Leonard Whiting – 71, London
It’s a lovely story: in 1968, the hot Leonard Whiting and the lovely Olivia Hussey played Romeo and Juliet in Franco Zeffirelli’s film adaption of the same name. Many decades later, in 2015, the two reunited to play a married couple in the drama Social Suicide. It happened to be Whiting’s final acting role. Whiting, who has been retired since his surprise 2015 return, won a Golden Globe Award for New Star of the Year for his Romeo and Juliet performance. Later in his career, he participated in a few of hot Italian films and was cast in the animated series The Dreamstone.

Liam Neeson – 69, Ballymena
Liam Neeson is perhaps Northern Ireland’s most famous actor and one of Hollywood’s highest-rated action actors right now (despite his 69th birthday). While many expected Neeson’s career to peak with the brilliant Schindler’s List, he stunned everyone by helping to transform the Taken film series into a worldwide box-office hit. While the concept of Taken may sound familiar (a retired CIA agent attempting to save his daughter), Neeson’s unique take on the role was virtually universally applauded. Neeson has appeared in two more action films in 2021: The Marksman and The Ice Road.
