his appearance on the ABC talk show last week as “embarrassing,” telling Rolling Stone the entire segment left him feeling “uncomfortable.”During his appearance on the show, co-host Joy Behar couldn’t help but air out her longtime crush on the “Taken” actor.In fact, the segment included a montage of clips that showed Behar making bizarre on-air comments such as, “I would just like to have my ashes sprinkled over Liam Neeson.”As the actor promoted his new film “Marlowe” — which marks his 100th film — one of the panelists on the show remarked, “Joy wants to get taken by you.”“I was in the dressing room drinking a cup of tea, turned the TV up, and I thought, oh, this will be great,” Neeson told the magazine. “They’re talking about gun violence in America, and I agree that it’s an American problem.

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,” he went on, adding, “I’m uncomfortable in those situations, you know?”The actor said he later had a “good, intelligent conversation” with co-host Sunny Hostin following the on-air segment.“But then the segment’s all about this thirteen, fourteen-year-old crush.

It’s just a bit embarrassing,” he added.The actor has had somewhat of an outspoken streak in recent weeks, most notably when he sensationally called UFC star Conor McGregor a “little leprechaun.”“That little leprechaun Conor McGregor, he gives Ireland a bad name,” Neeson told Men’s Health earlier this month. “I know he’s fit, and I admire him for that.
