Liam Neeson will no longer be portraying Abraham Lincoln in Steven Spielberg’s planned Abraham Lincoln biopic.

Talking to GMTV, Neeson revealed the reason he won’t be playing the 16th President of the United States of America is because he feels that he is now too old, despite being only two years older than Lincoln was at the time of his death.

Here’s what he said…

“I’m not actually playing Lincoln now. I was attached to it for a while, but it’s now I’m past my sell-by date,”

Oh come on Liam, nearly every character in every high school drama is played by an actor ten years older than the character they are playing but you’re telling me that you can’t play Abraham Lincoln because on paper you’re two years older at 58 yet in photos and on TV you look like you’re ten years younger.

Nope. Sorry Mr. Neeson but I’m not buying it.

There’s more to this story.
