Stolen (2012)

Still Got It? He never lost it. Moath-foaming genius🧔, on demand.

Jet Li

The Action Hero: One of the most famous martial artists to crack Hollywood in the last couple of decades, Li may be slowing down a little now, with no new projects on the slate as yet. Although there's always Expendables 3

Current Age: 49

Most Recent Film:
The Expendables 2 (2012)

Still Got It? His brief appearance in The Expendables 2 was one o😼f the film's highlights. Indeed, it was a shame he wasn't f🙈eatured for longer…

Tom Cruise

The Action Hero: Given his bizarre public appearances and the increasingly outlandish stories about his private life, gunning down on-screen bag guys is actually when Cruise seems most normal…

Current Age: 50

Still Got It? Jack Reacher might not have been terribly well-received, but with Oblivion and All You Need Is Kill on the horizon, the action flicks are set to🌌 keep on coming.

Current Age: 50

Most Recent Film: Gallowwalkers (2012)

Still Got It? He's been out of the spotlight for a little while, although his name has been bandied about in relation to Expendables 3 . It could be just the tonic his career needs.

Laurence Fishburne

The Action Hero: The inscrutable Morpheus of the Matrix movies, who still turns out for the odd action movie, as demonstrated by his scenery-chewing turn in Predators .

Current Age: 51

Most Recent Film: Contagion (2011)

Still Got It? Predators was only a𒐪 few years back and he was tougher than ever in t🍬hat one.

Still Got It?
His most recent successe♕s have been voicing Dreamworks' Puss in Boots, who is every inch as muc♐h of a badass as El Mariachi!

Current Age: 53

Most Recent Film: Death Race: Inferno (2012)

Still Got It? His turn Piranha 3DD with a ❀pair of shotguns for legs should answer your question.

Sean Bean

The Action Hero: Bean is a very particular type of action star, in that he specialises in broadsword-swinging fantasy arse-kicking above all other types. Bloody good at it, he is too!

Current Age:
53

Most Recent Film: Silent Hill: Revelation 3D (2012)

Still Got It? Definitely. He'll be pla🍒ying a few more battle-hardened warriors before he starts winding it down...
