Liam Neeson admits he was uneasy about meeting his Third Person co-star, Olivia Wilde, because of her beauty.

The film, by writer/director Paul Haggis, premiered at Toronto's Elgin Theater, and also stars Mila Kunis, Adrien Brody and James Franco.

Wilde plays Neeson’s mistress in the film, and he talked about being “nervous” to meet her, saying “She's such a competent actress in so many ways that sometimes her beauty gets in the way, do you know what I mean?"

“After Paul cast us she came up to visit me in my apartment in New Nork and I was so (expletive) nervous. I'm a heterosexual guy, there's something about a beautiful woman that makes me feel like a three-legged stool. She's talking about the character and I'm looking at her thinking, 'You are unbelievably beautiful,’” he continued, USA Today reports.

On Sept. 10, Kunis and Wilde showed their sexy sides at the Toronto Film Festival’s portrait session at the Guess Portrait Studio.

Just Jared notes they showed off their fashion and beauty at the film’s premiere the night before.
