If you're wondering how much time it'll take for you to come to terms with reality, we feel you. Liam Nesson retiring from action films is as good(or bad) as Leonardo Di Caprio saying he'll only do sex comedies. The world is wondering, which is quite justified so, as to what exactly will Liam Nesson do with his 'very particular set of skills'?
Unfortunately so, Liam Neeson has confirmed the news and this isn't a rumor. "They're still throwing serious money at me to do that stuff," Sky News reported him as saying at the Toronto International Film Festival. "I'm like: 'Guy's I'm sixty-f******-five.' Audiences are eventually going to go: 'Come on.'"
Neeson gained popularity from the Taken franchise where he played the role of a retired spy who often ends up seeking revenge. CNN further added that the role spurred into a multi-million dollar trilogy and turned the Irish actor into a popular meme who is so loved around the world that he recently even had a sandwich named after him at a Canadian eatery.
Though this news hasn't really come as shock altogether because in 2015 when The Guardian had asked him about his retirement plans, he admitted that he had only two more years to pursue action films. His latest thriller, Hard Powder, hasn't been released yet. Neeson was attending the Toronto festival to premiere another new film, Mark Felt: The Man Who Brought Down the White House.
