Pamela Anderson & Liam Neeson Fuel Romance Rumors During Press Tour

Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson are the talk of Hollywood as their promotional tour for “The Naked Gun” continues to spark romance speculation. The co-stars have been dodging direct questions about their relationship status while displaying considerable chemistry both on and off screen.

During a recent Today show appearance, host Craig Melvin didn’t hold back when addressing the elephant in the room. “What’s the deal here? You’re both single right now. There’s clearly chemistry on display throughout this film. Are you two an item?” he asked the pair directly.

The actors responded with playful evasion, with Neeson incredulously replying “Craig!” while Anderson claimed she didn’t understand the question.

Despite their coy responses, Neeson did offer some insight into their connection. “I had never met Pamela before. We met on set. And we discovered we had a lovely, budding chemistry—as two actors,” the 73-year-old actor explained during the interview.

The Taken star continued with a metaphor that left room for interpretation: “It’s like, ‘Oh, this is nice. Let’s not mold this. Let’s just let it breathe,’ and that’s what we did.”

Behind-the-Scenes Connection

Sources close to the production have provided more details about the nature of their relationship. According to People, an insider revealed, “It’s a budding romance in the early stages. It’s sincere, and it’s clear they’re smitten with each other.”

The source added that Neeson and Anderson are currently “enjoying each other’s company” as they promote their new comedy, which hits theaters August 1.

Their connection has been evident throughout their promotional activities. At the New York premiere on July 28, both stars made the event a family affair by bringing their sons to the red carpet. Anderson was accompanied by her sons Brandon, 29, and Dylan, 27, whom she shares with ex-husband Tommy Lee, while Neeson brought his sons Micheál, 30, and Daniel, 28, from his marriage to late wife Natasha Richardson.

The group photo of all six family members together has fans speculating about the blending of their families, as reported.

Professional Praise and Personal Warmth

Both actors have been generous with their professional compliments for each other. In an October 2024 interview with People, Neeson was particularly complimentary of his co-star.

“With Pamela, first off, I’m madly in love with her. She’s just terrific to work with,” he said. “I can’t compliment her enough, I’ll be honest with you. No huge ego. She just comes in to do the work. She’s funny and so easy to work with.”

Anderson has reciprocated the praise, describing Neeson as “the perfect gentleman” who “brings out the best in you… with respect, kindness and depth of experience. It was an absolute honor to work with him.”

In a July Entertainment Weekly cover story, Anderson shared more about their bond: “I think I have a friend forever in Liam. We definitely have a connection that is very sincere, very loving. He’s a good guy.”

The 58-year-old actress previously revealed that she and Neeson bonded over their “love of literature and a good laugh” during filming. She noted they maintained what she called a “professionally romantic” relationship while working together.

Anderson and Neeson have both expressed appreciation for their working relationship on “The Naked Gun,” though they continue to keep details about their personal connection private.
