The nurses at Royal Melbourne's Hospital were left in shock when the star made his special delivery, sharing their gratitude on Facebook.
"I will find you...and I will...treat you," the post jokingly began, referencing his iconic line from the movie Taken.
"Liam Neeson is filming a movie in Melbourne and was kind enough to send in some flowers to our Acute Medical Unit, which was a Covid-19 ward this year.

According to the film's producer, Paul Currie, Liam Neeson hasn't done any sightseeing while he has been in Australia.
Due to the strict Covid-safe rules, the star has basically gone from hotel room to the movie set.
Speaking with The Age, Paul said: "He hasn't had time to go out to restaurants or anything like that, and we can't let him out anyway."
The $43 million film Blacklight was written, directed and produced by Mark Williams, who was also behind Netflix crime drama Ozark.
The new movie will feature Neeson as a "troubled off-the-books fixer for the FBI tasked with pulling undercover agents out of dangerous situations", the production company said, according to The Age.
