"I was living in a house with two German people, three people from Texas, one person from Liverpool and me. It sounded like one of those jokes people say when an Irishman and an Englishman walk into a pub."
Laughing, he added: "And that's what came out. What can I say? It was funny wasn't it. Don't have many drinks and address the country."
Liam also weighed in on Will Smith 's Oscar slap, saying he thinks Will had a right to do what he felt was correct in the moment. He said: "I believe whatever he felt that he did, he had the right to do. I also felt there were three losers in one fight.
