Liam Neeson Eyes Retirement From Action Movies at the End of 2025: ‘I’m 72 — It Has to Stop at Some Stage. You Can’t Fool Audiences’


Liam Neeson is 72 years old and knows his future as an action movie star is coming to an end.

The Oscar nominee spoke to People magazine and teased his retirement from the genre that reignited the back half of his acting career. He was front and center for two “Taken” sequels and also fought like hell in action films such as “Unknown” (2011), “The Grey” (2012), “Non-Stop” (2014), “Run All Night” (2015), “The Commuter” (2018), “The Ice Road” (2021) and more. Neeson’s latest action project, “Absolution,” arrives in November and reunites him with his “Cold Pursuit” director Hans Petter Moland.
