Liam Neeson plans to stop making action movies in 2 years

Liam Neeson's reign as "The Toughest Middle-Aged Man Ever" may soon be over. The 62-year-old actor told The Guardian that he has "maybe two more years" starring in action films.

"Maybe two more years. If God spares me and I'm healthy," Neeson told The Guardian, when asked about his action film career. "But after that, I'll stop [the action], I think."

Neeson went on to say that he's enjoyed the success of films like the Taken series, but "there is a limit" to his career in action roles. Luckily, you'll still be able to rewatch plenty of Neeson's action films — which, as you'll see in The Week's video below, have more in common than you might think. —Meghan DeMaria
