Liam Neeson and his “Mongoose” co-star Stella Stocker were photographed holding hands while on the Toronto International Film Festival red carpet.
The duo was all smiles as they stepped out at the premiere of the Courteney Cox-directed movie “Evil Genius” on Saturday.
At one point, Stocker squeezed Neeson’s arm before stopping to pose for photographers.
The “Taken” star, 74, wore a black blazer and black T-shirt for the star-studded outing. He kept it casual in jeans and brown dress shoes.
As for Stocker, she donned a black cowl-neck dress, styling her hair up.
The actress and Neeson star alongside each other in the forthcoming action thriller “The Mongoose,” set for release on Oct. 30.
The duo also worked together on the 2022 Martin Campbell-directed movie “Memory,” as well as Neil Jordan’s crime thriller “Marlowe” from the same year.
The pair’s appearance on the carpet together comes on the heels of Neeson attracting attention last year for his flirtation with Pamela Anderson, after they worked on their 2025 film “The Naked Gun.”
Anderson and Neeson’s undeniable chemistry first made headlines while they were promoting the movie.
“I’m madly in love with her. She’s just terrific to work with,” Neeson gushed to People while speaking about making the cop comedy reboot in 2024, and even introduced her as the “future Mrs. Neeson” when they went to dinner one evening.
“If you must know, Liam and I were romantically involved for a short while but only after we finished filming,” Anderson herself admitted to the outlet, revealing that she spent an “intimate week” with him at his home in upstate New York.
Subsequent gossip swirled that the co-stars had not been in a relationship, but had instead embarked on a calculated publicity stunt for their film.
However, an insider told Page Six that’s wasn’t the case. “There was instant chemistry but it never developed into an intimate relationship.”
Regardless, the two seem to remain friends. “He is such a supporter of this new trajectory in my career and kindly tells me he is very proud of me,” Anderson, 59, said to People last December. “I’m sure we will always be in each other’s lives.”
Neeson was married to actress Natasha Richardson from 1994 until her death in 2009.
Afterward, he dated public relations executive Freya St. Johnston for two years, and did not publicly date anyone else since then.
