Liam Neeson is uncertain about how much longer he’ll continue as an action movie star.
The 72-year-old “Taken” actor discussed his eventual retirement from physically-demanding roles in an interview with People magazine on Wednesday.
“I’m 72 — it has to stop at some stage,” Neeson commented. “You can’t fool audiences.”
He mentioned his retirement plan, saying, “Maybe the end of next year,” and added, “I think that’s it.”
At this stage in his career, Neeson continues to handle his own fight scenes, though he relies on his longtime collaborator, Mark Vanselow, for the more intense stunt work.
“I don’t want Mark to be fighting my fight scenes for me,” he clarified.
Neeson has gained fame for his numerous lead roles in action films, including the “Taken” series, “The A-Team,” “The Grey,” “Wrath of the Titans,” “Run All Night,” “The Commuter,” “Cold Pursuit,” and most recently, “Absolution.”
Beginning his career in the late 1970s, Neeson has also starred in war dramas like “Michael Collins” and “Schindler’s List,” major blockbusters such as “Star Wars: Episode I — The Phantom Menace” and “Batman Begins,” as well as romantic comedies including “Love Actually” and “Ordinary Love.”
Liam Neeson is also testing his comedic abilities in the upcoming remake of The Naked Gun, which is scheduled to hit theaters in 2025.
