Liu also said during the chat that her son, 9-year-old Rockwell, loved her new movie Red One and that "he was so proud of" his mom.
"I was stunned and it made me my heart, like, burst open," she admitted.
As for whether Rockwell has seen 2000's Charlie's Angels, which starred his mom, Barrymore and Cameron Diaz (who also all appeared in the 2003 sequel Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle), Liu said on the show, "No, it's a little too much."
"I think you've got a lot of boob going on, you've got some booty going on. I think it’s too much," she added. "I don't think it's the right time."
