Liam Neeson turned heads at the Toronto International Film Festival this weekend, and not just because of his signature on-screen intensity. The 74-year-old actor was photographed holding hands with his co-star Stella Stocker on the red carpet Saturday at the premiere of“Evil Genius,”the film directed by Courteney Cox. Neeson kept his look classic with a black blazer, black T-shirt, jeans and brown dress shoes, while Stocker wore a black cowl-neck dress with her hair styled up.
The timing has fans buzzing. Neeson and Stocker have shared the screen before, in 2022’s“Memory”and“Marlowe,”and now they’re co-starring in the action thriller“The Mongoose,”which arrives in theaters October 30. The hand-holding moment comes after Neeson made headlines last year over his flirtation with Pamela Anderson, so speculation about his personal life is running hot once again. Neeson was married to actress Natasha Richardson from 1994 until her passing in 2009, making any hint of new romance a topic fans follow closely.
Whether this is a genuine connection or simply two co-stars comfortable with each other, the red carpet moment has done its job: everyone is talking about Neeson and“The Mongoose.”The film hits theaters October 30, so we’ll all be watching to see what happens next.
What do you think — real romance or just great co-star chemistry? Sound off in the comments.
