I've noticed a lot of older celebs are now aging out of their traditional roles and taking on advertisement gigs.

I'm sure it's nice to get a paycheck. When you're old I guess Hollywood calls you less.

Imho he peaked during the late 1990-early 2000 (Gladiator, A Beautiful Mind). Then started to decline but still above average until 3:10 to Yuma. Definitely in 'don't give a fuck' phase when The Man with the Iron Fists came out. Shame really.

For some reason, Liam Neeson doesn't have to worry about this. Seems he's still going to be doing action movies when he's 90, lol.

I don't get him. He used to be such a great actor.
Taken was alright. I understood why he did that. But ever since then, all he does is the same.

I enjoy that movie too.

Doesn't really change the fact he still "gave a fuck" by the time he did Master and Commander

All three of the actors I names have won Oscars, and now that they're in their 50's/60's, they are doing complete garbage movies (why did Neeson decide he was an action movie hero?)

a) and b) He got fat and slow, athletically.
That's a big one. People forget that male actors rely a lot on their physicality, probably even more than women. 18 hours on set, all day, all week. It's a young man's game. The older you get, the less likely a movie director is willing to pay $20 million for a 60+ year old actor who needs his beauty rest.

This is the reason why Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt still get huge movie roles at the age of 61, but Denzel Washington and Liam Neeson are stuck in mid-level and B-level movies. There are exceptions of course.

Sam L Jackson, Morgan Freeman's success is based more on their voice and charisma than their physicality.

c) Russell Crowe developed a bad reputation as a hot-head during the mid to late 2000s. So he did not develop good personal relationships with many studio heads and big-time directors. DiCaprio has Scorcese. Sam L Jackson has Tarantino. Michael Caine has Nolan. When you've got your own personal relationships with the top directors in the industry, you'll never have to do shit movies for the bills.

d) If you don't build personal relationships with the top directors and producers in Hollywood, then build your own production company. Russell Crowe was TOO SLOW in making his own production company. Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, Adam Sandler -- these are examples of actors who have the luxury of doing the movies that they want, because they took a risk and built their own production companies. Russell Crowe did NOT take advantage of his fame and success until it was way too late. It was only until 2021 that he started his own production company.
