Liam Neeson: 'Gaunt' Look Is For Scorsese's 'Silence' (PHOTO)

Liam Neeson drew major concern about his health when he was spotted looking frail and gaunt in New York City in July, as HNGN previously reported. However, the 63-year-old actor has revealed that the dramatic weight loss and the "gaunt" appearance is for Martin Scorsese's new film "Silence."

"Martin wanted us all to look a bit more gaunt, which [Adam Driver and Andrew Garfield] did as well," said the "Taken" actor, about dropping 20 pounds during a media briefing for the film, according to Collider.

"I know Adam went to the extreme. He's an ex marine and when he's given an order, he follows it through. He was like something out of Auschwitz. Martin requires this level of [dedication] and I think it pays off," Neeson added.
