Liam Neeson was left ‘unimpressed’ after his recent interview on The View, over the ‘embarrassing’ topics.
The Taken actor appeared on the ABC program on February 15 to promote his upcoming film, Marlowe – with Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar and Sunny Hostin among the panelists.
The conversation began with the 70-year-old explaining that he hadn’t been on the show for a long time, to which Joy replied: ‘We talk about you so much I feel like you’ve been here.’
Ana Navarro interjected: ‘You talk about him so much,’ while Alyssa Farah Griffin joked: ‘Joy wants to get taken by you’.
Elsewhere in the segment, they encouraged the Hollywood star to add ‘hearts’ to the Valentine’s Day cards he had given them behind the scenes.
Sunny also shared more details of her colleague’s admiration for him, explaining: ‘It’s no secret that Joy thinks you’re the hottest and the greatest ever.’

After a video montage of all the times the host had mentioned the action icon’s name on the show, he joked: ‘By the way, you received the cheques?’
In a new interview with Rolling Stone, talk turned to the episode when Liam admitted that he wasn’t happy with the way things went with the cast, expecting a different direction.
‘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. 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 for years and Joy a little bit, but I just wasn’t impressed.
‘I’m uncomfortable in those situations. One of the ladies [Sunny] is a prosecutor and we had a little chat afterward and it was a good, intelligent conversation, but then the segment’s all about this 13, 14-year-old crush.
