Action star Liam Neeson recently opened up about a surprising personal insecurity, his legs, while promoting his upcoming comedic role in the “Naked Gun” reboot.
Liam Neeson’s Hidden Insecurity
Known for his intense action films and commanding presence, Liam Neeson revealed a long-standing personal insecurity on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.” The actor admitted he’s always felt self-conscious about his legs.
This discomfort came to light when Colbert showed a clip from the “Naked Gun” trailer, featuring Neeson in a skirt and red and white underwear. Despite Colbert’s compliment, Neeson confessed, “As a kid, and I still do, I have always had a thing about my legs.”
He recalled being a boxer and feeling observed. “You’re wearing just a vest and pair of shorts, and I used to keep thinking, ‘Oh my god, they are looking at my legs,’ and then I used to get punched.”
A Return to Comedy with ‘Naked Gun’
Neeson is stepping away from his usual high-octane roles for a comedic turn in the “Naked Gun” reboot. He’ll be playing the son of Leslie Nielsen’s iconic character, Frank Drebin.
The actor shared how he got involved in the project. He had previously worked with Seth MacFarlane, who approached him four years ago with the idea. Neeson humorously noted that once he heard the offer, he quickly agreed.
On-Screen Intimacy and Real-Life Buzz
The film also features an intimate scene with Pamela Anderson. Neeson discussed his first experience working with an intimacy coordinator, describing it as “a little bit strange.” He quipped that both he and Anderson “knew what to do” without much guidance.
Adding to the film’s buzz, rumors of a real-life romance between Neeson and Anderson have surfaced. Both actors have addressed the speculation, with Neeson telling the Today Show, “We discovered we had a lovely, budding chemistry—as two actors, it’s like, ‘Oh, this is nice. Let’s not mull this. Let’s just let it breathe.’”
