Liam Neeson, 72, opens up on retirement from action movies

Part 2 of 2

“Whether I can carry it or not, I honestly don’t know,” he remarked about his “silly” role as the bumbling officer Frank Drebin Jr. in the movie.

However, his co-star Pamela Anderson had a different opinion.

“He’s being humble,” she shared with People. “It was hard to keep a straight face in scenes together.”

Neeson mentioned at the beginning of 2021 that he was considering stepping away from action films.

“I’m 68 and a half. Sixty-nine this year. There’s a couple more I’m going to do this year,” he stated in an interview with Entertainment Tonight at the time.

“There’s a couple in the pipeline and then I think that will probably be it,” Neeson continued. “Well, unless I’m on a Zimmer frame or something.”

The previous year, Neeson shared with ET that he had moved on from superhero films after portraying Ra’s al Ghul in Christopher Nolan’s first “Batman” movie.

“I’m really not a huge fan of the genre. I think it’s Hollywood with all the bells and whistles and the technical achievements and stuff — which I admire — but I have no desire to go into the gym for three hours every day to pump myself up to squeeze into a Velcro suit with a cape,” he stated.

Neeson also mentioned that although he “enjoyed” working on “Star Wars: Episode I,” he has no plans to return to that franchise either.
