It looks like Liam Neeson won’t be returning as a guest on The View.
The 70-year-old Irish actor described his appearance on the ABC talk show last week as “embarrassing” and told Rolling Stone the entire segment left him with “a bad feeling”.
During his appearance on the show, co-host Joy Behar couldn’t help but express her longtime crush on the “Taken” actor.
In fact, the segment included a montage of clips showing Behar making bizarre on-air comments like, “I just want my ashes thrown on Liam Neeson.”
As the actor promoted his new movie, Marlowe — his 100th film — one of the show’s panelists remarked, “Joy wants to be taken from you.”
“I was in the dressing room having a cup of tea and turning on the TV and I was like, oh, this is going to be great,” Neeson told the magazine.
“You talk about gun violence in America, and I agree that it’s an American problem. I go on stage and join the ladies at intermission and I congratulated them on this discussion.”
“And then our segment starts and it’s just all this crap 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 continued. adding, “I’m uncomfortable in situations like this, you know?”

The actor said he later had a “good, intelligent conversation” with co-host Sunny Hostin after the on-air segment.
“But then the segment is all about this thirteen, fourteen year old crush. It’s just a little bit embarrassing,” he added.
The actor has had something of an outspoken streak in recent weeks, especially when he sensationally called UFC star Conor McGregor a “little leprechaun”.

“That little goblin Conor McGregor, he’s giving Ireland a bad name,” Neeson told Men’s Health earlier this month. “I know he’s fit and I admire him for that. But I can’t take it.”
Neeson also said he “can’t stand” the UFC as he likened it to a “bar fight.”
