Seeing Liam Neeson looking frail and older may come a bit of a shock to his fans, who have known him for his action-packed roles. On Monday, the "Taken" star stepped out in New York as he headed for lunch at the Atlantic Grill restaurant. He was photographed looking skinny wearing casual clothes, leading to speculations that there's something wrong with his health.
In August, he sparked worries among his followers when he was spotted appearing gaunt. His rep released a statement assuring that Neeson "couldn't be healthier."
Last month, reports have it that he canceled his work commitments, but his rep claimed that there's no truth to the rumors that he's unwell. His spokesperson revealed that he just worked on one movie and is about to start a new one in September, Daily Mail reports.
Neeson's fans are reportedly worried for the actor, who lost his wife in a skiing accident in 2009. His continuous sightings looking frail and older than he really is led to many speculations that he's keeping things under wraps. Mirror speculates that there could be a possibility that his new fragile look may be for a movie role.
The latest news comes after Neeson claimed that he will be retiring from action roles in two years. In March, he said in an interview that he's planning to give up on action films in two years or more, unless his health is good.
"Maybe two more years. If God spares me and I'm healthy," he said. "But after that, I'll stop [the action] I think."
The 62-year-old actor, who started in drama films including "Schindler's List" and "Michael Collins," rose to fame in his groundbreaking role as Bryan Mills in "Taken." He is also well-known for other action hit movies "Non-Stop," "Battleship," and "A Walk Among the Tombstones."
Neeson's rep hasn't commented yet on the latest rumors involving the Oscar-nominated actor. Do you think there's something wrong with his Neeson's health and he is just hiding it from the public?
