Liam Neeson has made dozens of action films throughout his career, but the actor revealed that it may soon be time to retire from the genre.
The 68-year-old artist admitted that age had a lot to do with his decision.
“I am 68 and a half years old. 69 this year. There are a few more that I will do this year – I hope COVID allows us – there are a few in development and so I think it will probably be them. Well, unless I am on a board Zimmer or something, “Neeson told Entertainment Tonight.
What keeps him going is starring alongside young stars, admitted Neeson.
“I love to do it. I love hitting guys half my age, ”he said.

The star of “The Marksman” said during a recent shoot that he filmed in Australia that his co-star was as young as one of his children.
“I just finished one in Australia and had a fight scene with a boy – lovely and sweet actor named Taylor – and in the middle of the fight I looked up, I was out of breath and it didn’t cost him a penny, and I said, ‘ Taylor, how old are you? ‘ He said, ’25 ‘. “Neeson laughed,” I said,’ That’s my oldest son’s age! ‘”

In October, Neeson told Fox News that he would like his stunts to be recognized in big prizes.
“[Stunt people] are brilliant, “said Neeson.” The guy I work with, [stunt coordinator] Mark Vanselow, [we’ve] made 24 films together.
“He did some incredible stunts for me and other actors too … yes, they should, they should be recognized. They should. But people in the industry know,” he added.
