The Love Actually actor, 68, resided in Melbourne for several months in 2020, while filming the action movie Blacklight.
Liam – who lost his wife Natasha Richardson in 2009 – hinted at a mysterious ongoing romantic entanglement, despite the town being in phase four of Covid lockdown at the time.

Pulling off a cheeky smile, the father-of-two confessed, “I made two friends…I fell in love, but she was taken.”
