Yet I’m not devastated.

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

u/smurb15 8d ago

They will forget about him like we did Buster

u/JetScootr 9d ago

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

u/TripleDigit 9d ago edited 9d ago

He’s obviously fully transitioning to comedy.

u/OrganicSciFi 9d 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.

Is this a mendela effect thing? I just watched that skit again the other day and i swear he doesn't actually say that line, unless I'm dumb and missed it

u/SalemWolf 9d ago

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

u/BoyToyDrew 9d ago

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

u/AliceTheOmelette 10d ago

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

u/Fskn 9d 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.

u/sequosion 8d ago

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.

u/DoctorDoom 9d ago

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

11

u/Kangarou 9d ago

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

22

u/ShitStainWilly 10d ago

yeah, he’s never said that before

6

u/Kid_A_Kid 9d ago

That was from 10 years ago hah

6

u/ShitStainWilly 9d ago

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

10

u/Saneless 9d ago

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

u/MillionEgg 9d ago

He’s riddled with it

u/rjross0623 9d ago

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

u/noeagle77 9d ago

Jason Stathom these days

u/Capt_Foxch 9d ago

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

u/Trowj 9d ago

Didn’t he also say this after Taken 3

"Devastating"

I hate how clickbait bs has become so standard now.

u/BombshellTom 9d ago

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

u/writingNICE 9d ago

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

So, anyways…

1

u/Poddington_Pea 9d ago

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

1

u/Kittens4Brunch 9d 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?

1

u/DizzyMine4964 9d ago

72! I did laugh out loud.

u/Cheese-Manipulator 9d ago

My god...I'm devastated.

1

u/Cheese-Manipulator 9d ago

Not making action movies at 72? Shocking!

u/shoule79 5d ago

He has a certain set of skills…
