Liam Neeson, the famous Irish actor, is back in the headlines—this time for a surprising reason. He is now dating Pamela Anderson, and the news has caught the attention of fans and family alike.
Joely Richardson, the sister of Neeson’s late wife Natasha Richardson, has reacted warmly to this new chapter in his life.
A New Love for Liam Neeson
Pamela Anderson, 58, recently posted a joyful message on Instagram, celebrating the release of her and Liam Neeson’s new film The Naked Gun, which hit theatres on August 1. Along with her message, she shared fun and romantic pictures with Neeson, including one where he’s sprinkling popcorn on her head in a playful moment.
Her caption read:
“The Naked Gun is finally in theatres! Bring your friends, family, lovers… whoever… just go and have a laugh… it’s good for you! I’ll see you there 🤍🍿.”
Joely Richardson Shows Support
After Pamela posted the photos, Joely Richardson showed her love and support by commenting with seven red heart emojis. This small gesture spoke volumes about her feelings. Joely is not just Natasha’s sister, but also someone who has stayed close to Liam and his family even after her sister’s tragic death.
Joely herself is a well-known actress, having appeared in Nip/Tuck, The Patriot, and several British dramas. She and Natasha are the daughters of two legendary stars—actress Vanessa Redgrave and director Tony Richardson.
Remembering Natasha Richardson
Liam Neeson and Natasha Richardson met in 1993 while working on a Broadway play, Anna Christie. They fell in love, got married in 1994, and had two sons together—Micheál and Daniel. Sadly, Natasha passed away in 2009 after a tragic skiing accident in Canada.
Joely has spoken openly over the years about how difficult her sister’s passing was. Earlier this year, while celebrating her own 60th birthday, she posted a childhood picture of her and Natasha, reflecting on their bond and the passing of time.
She wrote:
“Me and my sister Tasha. On my birthday people seemed astonished that I was happy to be turning sixty… All the years and decades in between were LIVED.”
Neeson and Anderson: A Budding Romance
Liam Neeson, 73, and Pamela Anderson reportedly grew close while filming The Naked Gun, a light-hearted comedy. A source close to the film revealed in July that their relationship started during filming and is still in its early stages.
The source added:
“It’s a budding romance in the early stages. It’s sincere, and it’s clear they’re smitten with each other.”
Another insider confirmed they are “enjoying each other’s company” as they continue promoting the movie.
After many years of keeping a low profile following his wife Natasha’s passing, Liam Neeson seems to have found companionship again—with none other than Pamela Anderson. The support from Joely Richardson shows that the family respects his new happiness.
As The Naked Gun plays in theatres and Liam and Pamela enjoy their fresh romance, fans are happy to see this beloved actor smiling again.
