Liam Neeson is back in The Naked Gun reboot, deviating significantly from the kind of movies he usually does. But it is clear from the early reaction to the new comedy reboot that producer Seth MacFarlane knew exactly why Liam Neeson would fit perfectly into the role.
The actor has been around in the industry for decades. There is hardly anything he hasn’t done yet. From action movies to Oscar-winning gems, Neeson has taken on a wide range of roles. He is among the most diverse actors in the industry. While everyone may want to work with him, Neeson doesn’t want to work with certain kinds of actors.
Liam Neeson details the actors he would never work with
Liam Neeson talked to The Rolling Stone recently about his new movie, The Naked Gun, and discussed many different aspects of his career and acting. While answering a question about the skills he has acquired over his long stretch in the industry, Liam Neeson stated that there is a particular kind of professional he would never want to share the screen with.
Speaking about the skills he has acquired, Neeson said, “Certainly with acting, you’re always questing. You know what I mean? I never feel I’ve done it. There’s always stuff to learn, with different actors and actresses you’re working with, as well as different directors. As I said earlier, I just try to be real. And show up on time.”
He elaborated on showing up on time, “That’s very important. I hear disturbing stories about actors and actresses who are very gifted, but show up on the set two, three, four hours late.” He added, “I would never work with those people. I think it’s so insulting.”
He further emphasized the importance of punctuality, adding, “Yes, very, very important, I think. Because 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.”
The Naked Gun is now playing in theatres.
