Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson shared a tender moment on the red carpet, sparking buzz ahead of their upcoming project together.
The pair grew close during the London premiere of The Naked Gun, where Anderson sweetly planted a kiss on Neeson’s cheek — a real-life display of affection that perfectly complemented their on-screen chemistry.
According to Page Six, the 73-year-old Taken star wrapped his arm gently around the 58-year-old Baywatch icon, who stole the spotlight in a stunning strapless deep purple Rodarte gown. Neeson looked effortlessly suave in a sharp grey suit paired with a sleek black shirt, embodying his usual charismatic presence.
Their warm interaction echoed Neeson’s earlier admission in a People interview, where he confessed to being “madly in love” with Anderson — a heartfelt revelation that added an extra layer of intrigue to their public appearance.
Liam Neeson didn’t hold back when praising Pamela Anderson, telling People, “With Pamela, first off, I’m madly in love with her. She’s just terrific to work with. I can’t compliment her enough, I’ll be honest with you.” He went on to describe her as “funny and so easy to work with,” adding that she has no “huge ego” — a rare quality in Hollywood.
The admiration was clearly mutual. Anderson called Neeson “the perfect gentleman,” saying, “He brings out the best in you … with respect, kindness, and depth of experience. It was an absolute honor to work with him.”
She also shared a sweet behind-the-scenes detail: she would bake bread and cookies for Neeson and leave them in his dressing room as a gesture of gratitude. “He sincerely looked after me — wrapped his coat around me when I was cold,” she revealed warmly.
In their upcoming film, a fresh take on The Naked Gun, Anderson embraces the role of a classic “femme fatale,” while Neeson stars as Frank Drebin Jr., the son of Leslie Nielsen’s iconic character. Directed by Saturday Night Live alum Akiva Schaffer, the cast also includes Danny Huston and Paul Walter Hauser.
Despite their undeniable on-screen chemistry and genuine fondness, fans hoping for a real-life romance might be disappointed. Both actors are currently single, but Neeson made his stance clear in a recent interview: “I’m past all that,” he told People in October 2024.
Since the tragic loss of his wife, actress Natasha Richardson, in a 2009 skiing accident, Neeson has kept his romantic life private, with only a brief relationship with public relations specialist Freya St. Johnston noted in recent years.
Though best known for his intense, action-packed roles in films like Taken, Liam Neeson is stepping into unfamiliar—and hilarious—territory with The Naked Gun.
This marks Neeson’s first full-length lead role in a comedy, despite previous comedic cameos in Ted 2, A Million Ways to Die in the West, and a memorable appearance in Derry Girls.
Now, he’s embracing the slapstick legacy of Frank Drebin with a wink and a straight face, proving that even Hollywood’s toughest tough guy can deliver a punchline.
