Liam Neeson Describes Feeling ‘Uncomfortable’ and ‘Embarrassed’ as a Guest on ‘The View

Actor Liam Neeson has expressed his discomfort with his recent appearance on the daytime talk show, “The View.” The actor, who was promoting his 100th film, “Marlowe,” felt that the segment was “embarrassing” due to co-host Joy Behar’s focus on her admiration for Neeson, which included a montage of clips of her on-air comments about him. One of the co-hosts even joked, “Joy wants to get taken by you.”

During his interview with Rolling Stone, Neeson said that he was initially excited about appearing on the show, as he thought it would be an opportunity to discuss gun violence in America. However, he was disappointed by the focus on Behar’s crush on him, and he felt uncomfortable with the situation. Neeson stated that he had congratulated the co-hosts on their discussion about gun violence in America, but during the segment, it was all “BS with Joy and Liam Neeson and having a crush.”

Neeson’s discomfort highlights the importance of professional conduct in interviews and talk shows, where guests should feel comfortable and able to discuss their work without any personal distractions. Behar’s behavior detracted from the serious issue of gun violence in America, which Neeson wanted to discuss. Instead, the actor felt that his presence was simply a tool to keep Behar entertained and focused on her infatuation.

During his interview with Rolling Stone, Neeson also discussed his long film career, his reputation as an action star, and his fear that “Taken” would be a flop. He also revealed that his late wife, Natasha Richardson, refused to marry him if he played James Bond. Despite his fears and misgivings, Neeson has had a long and successful career in film, with “Taken” becoming a box office hit despite his doubts.

In conclusion, Liam Neeson’s recent appearance on “The View” highlights the importance of professionalism in interviews and talk shows. Behar’s behavior detracted from the serious issue of gun violence in America, which Neeson wanted to discuss. The actor’s discomfort with the situation serves as a reminder that guests should feel comfortable and able to discuss their work without any personal distractions.
