In an interview with Rolling Stone, Neeson discussed his interview on ABC's "The View," which aired almost a week ago. The actor recalled feeling "uncomfortable" during the show, mainly due to some of the hosts' reactions to his presence.

He had hoped that their conversation would center on a significant issue, mainly because he had overheard them discussing gun violence in America prior to his joining them on stage.

"I go onstage and join the ladies during the break, and I was congratulating them on this discussion," Neenson said about the hosts, Joy Behar, Whoopi Goldberg, Alyssa Griffin, and Sunny Hostin.

He added, per Insider, "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, you know?"

Neeson had come on the daytime show as part of his publicity tour for his film "Marlowe," which marked a huge milestone as his 100th film.

However, the actor was bombarded with remarks about Behar's infatuation with him for most of the show. A compilation of footage even showed Behar making comments such as, "I would simply like to have my ashes thrown over Liam Neeson."

The "The Grey" star did get the opportunity to explain why he chose to act in "Marlowe," citing the film's solid storyline. He also mentioned that this was his fourth time working with the movie's director, Neil Jordan.

In the movie, Neeson plays Philip Marlowe, a fictitious private eye created by Raymond Chandler. Diane Kruger, Jessica Lange, Alan Cumming, Ian Hart, and Danny Huston are also included in the cast.

Neeson also commented on his lengthy film career and reputation as an action star in other parts of his conversation with Rolling Stone.

He opened up about one of his highly-rated movies, "Taken," saying that he worried the film would be a commercial failure during its production.

Referencing his fears, the actor recalled begging the director to do away with a scene that seemed to share a similar narrative with other action flicks.

"I begged Pierre Morel, 'Please, can we cut this back? This is so corny. I feel I've seen this and heard this in so many movies,'" Neeson recounted the experience.

He added, "I've always thought this was a straight-to-video film, but was very surprised when Fox cleverly cut a trailer, showed it at big sporting events, and it became successful when it was released. Again, I was a little embarrassed."

Another part of the conversation saw Neeson reveal that his deceased wife Natasha Richardson wouldn't have wed him if he had ever accepted the role of James Bond,.

He shared the detail after being asked if he turned down playing the iconic role in 1995's "Golden Eye."

"My lovely wife, 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 said, adding that he was "interested" but did not get the role.

"She gave me a James Bond ultimatum. And she meant it!" he continued, then went on to say that his wife was emphatic about it because the fictional character was connected to the concept of being a lover of women.

The duo was married for almost two decades until Richardson passed away in 2009 after a skiing accident.
