AceShowbiz - Liam Neeson didn't have a good time during his recent appearance on "The View". In a new interview, the "Taken" actor spoke against the hosts of the ABC morning show for making him "uncomfortable" in the February 15 episode.
Speaking with Rolling Stone, the 70-year-old star shared that he wasn't impressed by host Joy Behar's discussion about her longtime crush on him. "I was in the dressing room drinking a cup of tea, turned the TV up, and I thought, oh, this will be great. They're talking about gun violence in America, and I agree that it's an American problem," he said.
"I go onstage and join the ladies during the break, and I was congratulating them on this discussion," he explained. "And then our segment starts and it's just all this BS with Joy [Behar] and Liam Neeson and having a crush, and I've known [Whoopi Goldberg] for years and Joy a little bit, but I just wasn't impressed."
During his appearance on "The View", in which he promoted his new film "Marlowe", co-host Ava Navarro told Joy, "You talk about him so much." Alyssa Farah Griffin later joked, "Joy wants to get 'taken' by you."
Later in the segment, the talk show played footage of Joy gushing over Liam during previous episodes. The actor then joked, "Joy, you received the checks, right?" The co-host responded with a thumbs-up.
Prior to this, Liam also opened up about his embarrassment over filming intimate scenes in a recent interview with Vanity Fair. "I'll be honest, when I see a sex scene, I just can't look at them. I just get embarrassed," "The Marksman" actor said. "I know they are choreographed and stuff, but I don't need to see that."
He additionally weighed in on Penn Badgley saying that he would no longer shoot intimate scenes for "You". "I absolutely agree and support him," Liam said. "I don't like to do them. I've done quite a few sex scenes and I would have preferred to leave it to the imagination, especially for ladies, the actresses."
