70 years old and still on fire. Huge respect for this man.

He doesn’t look 70 at all ❤❤😊😊which is amazing

That last punch looked so real and awesomely beautiful. Jimmy Fallon knows how to make an actor look good. He's done these fake punches with other actors. Liam Neeson, by far, is one of the best stage actors to date. He did an excellent punch with Jimmy Fallon.

[@Paralyzer]

Larry Roeth I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my daughter go now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will *** you

[@mercatorjubio3804]

I think he did one with Stallone, or was that Graham Norton?

[@paulmoneill]

Yeah it was Graham with De Niro watching on

[@mercatorjubio3804]

@@paulmoneill Oh yeah, now I remember! It was back then for Grudge Match. But I could swear there was something similar with Fallon as well, not too long ago.

An actor who will go down in history as one of the greatest. How is he still so fine at 70? Jimmy is right when he calls him a stud. Talented, caring, smart. He’s got it all.

[@Krystosmission]

The best actor of all times! a gentle soul but also a badass

[@bradnitram8406]

LIAM'S voice is unforgettable

[@iBridgee]

Liam Neeson is such a great sport for teaching Jimmy how to throw a punch. It's hilarious to watch them both having fun with it!

[@majdapetrovic8749]

Isnt he a priest???

[@Denis-89]

I love that his Irish accent still comes through on some occasions. Makes his voice and stories even better!

[@stevieokie1]

His accent is constantly there is it not?

[@LeslieJayBoschPhoto]

That's what happens to Irish people. Weird huh?

[@tabaxikhajit4541]

@@LeslieJayBoschPhoto It's why they can't help but be charming. edit: not a flirtation. My roots are Irish, and I'm proud of it. :D

[@xterratazex3153]

He's Northern Irish

[@megsblue]

Liam is so charming, handsome, interesting, classy. Ugh I listen to him talk with his real accent for hours. 😍

[@talk1conversation]

Simply one of the greatest actors of our time.

[@Krystosmission]

Yea he is!

[@tracidavis3565]

One of my all time favorite actors with a very particular set of skills. What a class act he is. Funny he signed an autograph for that couple as Ralph Fiennes

[@Mcfine2011]

I love Liam Neeson!!! One of my favorite all time actors !!

[@youcantbeattheclassics]

“Listen, Jimmy, this is the last time!” We could all feel the fear in Jimmy at that moment

[@covertwinker]

Seems like such a gentle soul! So funny that he ended up an action star.

[@RobbinRams]

Love it how he still remembers enschede from the Netherlands

[@annikawettle978]

The way he tells stories is so cosy :)

The Love he has for his wife , is True Love ! He Loves her to this day and misses her every day. He's never been the same since her death. But i hope he keeps her with him until they see each other again.

[@vtnascar14]

His voice is so calming to listen to.

[@Ramosky23]

Amazing actor amazing voice always, love him too much

[@Kingethan1OO]

One of my favourite movies of his which I think is not talked about enough is The Grey, love the post credit scene as well.

[@GoingMedievalOnYourAss]

The Grey is awesome. "Once more into The Fray..."

[@talondiwisch5206]

That movie annoyed me because a couple could have escaped their deaths.

[@allanjbara2382]

His voice is amazing 😍😍😍 i wish i have a voice like that

[@ginajust-me2445]

" I'm gettin to old for this" EPIC....lol

[@MarcShake]

I mean, it's the same dude who played Oscar Schindler. I love his actionflicks but he's also a great character actor.

[@cindy-yc8tz]

I love it, still remembers to pick up his hat. Can't wait to watch this movie. Such a romantic era

[@Kanoog]

i want to change my Alexa to Liam Neeson's voice.

Fantastic! Great job, guys! That looked so real!

[@drumbum3.142]

Never (have) been able to decide if his Wonderfully Distinctive Voice is a Purrrr... ..or a Growl In All Likelihood depends upon his mood, disposition, and what he's conversing about

[@trianivalentina2332]

Now that he mentioned it, he looks like Ralph Fiennes

[@bartafterdark900]

This guy has absolutely no right to be this attractive at the age of 70
