But now that he's halfway through his sixties, Neeson says he's ready to stop fighting mobs of faceless assailants and focus on more serious roles, according to a Sky News report on the Toronto International Film Festival.
"They're still throwing serious money at me to do that stuff," Neeson said of potential action roles. "I'm like: 'Guys, I'm sixty-f---ing-five.' Audiences are eventually going to go: 'Come on.'"
The Irish actor, who earned an Oscar nomination for his role in the 1993 film "Schindler's List," said his late-career turn toward becoming an action star was "all a pure accident."
Two of Neeson's upcoming films, "Hard Powder" and "The Commuter," are both action thrillers, but it looks like they will be his last.
