Fans of Liam Neeson know him as a big strapping, action character with a darkly handsome edge. 

So no doubt they were surprised to see the Taken actor looking decidedly frail out and about in London last week.

The star recently finished work on Martin Scorsese’s ‘Silence’. 

Many reported that the 63-year-old was almost unrecognisable with fans expressing their concern for the star’s health on Twitter.

However, fans will be happy to know that the weight loss is more than likely down to his latest film role.

The star recently revealed he will give up action movies in two years time. 

Liam has just wrapped on Martin Scorsese’s Silence in which he played a tortured Jesuit missionary, so presumably he shed the pounds for the role.

A representative for Liam told the Irish Mirror that the actor has “never been healthier”.

Silence is set for release in 2016.
