Actor Liam Neeson, 69 years old, said he will stop accepting action projects because of his age.
On Entertainment Tonight on January 14 , Neeson said he was thinking about retiring after filming a movie in Australia recently.
He said: “I had a fight scene with a young actor named Taylor. In the middle of the fight, I was so tired that I couldn’t breathe while he was unharmed. He was 25 years old, the same age as my oldest son. I have a few unfinished projects and hope there are no problems due to Covid-19. I think I will stop after that.”

In October 2020, the actor told Fox News that he hoped Hollywood would have more major awards honoring stunt actors. He said it would be impossible to carry out action projects without the help of stuntman Mark Vanselow. The two have collaborated on 24 films. Recently, Vanselow also participated in Neeson’s movie The Marksman , scheduled to hit theaters on January 15 in the US.
