Neeson, 66, sparked outrage after he revealed in an interview with The Independent that he walked around for a week trying to find 'a black bastard' to kill after learning of his friend's rape

'When you hear him say this, I think there will be genuine, fully justified outrage over what he's said.' Neeson has outraged with his 'racist' comments (Picture: WireImage) Piers, 53, then went on to compare Neeson's situation to that of Mel Gibson who was shunned from Hollywood in 2004 after he was accused of making anti-semitic comments
The TV presenter said: 'The only parallel I can think of is Mel Gibson who said some horrendous things to his Russian girlfriend or wife at the time
He was very racist when he said it. 'The only difference here with Liam Neeson is he's talking about himself and his own thought process, which was for an entire week not a moment of madness but a seven-day rampage around the streets waiting to for any black person to say the wrong thing so he could kill him
Piers predicts Neeson's career will be over (Picture: ITV) 'I can't think of anything more staggering that's come out of a movie star's mouth
I would be very surprised if Liam Neeson's career is not now in very serious trouble.' He added: 'If I was a black person, I would not want to see this guy's movies
So racist.' Piers later said: 'It's like Ku Klux Klan stuff.' Advertisement Advertisement During this morning's GMB, Clemence Michallon, who conducted the interview with Neeson, revealed what it was like to hear those comments in the moment
Michallon said: 'In the moment, it all went very fast. You do not go into a movie press junket expecting to hear that story
What I felt immediately was a strong sense of responsibility and duty to tell the story sensitively.'

Michallon said: 'He decided to tell this story that had been apparently weighing on him for a very long time.' Addressing her reporting, the interviewer said: 'It wasn't a question of lightening what he said in any way.' When asked whether his career should recover, Michallon added: 'People have reacted with obviously a lot of shock and outrage and we're not surprised by this, the shock is justified
