Liam Neeson's Son Shows Support for Dad's Romance With Pamela Anderson on ‘WWHL' - Jordan News
Liam Neeson's Son Shows Support for Dad's Romance With Pamela Anderson on 'WWHL' Everyone is loving the new romance that's blossomed between Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson. The costars' press tour for The Naked Gun has been filled with delightful, flirty moments between the couple. اضافة اعلان Neeson and Anderson were guests on the August 3 episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, and they were joined by a special guest in the audience: Neeson's son Daniel 'Danny' Neeson. The Taken star proudly gushed about his son's tequila business, De Nada Tequila, which Neeson said was recently named one of the 'top three tequilas in the world.' Neeson was also wearing a De Nada T-shirt. The camera panned to Danny in the audience. During a round of questioning by Andy Cohen, who was a longtime friend of Neeson's late wife, Natasha Richardson, the host noted that he would not ask about Anderson and Neeson's new relationship. However, Cohen did say that 'all of your friends are very much stanning this relationship, as the kids say.' He then said, 'Right, Danny?' Neeson's son could be heard saying, 'Yes,' clearly happy for his father. Neeson and Anderson had been dancing around their relationship status leading up to the release of The Naked Gun. People reported that the couple's romance is 'in the early stages. It's sincere, and it's clear they're smitten with each other.' During their WWHL appearance, the actors gushed about each other. 'He's so kind and generous,' Anderson said. Neeson praised Anderson's 'spirit' and added, 'She's a giggler like me. I love that.' At one point, Anderson brought up her skincare company, Sonsie, and sweetly put her Sonsie Basic Balm on Neeson's lips. Of course, one of them had to play 'Plead the Fifth,' and Anderson was the lucky girl. Neeson put his hand on the Baywatch star's shoulder to show his support. The Last Showgirl star was a great sport, only pleading the fifth once when Cohen asked her to rank her husbands from favorite to least favorite. 'That's not fair,' Neeson said, stepping in to have his girl's back.
