Wow! For some reason I thought he was much younger.

reply

Me too! He looks good for being 69.

reply

He is 70, not 69. The source for celebrity birthdays, as well as Wikipedia, sometimes posts the age wrong.

reply

Still, he looks great for his age.

OP corrected, he turned 70 on June 7, born 1952.

"During his early years, Liam worked as a forklift operator for Guinness, a truck driver, an assistant architect and an amateur boxer. He had originally sought a career as a teacher by attending St. Mary's Teaching College, Newcastle. However, in 1976, Neeson joined the Belfast Lyric Players' Theater and made his professional acting debut in the play "The Risen People". After two years, Neeson moved to Dublin's Abbey Theater where he performed the classics. It was here that he was spotted by director John Boorman and was cast in the film Excalibur (1981) as Sir Gawain, his first high-profile film role."
