Liam Neeson has been removed from the Queen's University Belfast student prospectus after he admitted wanting to kill a black man when he found out his friend was raped.
The Taken actor, 66, featured in the university's student brochure in 2018 and 2019, but sources claim he has been removed from the 2020 edition.
He appeared in the 'heritage and heroes' section as he enrolled in a physics and computer science course there in 1971 but quit for a job at the Guinness brewery.
BBC Radio Ulster claims he has been airbrushed out of the list, which includes Mary McAleese and James Francis Partridge. Queen's University is yet to comment on the claims.
Mr Neeson has not revealed exactly when he carried the weapon, but said it was '40 years ago'.

Mr Neeson was branded a racist after he made his shock confession during a publicity interview for his new film Cold Pursuit in February.
He became embroiled in a global row after admitting he walked the streets with a cosh 'hoping some 'black b******' would come out of a pub and have a go so that he could kill him'.
He insisted he wasn't racist and that he went to a priest to confess afterwards.
Mr Neeson said at the time: 'There's something primal – God forbid you've ever had a member of your family hurt under criminal conditions.'
'She [his friend] handled the situation of the rape in the most extraordinary way.
'But my immediate reaction was I asked, did she know who it was? No. What colour were they? She said it was a black person.

'I went up and down areas with a cosh, hoping I’d be… approached by somebody – I'm ashamed to say that – and I did it for maybe a week, hoping some 'black b******d' would come out of a pub and have a go at me about something, you know? So that I could kill him.'
He went on: 'It took me a week, maybe a week and a half, to go through that. She would say, "Where are you going?" and I would say, "I'm just going out for a walk." You know? "What’s wrong?" "No no, nothing's wrong.'"
He admitted it was a 'horrible' time and he's learned a valuable lesson from his 'awful' reaction.
Mr Neeson added that growing up in Northern Ireland during the Troubles has given him insight into the 'primal need for revenge' and how destructive that can be.
MailOnline has contacted Queen's University for comment.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
