Liam Neeson says he’s done making thrillers

HE MIGHT have a very particular set of skills — skills he has acquired over a very long career — but Liam Neeson just doesn’t want to use them anymore.

LIAM Neeson has a very particular set of skills — but he’s done using them.

The Irish actor has revealed that despite studios “still throwing serious money” at him to do more Taken-style films, he is planning to give up doing thrillers forever.

Neeson proved a major box office drawcard while starring in three Taken movies, where he played a former CIA operative who is forced to use his past training to track down various members of his family when they are snatched by human traffickers.

But, as the 65-year-old told Associated Press at the Toronto International Film Festival, he’s getting too old now.

“I’m like, ‘Guys, I’m sixty-f**king-five.’ Audiences are eventually going to go, ‘Come on.’”

He’s probably just tired of running around so much.

However, it’ll be a drawn-out finish to his action hero career. Neeson’s already shot two upcoming revenge thrillers: Hard Powder and The Commuter, both scheduled for release in 2018.

But after that he’s done.

“I’ve shot one that’s going to come out in January sometime. There might be another. That’s it,” he said.

Instead, he has turned back to dramatic work.

His Watergate drama Mark Felt: The Man Who Brought Down the White House premiered Monday evening at the Toronto International Film Festival.

In it, he plays the high-ranking FBI official who was the Washington Post’s “Deep Throat” source in the scandal.

He has also lined up to co-star in Widows, by Twelve Years a Slave director Steve McQueen. In December, he starred in Martin Scorsese’s spiritual epic Silence.
