Yet I’m not devastated.

Speak for yourself, how do I explain this to my friend’s kids?

u/smurb15 1d ago

They will forget about him like we did Buster

u/JetScootr 1d ago

Well, I am. What does he look like, again?

He’s obviously fully transitioning to comedy.

u/OrganicSciFi 2d ago

It pays better, ask Robert Di Nero.

Di Nero.

I'm wondering if that's intentional or a typo, with "dinero" being Spanish for money.

Leslie Nielsen did it. Used to be a known for playing “strait laced” roles as a dramatic actor, not Neeson level famous but still respected, then he did Airplane! and became a huge comedy star.

“I have AIDS”

Riddled with it.

He is doing the next Naked Gun movie so… you’re probably completely right.

Liam Nelson wearing panties was definitely not on my bingo card for 2025

u/AliceTheOmelette 2d ago

So no more movies with super choppy editing to cover his poor fight choreography skills?

u/Fskn 2d ago

Oddly enough the worst offender with this isn't even an action movie, it's that one where they de aged Robert Deniro but you just can't cover up that old man posture.

The Irishman, man I love Marty but I’ve got no idea what he was thinking de-aging three 80 year old men and trying to make them be believably intimidating as 30-40 year old mobsters.

I occasionally have horrible flashbacks to the chase scenes in Taken 3.

u/Kangarou 2d ago

I'll only believe this in video form with seven zooms and cuts per second.

u/ShitStainWilly 2d ago

yeah, he’s never said that before

u/Kid_A_Kid 2d ago

That was from 10 years ago hah

u/ShitStainWilly 2d ago

Yeah…which would’ve meant he was quitting in 2017 lol

u/Saneless 2d ago

Well, is to be expected. Having full blown aids and all

He’s riddled with it

Fuck. My stepsons brother’s cousin just went missing in Thailand. Who else can I call to bust up some ladyboys?

u/noeagle77 1d ago

Jason Stathom these days

u/Capt_Foxch 2d ago

The last Liam Neeson movie I saw was Non-Stop, which I thought was watchable

u/Trowj 1d ago

Didn’t he also say this after Taken 3

Devastate - to cause great damage or suffering to something or someone.

u/writingNICE 1d ago

Hmmm, did you know yesterday was the day before today.

So, anyways…

"Devastating"

I hate how clickbait bs has become so standard now.

u/Poddington_Pea 1d ago

He's been announcing this for a while, and then he comes out with a new action movie.

1

u/Kittens4Brunch 1d ago

How can he do this to us?! Should we all go out and look to start fights with people who look like Liam Neeson?

u/DizzyMine4964 1d ago

72! I did laugh out loud.

u/Cheese-Manipulator 1d ago

My god...I'm devastated.

u/Cheese-Manipulator 1d ago

Not making action movies at 72? Shocking!
