Liam Neeson doesn t do his own stunts

Los Angeles Jan 6 (IANS) Actor Liam Neeson says he loves shooting fighting sequences but prefers to leave stunts for the experts.

Neeson is known for action-packed movies. His next "The Commuter" is also on the same lines.

"I don t do my own stunts. I leave that to the experts but I love the fighting " Neeson said in a statement.

Stunt performer Mark Vanselow works with Neeson for the stunts. He has worked with the actor 16 times.

Talking about shooting for "The Commuter" Neeson said: "I d rehearse and rehearse with Mark and the stunt guys -- you have to otherwise you get hurt - after the shooting day ended and it was great fun. It demands a level of fitness so I was in the gym for 45 minutes every morning before going on set but that s part of the fun."

To this Vanselow said: "Having worked together so often before is a bit of a blessing and a curse. Every time we get together all we want to do is create something new... That s fun and challenging so that it s not the same piece of action all the time. We had some really interesting challenges from the director Jaume Collet-Serra as to how to make it interesting on a train."

"The Commuter" also starring Vera Farmiga Patrick Wilson and Sam Neill revolves around a man s quest to prevent disaster on a packed commuter train. PVR Pictures is releasing the film in India on January 19.
