At the age of 72, Neeson told People magazine, “It has to stop at some point.”
Although he still does his own battle scenes, the “Taken” star saves Mark Vanselow, his stunt double, for the most violent parts.

Following his role in the popular 2008 action film “Taken,” Neeson, then 56, transformed himself into an unlikely action hero.
Neeson drove trucks and operated a forklift for Guinness Brewery before beginning his acting career. Before winning his first movie part as Jesus Christ in the 1978 religious picture “Pilgrim’s Gospel,” he made his theater debut.
