Liam Neeson doesn`t see himself as an action star
Although the 58-year-old actor has taken on extremely physical roles in movies `The A Team`, `Taken` and `Unknown` in recent years he doesn`t think of himself as one type of actor even though he does love "flexing his muscles".
Liam said: "I don`t see myself as an action star, although hopefully we`ll do a `Taken 2` in my 60th year. It`s nice, I like being physical and getting to flex those muscles. I feel like a kid in a toys shop, it`s great."
Although the Irish-born actor plays a scientist in new movie `Unknown` he admitted it does have similarities to `Taken` where he played a special forces operative whose daughter is taken hostage.
He explained to Omelete.com: "It`s a different character, it`s a different scenario but the similarity in this film is the authorities have taken my identity and I have to find it again. I have to seek out who I am. In `Taken` they stole my daughter but here I know who I am the authorities are saying I`m not who I am."
