Liam Neeson reveals the type of actors he refuses to work with and why in new interview
Liam Neeson has made it clear that punctuality is non-negotiable in his work ethic.
In a new interview with Rolling Stone, the Oscar-nominated actor revealed the type of behaviour he finds unacceptable on set and the kind of people he would never agree to work with.
“That’s very important,” Neeson said of arriving on time. “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.”
While Neeson refrained from naming any individuals, his comments drew attention for their firm stance on professionalism.
At 73, the actor continues to headline major projects, including The Naked Gun reboot, now playing in theatres.
The new film sees Neeson depart from his recent action-heavy roles to play a clumsy police detective, alongside Pamela Anderson.
It opened to a solid $17 million at the domestic box office, signalling audience interest in Neeson’s comedic turn.
