Liam Neeson’s son and former sister-in-law have shared their support for his budding romance with Pamela Anderson.
The Taken star, 73, and Baywatch icon, 58, met as co-stars on the set of their new action comedy, The Naked Gun, and their chemistry blossomed off-screen.
Anderson shared a series of snaps of the duo posing playfully in a photoshoot on Instagram and encouraged fans to take their “friends, family, lovers” to see Naked Gun.
The sweet photos prompted Liam’s son Daniel Jack Neeson, 29, to comment with a string of emojis, including two hands raised in celebration, two fires, two white hearts, and a water pistol.
Joely Richardson - the sister of Neeson’s late wife Natasha Richardson who died aged 45 in a 2009 skiing accident - also appeared to celebrate the couple.
The British actress, 60, commented with seven red heart emojis.
Neeson and Richardson had two children during their 15-year marriage - Micheál and Daniel.
Anderson’s two sons from her turbulent first marriage to Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee also seemed to approve of her new relationship.
Brandon Thomas Lee commented: “So proud of you and all of the hard work that went into this film!
“Everyone involved should be so proud!”
Dylan Jagger Lee added: “YESSS!! You guys absolutely nailed this. So proud!!!
“And yes… I’m going for the third time tonight.”
Anderson and Neeson are “smitten” with each other and “enjoying each other's company” a source told People magazine last week.
The pair have reportedly been dating “for a while” according to a Daily Mail insider, with “sparks” first appearing when they started filming in May 2024.
An insider said: “She has been telling friends he is smitten and does a lot of sweet things for her, like sending her flowers, and spending time with her sons and dogs.”
Dating rumours began to circulate when Neeson gushed about working with Anderson in his People cover story in November 2024, even going so far as to say he was "madly in love with her".
He told the magazine: “With Pamela, first off, I’m madly in love with her. She’s just terrific to work with. I can’t compliment her enough, I’ll be honest with you. No huge ego. She just comes in to do the work. She’s funny and so easy to work with.”
Meanwhile, Anderson referred to him as “the perfect gentleman” and told the magazine: “He brings out the best in you…with respect, kindness, and depth of experience. It was an absolute honor to work with him.”
The Naked Gun is the fourth big-screen instalment of the crime-spoof comedy franchise, which started with the ABC series Police Squad! in 1982.
