Joely Richardson, sister of the late Natasha Richardson, has given a subtle seal of approval to Liam Neeson's rumoured romance with Pamela Anderson. The actress commented on an Instagram post by Anderson, which showed the pair sharing a box of popcorn to promote their new film, The Naked Gun. Richardson simply added seven red heart emojis, a gesture fans described as 'classy and loving'.
Liam Neeson was married to Natasha Richardson for 15 years until her death in 2009 following a skiing accident. The couple had two sons, Micheál, 30, and Daniel, 28. For years, Neeson remained single, telling People in October that he was 'past all that' regarding dating. However, rumours have now surfaced of a relationship with his co-star Anderson.
A source told Page Six in July that the actors have a 'budding romance in the early stages' and that 'it's clear they're smitten with each other'. The pair attended the London premiere of The Naked Gun on July 22, where Anderson kissed Neeson's cheek on the red carpet. Another source insisted the romance is sincere, saying, 'They’re not going to show up on the red carpet and be adorable just to be fake'.
During a recent appearance on Stephen Colbert's late-night show, Neeson gushed about Anderson, calling her 'great in the movie' and noting that she baked him sourdough loaves during the shoot. On the Today show, he joked about their chemistry, saying they discovered 'a lovely, budding chemistry as two actors' and decided to 'let it breathe'.
Anderson has been married six times, including twice to Rick Soloman, and has two sons from her marriage to Tommy Lee. Fans have responded warmly to the new couple, with many echoing Joely Richardson's apparent approval.
