"Cold Pursuit" director Hans Petter Moland came out in support of actor Liam Neeson, who was slammed by people for passing racist comments.
During a press conference for his new drama "Out Stealing Horses", Moland defended Neeson saying he is not racist, reports variety. com.
He said: "He is a very honest, he is a very decent, grounded man. . . people commenting on the movie in derogatory ways…lumping it together with something that has nothing to do with it.
It's taking my voice away. "
Earlier, during the promotions of the upcoming film "Cold Pursuit" a few days ago, Neeson made a controversial statement.
He said: "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 (uses air quotes with fingers) 'black bastard' would come out of a pub and have a go at me about something, you know?
