Neeson to Quit Action Movies Over Leg Pain

29th January 2012

Liam Neeson is planning to quit action movies next year (13) because an agonising knee condition makes it painful for him to perform his own stunts.

I love doing my own stuntsbut it's hard. I am turning 60 this year and it's getting harder... The knees are starting to play up

The Schindler's List star has enjoyed roles in a number of high-octane blockbusters in recent years, including The A-Team, Taken, Clash of the Titans and his latest film, The Gray.

The Oscar-nominated actor takes pride in his bravery and insists on refusing a body double for many onscreen stunts - but he admits age is catching up with him and he'll soon have to turn down meaty, all-action roles.

He tells U.K. talk show host Graham Norton, "I love doing my own stuntsbut it's hard. I am turning 60 this year and it's getting harder... The knees are starting to play up".
