Liam Neeson Says He Has 'Unretired' from Action Movies

Good news for all you Liam Neeson fans! While at the red carpet premiere of the new film, Mark Felt: The Man Who Brought Down the White House, Neeson told Variety that he will return to the action genre.  When asked about the recent news that he was retiring from action movies, Neeson laughingly said:

“It’s not true, look at me! You’re talking in the past tense. I’m going to be doing action movies until they bury me in the ground. I’m unretired.”

It had been previously reported that the Taken star felt he was getting too old to lead such physically demanding films where he's fighting and caught in the middle of gun battles:

“The thrillers, that was all a pure accident. They’re still throwing serious money at me to do that stuff. I’m like, ‘Guys, I’m sixty-f---ing-five.’ Audiences are eventually going to go, ‘Come on.’”

In Neeson's latest role he is playing Mark Felt, the man more commonly known as “Deep Throat,” who blew the whistle on the Nixon administration during the infamous Watergate scandal.

I don't know about you all, but I am pretty excited to hear that Neeson isn't planning on going anywhere. He's just one of those actors that it's easy to believe they are a badass.
