Liam revealed, "I had asked Good Morning Britain, the presenter, I said, 'Please don’t ask me too much because I’ve had a lot to drink and I’m under-ly educated about the Oscars.'"
"The very first question the man asked me was, 'What do you think about Will Smith?'"

"Now can you imagine... imagine being put on the spot in that moment and knowing, 'I can’t say anything wrong because I’m gonna upset someone,' and I just did the best I could."
Liam said he stands by his response, but he's, "sorry it came out in so many accents!"
