Liam Neeson has revealed he may soon step back from action-packed roles, admitting the physical demands are becoming too much at age 72. Known for hits like Taken, The Commuter, and The A-Team, the veteran actor still performs many of his own fight scenes-but acknowledges he’s nearing the end.

“It must end at some point; I’m 72,” he said to People magazine. Though his longtime stunt double, Mark Vanselow, helps with the tougher scenes, Neeson said, “You can’t fool audiences. Mark should not be reenacting my battle scenes for me.

Neeson hinted he could retire from action films by the end of 2025 but hasn’t made a final decision: “Maybe the end of next year. That seems to be it.

Fans may watch him next in a reimagining of The Naked Gun, where he co-stars with Pamela Anderson as a clumsy police officer named Frank Drebin Jr. Of working with her, he said: “I’m madly in love with her. She is humorous.

A star of both action and drama, Neeson has had a remarkable career spanning over four decades. The untimely death of his wife, Natasha Richardson, in a skiing accident in 2009 rocked his personal life. Daniel, 28, and Micheál, 29, are the couple’s two sons.

Micheál, who changed his surname to Richardson in tribute to his late mother, has acted alongside his father in Cold Pursuit and Made in Italy. Neeson once remarked, “We didn’t have to pretend to be in a relationship.” “I was just talking to your boy like I always do.”
