Liam Neeson retiring from action films

Liam Neeson is retiring from action films after two more he’s committed to this year because he can no longer keep up with his young co-stars.

The Taken star turns 69 in 2021 and admits age is beginning to take its toll on him.

‘Taylor, what age are you?’ He said, ’25’. I said, ‘That’s the age of my eldest son!’

The Northern Irish movie star’s latest action film, The Marksman, is released later this month (January 2021).
