Liam Neeson’s beloved run as an action movie star may be coming to an end next year. The Oscar nominee spoke to People magazine and teased his retirement from the genre that reignited the back half of his acting career.

Since becoming an unlikely action icon in his mid-50s, Neeson has always performed his own fight scenes — though he also calls upon his longtime collaborator Mark Vanselow when it comes to more elaborate stunts. While age has yet to hold him back during a production, the actor isn’t interested in waiting long enough for it to become a factor.

Liam Neeson, 72, says his action-film days may soon be over — but it's not the first time the 'Taken' star has teased his retirement from the genre.
