Liam Neeson made the first move on Pamela Anderson

And friends believe the pair are well matched, telling Us Weekly: "Pam and Liam are a good match because they have similar personalities and understand each other.

"They balance each other really well. Liam is quiet and introspective, and Pamela brings this fun curiosity that he really enjoys."

Liam has admitted he was charmed by Pamela from the moment they first met.

During a SiriusXM Town Hall event in New York City, he said: "Well, you know, we had never met before and I remember thinking: 'Wow, she is gorgeous' but she had this wonderful sense of silliness and just humanity about her.

"I don't want to blow her head up, but it was like I just felt an ease with her, you know, and we discovered a silliness with each other, which was terrific, you know?"

A recent report suggested they have been spending time together at Pamela's home in Canada after bonding over her love of gardening and baking.

A source told DailyMail.com: "Pam is very drawn to Liam because he is totally open to her way of thinking and living, and especially her approach to fame, which is impressive.

"She has been telling friends he is smitten and does a lot of sweet things for her, like sending her flowers, and spending time with her sons and dogs.'

"Pam cooks and gardens at home ... it's wholesome and appealing and very un-Hollywood and Liam loves that. He actually gets involved."
