Liam Neeson is the only Irish star to feature in the Forbes list of highest paid actors in 2015.
The Northern Irish man, who has most recently appeared in the likes of Entourage and Ted 2, has found himself in 22nd place on the coveted list.
Liam earned a staggering $19.5 (€18m) last year, due to the success of a number of his movies including Run All Night and the third instalment of the Taken franchise.
Over the past year, Liam has earned the exact same amount of money as Hollywood star, Ben Affleck, placing them both on an equal spot in the list.
Topping the Forbes rich list is Robert Downey Jr, who took home a whopping $80m, as a result of his roles in The Avengers and Iron Man.
Liam can hold his head high, as Irish actors rarely find themselves on such lists, never mind ranking so close to the top.
Meanwhile, the Irish actor has been spotted out and about looking a little worse for wear, leading fans to worry about his health and well-being.
Despite looking clearly gaunt, his representatives have told the Mail online that ‘he has never been healthier,’ so it’s thought the new look is for an upcoming movie role.
