Liam Neeson Says He’s<br />Done Starring in Action Movies.<br />Oscar nominee Liam Neeson thinks he’s getting<br />too old for his signature vigilante roles.<br />In an interview with ‘Entertainment Tonight,’<br />Neeson revealed that he plans on retiring<br />from action movies after this year.<br />Oh, yeah. I think so. I'm 68 and a half.<br />69 this [June] … There's a couple more I'm<br />going to do this year - hopefully, COVID<br />allowing us - there's a couple in the pipeline<br />and, then I think that will probably be it, Liam Neeson, to 'Entertainment Tonight'.<br />He jokingly followed up by saying that<br />although he loves “beating up guys half [his] age,”<br />he’s going to need a walker if he continues. .<br />Neeson’s revelation about his age<br />apparently occurred while he was on the<br />set of his next movie, ‘Blacklight.’ .<br />While filming a fight scene for the<br />flick, Neeson realized how exhausted he<br />was compared to his younger co-star. .<br />I had a fight scene with a kid -- lovely, sweet<br />actor called Taylor -- and halfway through<br />the fight I looked up, I was breathless<br />and it didn't cost him a cent, and I said,<br />'Taylor, what age are you?' He said, '25.', Liam Neeson, to 'Entertainment Tonight'.<br />In 2020, Neeson also confessed to<br />‘Entertainment Tonight’ that he didn’t<br />want to return to the superhero genre. .<br />Although he “admire[s]” superhero films,<br />Neeson ultimately found it “exhausting.” .<br />I have no desire to go into the gym for<br />three hours every day to pump myself up<br />to squeeze into a Velcro suit with a cape, Liam Neeson, to 'Entertainment Tonight'
