Liam Neeson: Action stars envy me

6th June 2012

(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Liam Neeson says other action stars are so jealous of his roles they've asked his agent for tips.

The Irish star is known for appearing in movies such as Taken, Battleship and The A-Team. Although Liam turns 60 tomorrow, he has no plans to slow down and enjoys being the envy of his peers.

"Hollywood is throwing action movies at me," he is quoted as saying by British newspaper The Sun.

"Believe it or not, I have even had Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis calling my agent saying, How do I get these scripts?' It's crazy."

Liam, Arnold and Bruce appear alongside each other in the eagerly-anticipated sequel The Expendables 2. The movie also stars Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham and Dolph Lundgren and Liam had a great time shooting his scenes.

"It's one of the most crazy sets I've been on!" he previously laughed.

Arnold and Sylvester are two of the biggest names in action movies and also both appear in new movie The Tomb. They enjoyed working together, despite initially feeling reluctant.

"I think in the beginning we were competitive - there's no question about it. A little alpha territorial," Sylvester laughed. (C) Cover Media
