In an interview with Rolling Stone, Neeson expressed his disappointment with the segment and the hosts’ behavior. He also mentioned that he had a good and intelligent conversation with one of the hosts, Sunny Hostin, after the show. However, the segment itself was focused on Behar’s crush, which Neeson found to be “chaotic” and “embarrassing.”
The uncomfortable segment began innocently enough, with Behar jokingly telling Neeson that they talk about him so much on the show that she feels like he’s been there before.
However, the jokes continued, with one of the hosts even asking Neeson to draw hearts on their “valentines” for him. This made the actor visibly uncomfortable, and he sat with his arms crossed, not joining in on the jokes or cracking a smile.
It’s no surprise that Neeson was uncomfortable with the hosts’ antics, as he has previously expressed his discomfort with filming sex scenes and being objectified by fans. The Irish-born actor has had a successful career, starring in critically acclaimed films such as Schindler’s List, Michael Collins, and Gangs of New York.
However, his late-career renaissance as an action star has drawn particular attention from his fans around the world.
In conclusion, Liam Neeson’s guest appearance on The View turned out to be an uncomfortable and disappointing experience for the actor. He had been hoping for a serious conversation on an important topic, but instead, the segment focused on a trivial and embarrassing topic.
Neeson’s disappointment with the show’s hosts and their behavior serves as a reminder that celebrities are not always comfortable with being objectified and objectifying behavior.
