Age no bar

Liam Neeson speaks of his China connection during a recent visit for his latest film, The Commuter. Xu Fan reports.

Hollywood star Liam Neeson's popularity isn't falling with age. It is the opposite.

After the English-language French action thriller Taken became a sleeper hit in 2008, he saw his fame grow at the age of 56. The movie, starring him as a former CIA operative who seeks to rescue his kidnapped daughter, reshaped his career, bringing Neeson a dozen similar roles in films such as Non-Stop and The Commuter.
