"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.
"Thanks Liam, from all of us starstruck at RMH!"
"Fantastic you all deserve this treat," one Facebook user commented. "Thank you all."
"That’s very kind," another added. "He’s a very thoughtful man."
"How special is that!" someone else wrote.
"How beautiful wow, you all deserve it," another said.
Others commented that the delivery was "stunning" and a "classy" gesture by Liam.
The film's producer Paul Currie, recently revealed Liam hasn't been able to do any sightseeing during his visit to Australia.

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."
