Liam Neeson: No Gym Needed for Action Stardom
31 Oct
Summary
- Liam Neeson, 74, doesn't use a gym for his action movie physique.
- Daily walks are Neeson's primary fitness strategy as he ages.
- Neeson is 74 and lucky to still get action roles, he says.
Liam Neeson, at 74, shared that his rigorous action-movie shape doesn't stem from daily gym sessions. He maintains a level of fitness that allows him to perform his own fight scenes, as seen in his latest release, 'The Mongoose.'
Neeson credits simple, daily walks as the most significant change in his fitness routine over the years. He feels fortunate to continue receiving offers for physically demanding roles.
Director Mark Vanselow, who has worked with Neeson on 30 projects and was his stunt double for nearly three decades, praised Neeson's dedication. Vanselow noted Neeson's willingness to do what's necessary and adapt to create fresh action sequences.
'The Mongoose' premiered in theaters on October 30. Vanselow and Neeson's collaboration marks their 30th project together, with Vanselow directing for the first time in their long working relationship.
