Liam Neeson has enjoyed a dream career in Hollywood, securing iconic roles in popular films that have boosted his status above many others. In a cover story interview with People Magazine, Neeson openly discussed the characters he has played, and his retirement plans, and shared insights about the upcoming Naked Gun reboot.

In an interview with the media outlet, Liam Neeson reflected on how he connected with audiences and rapidly built a strong fan base as an action star. The Hollywood actor revealed, “It just seemed to have touched something in the psychic nerve of moviegoing audiences.”

Besides his roles as a romantic hero and action star, Liam Neeson has starred in several films set in legal and courtroom settings. The *Schindler’s List* actor recently served jury duty at a Northern Ireland court. He revealed that he wasn’t chosen for the trial, so he spent his time reading a Patricia Cornwell novel on his Kindle while waiting for the clerk to dismiss him.

Describing his experience, the actor recounted, “The clerk is calling, I don’t know, 55 or 60 of us. He gets to me, but all I hear is, ‘I have a particular set of skills. Skills that would make me…’ And I thought, ‘Oh f— no.’”

Neeson revealed that he may soon retire from performing action scenes, shedding light on his plans for stepping back from such roles. During the conversation with the media outlet, the action hero revealed, “I’m 72—it has to stop at some stage. You can’t fool audiences. I don’t want Mark to be fighting my fight scenes for me.” Neeson may step away from action roles as early as 2025, though he has yet to confirm his retirement plans officially.

Before retiring from acting, “The Grey” star will appear in the upcoming reboot of “The Naked Gun”, which has already wrapped filming. Neeson stars alongside Pamela Anderson, and he shared his admiration for his co-star, saying, “I’m madly in love with her. I can’t compliment her enough. She’s funny.”

Neeson will also feature in “Absolution”, set to hit theaters on November 1.
