LIAM NEESON was pictured looking thinner and grey haired in pictures from the set of his new film, Felt.
Liam Neeson then and now
He is only 63 but the handsome actor looked 20 years older in the new images.
The usually strapping star was almost unrecognisable, looking thinner after it appeared he shed the pounds for his latest movie
The actor’s shock weight loss seems to be for the role and is the second time in as many years that he has dramatically dropped weight for a film.
Pictures of the star looking weak and decrepid in 2015 sparked an outcry before he admitted that he had undergone the process for Martin Scorcese’s film Silence, about a persecuted Jesuit priest.
His figure in both of these roles is a far cry from his powerful image in explosive thrillers like Non-Stop and the Taken franchise.

Speaking about the weight loss he went through for Silence, Neeson said: “Martin requires this level of dedication and I think it pays off.
“He [Martin] wanted us all to look a bit more gaunt, which Adam and Andrew did as well.
“I know Adam went to the extreme.
“He’s an ex-marine and when he’s given an order, he follows it through.”
The latest images of Neeson were taken on the set of his new film about the Watergate scandal.
The Irish actor plays Mark Felt, the whistleblower who helped expose the greatest political conspiracy of the 1970s.
Felt was perhaps better known by his infamous code name, Deep Throat, and helped journalists Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein unearth evidence.
The ensuing investigations eventually brought down the US government and led to the resignation of President Richard Nixon in 1974.
Nixon is also making another colourful film outing later this year in the upcoming comedy drama Elvis & Nixon, about a famous meeting between the iconic public figures with Michael Shannon as Elvis and Kevin SApacey as the president.
Neeson’s new thriller is being shot in Atlanta and also stars Diane Lane, Tony Goldwyn, and Maika Monroe.
Felt will be out in cinemas in 2017 and is directed and written by Peter Landesman.
