There's something uniquely special about celebrities aren't shy about revealing what they actually think, rather than remaining diplomatically on the fence whenever they're asked to voice their opinion.
In the modern world, however, where people in the public eye are exposed to scrutiny and backlash on social media for just about anything, it's unsurprising that these celebrity encounters are becoming few and far in between.
One famed actor, who certainly never seemed to hold back in interviews, is Godfather star Ray Liotta, who is being affectionately remembered on social media for his unwavering honesty in an old interview with Andy Cohen on Watch What Happened Live.

During the TV appearance, Liotta found himself handcuffed to Jennifer Lopez in a game called Plead the Fifth, where he would be forced to answer a series of tough questions.
If he failed to answer, J-Lo would be forced to answer instead.
After being asked who the worst kisser was out of his former female co-stars, Liotta bluntly said: “Sigourney [Weaver].”
Cohen then asked who he felt the most overrated actor from the 80s and 90s was.
“As an actor?” Liotta said, then added, without flinching: “Clint Eastwood, probably.”
As laughter broke out in the studio, he shouted out: “I don’t give a s**t!”
As his final question, the actor was asked to name his favourite and least favourite J-Lo songs, which led to an uncomfortable few minutes as he confessed he didn't actually know any of her songs.
“Oh man, I don’t really know any of them,” he admitted, before Lopez jumped in and pointed out that he has actually been to a number of her concerts.
The clip has gone viral again after being posted on Twitter, where it was shared with the caption: "God! I miss Ray Liotta and his devil may care attitude.
"He didn’t even hesitate when asked who the most overrated actor was in the 80s/90s."
Another person commented: "I love Ray so much! and he's right, though, Clint even agrees with him, he sucked so much in the 80s."
Someone else said: "Zero hesitation. I miss him, too."
A third wrote: "HA HA! TBF, I don't think Eastwood has ever been rated much as an actor so much as a persona or presence."
Liotta passed away in 2022 at the age of 67 while in the Dominican Republic filming Dangerous Waters.
They certainly don't make them like him anymore.
