Liam Neeson has revealed that an intimacy coordinator for his upcoming film had to walk away due to the nature of his sex scenes with co-star Pamela Anderson.
The 73-year-old clearly has a very particular set of skills in the bedroom, and he's set to show them off in The Naked Gun, which will release in cinemas early next month.
It was only last year that the Taken actor talked about when he might potentially retire from acting, but he clearly couldn't turn down the opportunity to star in a re-imagined version of the comedy spoof classic.

And considering he's admitted to being 'madly in love' with Miss Anderson, which nearly every man of a certain age will probably understand, it's easy to see how their sex scenes on set got a little steamy.
Speaking to PEOPLE last October, Neeson admitted: 'I'm madly in love with her. No huge ego. She just comes in to do the work. She's funny and so easy to work with.
"She's going to be terrific in the film."

With the film now set to release on 1 August in the UK, it seems as if the Love Actually star has given up on his hopes of dating Claudia Schiffer after discovering his love for the Baywatch beauty.
He admitted that while the two did have an intimacy coordinator on set, something which is especially important these days, they left the room after things got a little too hot between Neeson and Anderson.
The actor explained: "I'd never had one before. But she was in the background. There was no kind of, 'OK! Excuse me!"
Neeson then added that the intimacy co-ordinator stormed out of the room, saying: 'I can't take this! This is too hot for me. I'm going for coffee'.

However, it seems as if their love will be limited to the screen for now, as Anderson quashed any rumours of a romance in the real world.
She said: "I think I have a friend forever in Liam. And we definitely have a connection that is very sincere, very loving, and he's a good guy."
Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, the two also spoke how they kept their relationship professional while filming.
"Our chemistry was clear from the start. We have the utmost respect for one another," Anderson said.

"I invited him and his assistant over for romantic dinners with me and my assistant so our relationship stayed 'professionally romantic' during filming."
"I'm hoping people love it. We had so much fun making it. I think it's timely for a beloved comedy like this. I'm a fan of the originals. As Liam says, 'We could all use a good giggle.' I pray we do more."
