Liam Neeson, 72, says his action-film days may soon be over — but it’s not the first time the ‘Taken’ star has teased his retirement from the genre.
With a decade-plus with action films as his calling card, Liam Neeson says he may be aging out of the genre — but he has said that before.
After breaking into the film industry nearly half a century ago, the Northern Ireland-born actor found his stride with “Taken,” a 2009 revenge drama about a former government agent who must rescue his kidnapped daughter. Since then, he has kept largely to action cinema, where he sensed his performances most resonated with viewers.
“It just seemed to have touched something in the psychic nerve of moviegoing audiences,” Neeson told People in an interview published Wednesday.
