'I'm not a racist': Liam Neeson defends himself in first TV interview since 'cosh' comments

"I did seek help. I went to a priest, who heard my confession"

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.

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.
