, Ted Danson made a film with Whoopi Goldberg and an elephant in the 1990s and that same elephant remembered him on the set of The Good Place last year so you and Liam Neeson can both get out of here with your horse stories because you can’t top that. https://t.co/ng9GkajYHn

Let’s hope none of them hold grudges.
