Most netizens did not buy it when Liam Neeson proclaimed earlier this month that he would no longer star in action films.
Just weeks after his bold statement, the 65-year-old “Taken” star has apparently had a change of heart, admitting that he was “unretiring” from such roles.
“It’s not true, look at me! You’re talking in the past tense,” he told Variety. “I’m going to be doing action movies until they bury me in the ground. I’m unretired.”

At a time when most peers would be settling down in “calmer” roles, Neeson has taken the unconventional route, first appearing in classic period dramas like “Schindler’s List” before accepting action gigs as he advanced in years.
Aside from the ever popular “Taken” franchise, he also leaped through exploding cars and dodged bullets in “Run All Night” and “Non Stop,” among other action thrillers.
Neeson is once again back to his old tricks, starring in the upcoming spy-thriller “Mark Felt: The Man Who Brought Down the White House,” which is based on the infamous “Watergate scandal” in 1970.
