Liam Neeson Calls Out 'The View' for 'BS' and 'Uncomfortable' Interview
The 'Taken' actor said he 'wasn't impressed' during a conversation about Joy Behar's years-long crush on him.
Apparently Liam Neeson didn't have the best experience on The View.
The Irish actor, 70, was featured on the ABC daytime talk show last week when the conversation was derailed by chatter about host Joy Behar's longtime crush on him—which didn't seem to impress Neeson in the slightest.
During the segment, the hosts played a highlight reel of all the numerous occasions where Behar, 80, fawned over Neeson, including one instance where she admitted his Taken films make her "aroused."
"How embarrassing" Behar exclaimed after the reel played, but it was Neeson who was really feeling uncomfortable during the cringe-worthy interaction, as he expressed in a recent conversation with Rolling Stone.
"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 recalled. "I go onstage and join the ladies during the break, and I was congratulating them on this discussion."
"And then our segment starts and it's just all this BS with Joy 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," he continued. "I'm uncomfortable in those situations, you know?"
However, Neeson did say that he and Sunny Hostin "had a little chat" after the show, which he called an "intelligent conversation."
"But then the segment’s all about this—oof—thirteen, fourteen-year-old crush. It’s just a bit embarrassing,” he concluded.
