Liam Neeson Thinks Society Is Far Too Sexy for Its Own Good

In an interview with what probably isn’t a firebrand, left-wing publication, The Catholic Herald, Liam Neeson, of the strong, stonecutter-handed thespian Neesons, said that he, the star of Kinsey, has been struggling to cope with the “sexualized nature” of society. It’s just getting too damn sexy up in society, you know?

I’d hate to be a kid now, because we’re all inundated with so much information about sexuality coming at us from everywhere – the media, the advertising billboards, just everywhere – and it must be so confusing for them…
There’s a problem that, if you become over-familiar with something, it moves from the sacred to almost the profane. The act is very, very special, you know. It’s full of mystery and wonder, and I’d hate us all to get to the stage where we just treat it lightly, because it deserves more than that … but times have changed since I was young, no doubt about it.

Times certainly have changed, Mr. Neeson. It seems like only yesterday that you were Jean Valjean and Hugh Jackman was just some hairy-torsoed Australian actor with a nice singing voice. [Telegraph]
