		</div><p>Liam Neeson had defended himself on US talk show Good Morning America this morning, 24 hours since after it was revealed he harboured violent thoughts about killing a black person after someone close to him was raped.</p>
<p>The actor said in an interview with Independent UK he had walked the streets armed with a ‘cosh’ hoping he would be approached by someone so that he could kill them.</p>
<p>“I went up and down areas with a cosh, hoping I’d be approached by somebody – I’m ashamed to say that – and I did it for maybe a week, hoping some black bastard would come out of a pub and have a go at me about something, you know? So that I could kill him”</p>
<p>In his live Good Morning America interview this morning, the 66-year-old said: &#8220;I&#8217;m not racist, this was nearly 40 years ago.&#8221;</p>
<p>Neeson said he understood the hurt his words have caused but insisted that he was trying to show honour for a friend I dearly loved in a ‘medieval fashion’.</p>
<p>He went on to say that he went to a church to seek help and a priest had heard his confession.</p>
<blockquote><p>I did seek help. I went to a priest, who heard my confession</p></blockquote>
<p>He also confided in two very good friends and took up power walking.</p>
<p>When asked by TV presenter Robin Roberts what he is hoping people will learn from the controversy, Neeson replied: &#8220;To talk, to open up, to talk about these things.</p>
