Last week, Liam Neeson chatted with the ladies of The View to promote his new movie Marlowe. Neeson, however, found himself in an "uncomfortable" situation when co-host Joy Behar made her fondness of the actor blatantly apparent.
At one point, an old clip played showing Behar morbidly joking she wanted her ashes to be spread all over Neeson when she's gone.
At the wrapping of the segment, Whoopi Goldberg admitted she was "afraid" to have him back as a guest on the show.
You can watch a montage of the more cringeworthy moments below.

As you can imagine, Neeson was less than humored by his interaction with the co-host.
He told Rolling Stone:
"I was in the dressing room drinking a cup of tea, turned the TV up, and I thought, oh, this will be great. 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."
But then, he revealed, things took a turn.
"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?"
"One of the ladies [Sunny Hostin] is a prosecutor and we had a little chat afterward and it was a good, intelligent conversation, but then the segment's all about this - oof - thirteen, fourtenen-year-old crush."
"It's just a bit embarrassing."
Viewers of the segment wholeheartedly agreed with the Taken star, many noting that if the roles were reversed, similar behavior from a male would be completely unacceptable.
\u201c@FreeBeacon Gross\u2026 poor Liam!\u201d— Washington Free Beacon (@Washington Free Beacon) 1677091109
\u201c@EW Literally 1 of the cringiest interviews of an a-lister I've seen in a long time. Flat out sexualized him for the entire interview, despite The VIEW famous for having major heated discussion CONDEMIMG when another show does it to a woman #hypocrites #LiberalismIsAMentalDisease\u201d— Entertainment Weekly (@Entertainment Weekly) 1677004509
\u201cThe View owes Liam Neeson an apology, in particular Joy Behar. Can you imagine a man gushing over a woman actress like this?\u201d— \ud83c\udf1e\ud83c\udf3b\ud83d\udc24 (@\ud83c\udf1e\ud83c\udf3b\ud83d\udc24) 1677021634
\u201c@TheView Ewwww, poor guy getting sexually harassed by Joy Behar and Ana Navarro\u201d— The View (@The View) 1676502001
\u201c@TheView Disgusting! If roles were reversed and it was a male in the montage about a female, there would be rioting in the streets! That should have never aired. I never watch the view because of all the hypocrisy. They owe him an apology, a public one!\u201d— The View (@The View) 1676502001
\u201c@TheView Imagine if men ogled over a female actress like Bahar. Just another example of the double standard in western culture. Mysandry much?!?! Just saying.\u201d— The View (@The View) 1676502001
\u201c@TheView That was painful to watch for Liam\u201d— The View (@The View) 1676502001
\u201c@TheView An Embarrassment...Poor Liam.\u201d— The View (@The View) 1676502001
\u201c@TheView I can see why he felt embarrassed... It was a bit overboard.\u201d— The View (@The View) 1676502001
\u201c@TheView Can you imagine if male hosts did that to a female guest? It was gross, and unspeakably rude.\u201d— The View (@The View) 1676502001
Fortunately, during breaks from Behar's thirsting, Neeson did get a chance to address some more serious topics, with Behar engaging in conversation about the 30th anniversary of Neeson's film Schindler's List and asking him for his thoughts on anti-Semitism in America.
