Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson seem to have an important person in their corner: the actor’s youngest son, Daniel.
After Anderson shared a series of photos of herself and her Naked Gun costar via Instagram on Friday, August 1, celebrities and fans offered their support for the pair’s new relationship in the comments section.
But few of those reactions are as important as Daniel’s, who commented with several emojis: “🙌🙌🔥🔥🤍🤍🔫.”
Neeson, 73, shared Daniel, 28, and his brother Micháel with his late wife Natasha Richardson, who unexpectedly died in 2009 at age 45 after suffering a head injury during a ski accident. Anderson, 58, has been married five times to four men and shares sons Brandon Thomas Lee and Dylan Thomas Lee with ex-husband Tommy Lee.
Anderson’s son Brandon has also verbalized his support for the duo.
“I just think they’re such great costars,” he told Access Hollywood on July 28. “They have such a great onscreen chemistry. It means it’s well done. … They both did such an amazing job. And it’s actually really cool to see both of them in their comedic element.”
On the same day, a source exclusively told Us Weekly that Neeson “has been intrigued and smitten” with Anderson since the first day of filming the long-awaited remake, and he didn’t hold back from telling her how he felt.
“Pam and Liam are a good match because they have similar personalities and understand each other,” the friend also shared with Us of the pair’s compatibility.
Anderson and Liam “balance each other really well,” the source continued. “Liam is quiet and introspective, and Pamela brings this fun curiosity that he really enjoys.”
Neeson first said he was “madly in love” with Anderson in 2024.
“I can’t compliment her enough, I’ll be honest with you. No huge ego. She just comes in to do the work,” he told People at the time. “She’s funny and so easy to work with. She’s going to be terrific in the film.”
Anderson also told the outlet Neeson is “the perfect gentleman,” adding, “He brings out the best in you… with respect, kindness and depth of experience. It was an absolute honor to work with him.”
The actor took care of her on set and “sincerely looked after me — wrapped his coat around me when I was cold,” Anderson added. She also left Neeson bread and cookies in his dressing room.

Neeson and Anderson’s chemistry immediately captured attention at the July 20 premiere of The Naked Gun in London, which both of Anderson’s sons attended. A source told Us that they “love seeing [their mom] happy and fully approve” of the relationship and “think Liam is great and have gotten to know him better in the last few months.”
Anderson’s sons aren’t the only one who approve. Natasha Richardson’s sister Joely Richardson posted seven “love heart” emojis on Anderson’s August 1 post, and Bravo host Andy Cohen, a longtime friend of Natasha’s, also voiced his support.
“Natasha was a dear friend of mine,” Cohen said during the July 30 broadcast of Sirius XM’s Radio Andy. “And I’m gonna tell you something, I and all of the friends in this circle, are very much stanning, whatever this is.”
