There have been many emotional moments for Liam, which called for Clifton to put on the waterworks. In an interview with Angela Bishop on The Bold and the Beautiful‘s YouTube channel, Clifton revealed his secret for crying on cue.
“If I have an emotional scene, I start yawning. I make myself yawn and I keep yawning, keep yawning. And there’s something about that that tricks my body…it simulates vulnerability for me. So my body starts to get emotional before my brain, and then my brain realizes what’s happening and sort of catches on. They sort of synergize. It’s just a trick. It’s a little trick that I use.”
What’s happening with Liam Spencer on ‘The Bold and the Beautiful’?
Clifton’s character Liam continues to be at the forefront of The Bold and the Beautiful. Liam and Hope’s marriage is again in trouble because of Thomas Forrester (Matthew Atkinson). Thomas has been causing drama for the couple for the past four years.
While Liam would love nothing more than to be rid of Thomas, he’s again inserted himself into Hope’s life. Hope decided to rehire Thomas to help with her fashion line, against Liam’s wishes. Given Thomas’ obsession with Hope and his past manipulations, Liam has a right to be worried. However, Thomas has won everyone over with his promise of change and apologies.
As Hope grows closer to Thomas, it creates distance between her and Liam. The Spencer heir won’t like Hope and Thomas’ bond, and put his foot down. Yet, Hope will continue to disobey her husband’s demand. With Hope not listening to reason, Liam will walk out, and could find himself in another woman’s bed.
