In The Late Late Show interview, Neeson echoed Keillor’s version of the events that led to the allegations against him, which framed them as a well-intentioned misunderstanding.
Asked what he thought of the sweep of allegations in his industry, Neeson said: “It’s a bit of a witch-hunt.”
Dustin Hoffman has been accused of sexual assault by multiple women, of exposing himself to a minor and of sexual harassment.
Neeson was quick to distance himself from Hoffman’s alleged behaviour, saying: “I’m not saying I’ve done similar things to what he’s done.”
