Of course, I’m also skeptical of celeb-for-celeb relationships that conveniently begin the moment the two stars have a project to promote, but I want Anderson and the sweet, bereaved single stepdad from Love Actually—I mean, Oscar-nominated actor Liam Neeson—to have found actual love so badly that I’m totally willing to tolerate the format.
Anderson and Neeson have both been dealt their share of heartbreak in the personal-life department; Neeson famously lost his wife Natasha Richardson in 2009, and Anderson has spoken publicly (most notably in her 2023 Netflix documentary Pamela, a Love Story) about the pain she experienced after her private sex tape with former husband and Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee was leaked in 1996). At the risk of sounding like I remotely know these people—I don’t!—there’s something extremely charming about two likeable celebrities over 50 finding each other. I mean, who understands the experience of getting papped at Erewhon better than someone to whom that also happens?
Obviously, both parties being famous isn’t the only thing Anderson and Neeson have going for them. Both are parents of two boys; Neeson’s two sons with Richardson, Micheál and Daniel, are now in their 30s. I need to come across this four-son group eating a convivial blended-family dinner with their parents at the Polo Lounge ASAP!
We’ll see if Anderson and Neeson’s relationship is passing or a longtime partnership, but personally, I’m hoping this is the start of a real-life happy ending.
