Over the years, Liam Neeson has made a name for himself as a suave action star after the success of the Taken series and many other adventure thrillers. The veteran actor has also flexed his acting skills in many intense dramas including Steven Spielberg’s Schindler’s List. With rugged good looks to match, Neeson has been a fan favorite, especially among the female population.

While The Grey star isn’t new to fan adulation, he was left a bit dissatisfied after a particular interview. In an appearance to promote his film Marlowe in February 2023 for the popular talk show The View, the Taken star was unimpressed by the overly gushing nature of the host which resulted in the conversation being steered away from more important discussions.
Here’s Why Liam Neeson Did Not Enjoy His Appearance in The View
Apart from being one of Hollywood’s most bankable stars, Liam Neeson is also known as an actor of intellect and someone who isn’t keen on keeping the conversation about himself. The star, who has always enjoyed discussions of a different nature, was left feeling unimpressed and uncomfortable during the promotions of his film, Marlowe.

The Marksman actor who appeared on the popular US talk show The View to speak about his neo-noir thriller, was faced with his host Joy Behar’s confessions that she had a massive crush on him. This led to the conversation about his film being continuously diverted to Behar’s fangirling which left Neeson rather irritated. Speaking to Rolling Stone, the Ordinary Love star said,
“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. I’m uncomfortable in those situations, you know?”
Neeson went on to admit that he was fortunate to have a meaningful conversation after the show ended, with one of the hosts who was a prosecutor. The celebrity was grateful that his embarrassing encounter on the show was quickly forgotten thanks to this small but significant interaction.
Liam Neeson Did Not Do James Bond For This Reason
Before Pierce Brosnan was cast as James Bond in a series of films in the late 90s and early 2000s, many actors were considered by producer Barbara Broccoli for the role. One of the stars in the reckoning to play the secret agent was Liam Neeson. The Blacklight actor revealed that he was asked by Broccoli if he was interested in taking on the role but eventually refused it owing to his late wife Natasha Richardson’s ultimatum to him. Speaking to Rolling Stone, the actor said,
“And then my lovely wife [Natasha Richardson], God rest her soul, said to me while we were shooting Nell down in the Carolinas, “Liam, I want to tell you something. If you play James Bond, we’re not getting married.”

Neeson went on to jokingly state that his wife may have been threatened by the countless Bond girls that the character had to sleep within the films which resulted in her laying down this firm rule.
