And did he beat up on his little brothers, Chris, who’s two years younger, and Liam, eight years younger?
“Every chance I could,” Luke quipped. “And I still do. They’re really tall, but they’re actually quite soft—and they cry a lot. I take great joy in making them cry.”
So Liam—whose uncles used to call him “Triple-6” (“the devil’s number, yeah—they said they tried to exorcise me at one point but it didn’t work”)—wasn’t exactly joking when he told Conan O’Brien in 2012, “I feel like that’s when you really get to know each other, when you give someone a good punch in the face. It’s one way of expressing love. That was how we did it in our house—’hey, man, good to see you, here’s a punch in the face for you.'”
It got “pretty bad,” he acknowledged, but added that he and Luke weren’t the ones who fought. “Me and Chris used to fight nonstop, to the point where I remember my mum and dad went away to Europe for three months, and me and my oldest brother, Luke, stayed at our grandma’s house, and Chris had to stay at my uncle’s house because we were too much trouble to be together.”
