Liam Neeson reveals he will ‘never work with’ actors who have this ‘disturbing’ on-set habit

Liam Neeson has detailed the type of actors he will 'never work with' who have a ‘disturbing’ on-set habit that he cannot stand.

Having starred in the likes of Taken and, more recently, The Naked Gun with Pamela Anderson, Neeson's reputation in the world of Hollywood couldn't be greater.

Even at the age of 73, the Irish actor is still managing to bag roles within the film industry, and he's seemingly on top of his game right now.

The Naked Gun opened to an impressive $17 million at the box office, with Neeson certainly to be credited with its initial success.

And while the actor is seemingly content with where his career is heading and has gone, there's a certain type of actor that does not impress the Taken star.

Neeson told Rolling Stone: "I hear disturbing stories about actors and actresses who are very gifted, but show up on the set two, three, four hours late. I would never work with those people.

"I think it’s so insulting. You have a crew of like 60, 70, 80 people waiting for you. The very least you can do is give them the respect by turning up on time."

Neeson did not cite any actors by name, though we doubt he was speaking about anyone who was involved in The Naked Gun, considering how highly the actor speaks of co-star Anderson during that particular gig.

The actor's latest venture into the world of comedy was certainly a break from tradition, considering he is certainly best known for his starring roles in action movies.

Well, in a recent interview with Variety, Neeson appeared to suggest he may be done with action films for good, citing his age.

"I', 73, for f**k’s sake," he told the outlet. "I don’t want to insult audiences if they’re watching whole fight scenes and it’s not me. I just wouldn’t do it. Up until recently, I liked doing my own fight stuff.

"But I don’t want to be doing that stuff with a Zimmer frame or walking stick. Sure, there might be another one out there, but nothing definite on the horizon."

Neeson and Anderson have been promoting The Naked Gun together, which sparked questions of a budding relationship.

This has also been bolstered by the fact that somewhere along the film, their two characters become romantically involved and the actors’ chemistry has been so good, people are insisting the pair must be a couple in real life too.

Neither party has confirmed such romance.
