Liam Neeson Reminisces About 'Falling' For His Ex-Wife Amid Her Comparison To Pamela Anderson

Liam Neeson's love story with Natasha Richardson remains fresh in his memory, nearly two decades after her passing.

The actor has found a new flame with Pamela Anderson, so much so that it reminds him of how his romantic journey with his late wife started in 1993.

Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson have been certified as a good pairing by people in their respective circles since they popped up with loads of PDA on the red carpet for "The Naked Gun" promo.

The actor got candid about the process of falling in love with the late Richardson after he set eyes on her on the Broadway stage for the play Anna Christie in 1993.

Their time on stage was one of the highlights of the actor's life as he declared, "It was great doing it every night with her and falling in love."

So many good things came out of Neeson's Broadway gig- a thrilling chapter with the love of his life and a shot at the limelight when he starred in Steven Spielberg's Academy Award–winning Holocaust drama "Schindler's List."

According to The New York Times, Neeson and the late Broadway actress tied the knot a year after their first meeting in 1994 and welcomed three children. Unfortunately, Neeson and Richardson's love was cut short by an unfortunate ski accident in 2009, which left her with a brain injury, leading to her death.

Eleven years after her passing, Neeson admitted that the late actress is still a huge part of his life as he goes to her grave to speak with her often. In his words:

"I speak to her every day at her grave, which is about a mile and a half down the road. I go down there quite often, so I do speak to her as if she's here. Not that she answers me."

The 73-year-old explained later in 2024 to PEOPLE that his two adult sons have done well for themselves since her horrific passing, but the pain does not get any easier.

Richardson reportedly revealed she fell for the handsome actor in the middle of her troubled marriage to Robert Fox, leading her to divorce him after four years together in 1993.

She made her red carpet debut alongside Neeson at the 1993 Tony Awards, where they bagged nominations for Best Lead Actor and Actress for their performance in "Anna Christie."

The pair got married in an intimate ceremony at their farmhouse in Millbrook, New York, with stars like Emma Thompson, Steven Spielberg, and Mia Farrow in attendance. Richardson dazzled in a Donna Karan dress and serenaded her husband to Van Morrison's "Crazy Love."

TV host and media personality Andy Cohen, Richardson's friend until her death, weighed in on Neeson's latest romantic episode with Anderson. For context, Neeson has had just one publicized relationship since Richardson passed, and it was a two-year romance with Freya St. Johnston in 2012. 

As shared by The Blast, Cohen declared that he, alongside all of the friends in the circle who shared a bond with Richardson, has approved of the relationship between the co-stars.

He compared Anderson with Richardson regarding their personality and traits, explaining why she and Neeson are a perfect match for each other. He said:

"She [Anderson] is an independent woman just like Tash was. She loves to cook. She has her own thing going on. She has two boys," Cohen explained.

The TV host continued that Anderson has presented herself through her journey in Hollywood as a "formidable human being" who has "reclaimed herself and redefined herself."

Last year, during filming for their movie, Neeson raved about his time with the actress on set, describing her as a phenomenal actress and human being. 

"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," the actor noted. 

Anderson, who was present during the interview, returned the favor to her co-star, calling him a perfect gentleman. She praised him for always being considerate of her feelings on set, especially when feeling insecure.

The couple has been smitten with each other since the press run began for their movie. Anderson did not hold back on the PDA for even a minute on the red carpet.

From planting sweet kisses on Neeson's cheeks to dropping hints of making out backstage before show appearances, the actors are intentional about riding it out until the end.

As shared by The Blast, a source claimed that Anderson had set her mind on getting close to the actor since she was cast in the "Naked Gun" movie.

"He's f-cking Liam Neeson. She has always found him attractive and interesting," the insider declared.

The actress's huge crush on him was not news, as Neeson had bagged the attention of many ladies within and outside the industry, thanks to the rumor about his gigantic manhood. Supermodel Janice Dickson once attested to the mouth-watering size of his genitals in an interview nearly two decades ago.

"It was like an Evian bottle fell out of his pants. Oh my God, you don't understand. I swallowed my tongue. I was so shocked. This was way before he was famous, too," Dickson exclaimed.

On the trajectory of her romance with the 73-year-old, sources close to them affirmed that they are taking each day as it comes. "They are figuring things out along the way. It's fun to watch," the source concluded.

The sparks are definitely flying between Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson.
