Lucy Liu hasn't shown her son Charlie's Angels because it's 'too much': 'A lot of boob going on'

The actress made the confession while visiting her costar Drew Barrymore's talk show on Monday.

Lucy Liu isn’t quite ready for her son Rockwell to watch the Charlie’s Angels films just yet.

While visiting her costar Drew Barrymore’s talk show on Monday, the actress revealed that she hasn't shown her 9-year-old son either of the two Charlie’s Angels films and doesn't plan on doing so anytime soon.

“No, no. It’s a little too much…” Liu began, before Barrymore playfully interjected, "Boob?”

Exactly. “I think you’ve got a lot of boob going on, you’ve got some booty going on,” she told Barrymore. “I think it’s too much.” 

In her defense, Barrymore explained that Liu also sported some seriously tight-fitting clothing in the original 2000 film and its 2003 sequel, Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle. “You have some booty going on!” she declared. “Yes, at the Pussycat Dolls dance. Oh, come on!”

The aforementioned scene, which is featured in the second film, sees Barrymore, Liu, and Cameron Diaz perform a sensual dance routine to the tune of the Pink Panther theme song with a little help from the Pussycat Dolls.

"No, he hasn’t seen it and I don’t think it’s the right time," Liu reiterated. "It’s too much."

Barrymore also fully acknowledged that it might not necessarily be the kind of film a mother would want to watch with her young son, honestly. “Well, also, with boy-girl, boy-mom [relationships], yeah, that’s different,” she pointed out, leading Liu to reply, “Oh my God.”

While she might not be ready for Rockwell to see Charlie’s Angels, Liu still has a few souvenirs from her time filming the franchise. While visiting The Drew Barrymore Show last year, the Red One star revealed that she still has nude photos of Barrymore that they took while hanging out in her dressing room together. 

"I have them. I do! Of course. And you look gorgeous, as you still do, and you're so natural and so playful and having a great time," Liu said at the time. Turning to the crowd, she clarified, "I have a series of portraits of so many people with and without clothes on, guys!"

The Drew Barrymore Show airs weekdays on CBS.
