Liam Neeson is hanging it up and retiring … at least when it comes to action movies.
The “Taken” star revealed his plans to stop filming action flicks in 2025 in a new interview with PEOPLE … explaining … “I’m 72 — it has to stop at some stage.”
Liam’s known for performing his own fight scenes — though he does use a stunt double for bigger moments — and he says it’s just not believable that he would be fighting bad guys in his 70s.
Liam puts it this way … “You can’t fool audiences.” He also says he doesn’t want his stunt double Mark Vanselow fighting his fight scenes for him.
Thing is … Liam didn’t even become an action hero until he starred in “Taken” way back in 2008 … when he was already 56 years old.
But, Father Time is undefeated … and it sounds like Liam’s content with how his action career turned out.
While Liam’s walking away from action movies, he’s going to be doing his thing in Hollywood … at least with other genres … and he just wrapped on the “Naked Gun” reboot.
