At the London premiere of The Naked Gun, Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson drew headlines with a brief, affectionate exchange that hinted at the strong rapport built during filming. Anderson, 58, leaned in to kiss Neeson on the cheek as cameras flashed, while the actor, 73, placed a hand warmly on her back.
In earlier interviews, he had openly praised Anderson, calling her "terrific" and admitting he was "madly in love" with her. Speaking to People magazine, the Taken star said, "She just comes in to do the work. She's funny and so easy to work with. No huge ego." The bond between the two, it seems, extended well beyond the set.
Pamela, for her part, has echoed the sentiment. "He brings out the best in you," she told People, calling him "the perfect gentleman." She recalled moments of quiet care, like Neeson wrapping his coat around her when she was cold, and mentioned baking cookies and bread for him during production. "It was an absolute honor to work with him," she added.
The chemistry was evident at the premiere, with Anderson dressed in a purple strapless Rodarte gown and Neeson in a crisp gray suit. Though both stars are currently single, neither has suggested a romance is forming. In fact, Neeson has previously said, "I'm past all that," when asked about dating, referencing the loss of his wife, Natasha Richardson, in 2009.
Pamela, who shares two sons with ex-husband Tommy Lee, has similarly expressed disinterest in pursuing new relationships. In her 2023 Netflix documentary Pamela, a Love Story, she said, "I think I'd rather be alone than not be with the father of my kids."
The Naked Gun, a comedic reboot of the original franchise, opens in theaters August 1. Whether their closeness was simply mutual admiration or something deeper remains unclear, but the public moment in London added an unmistakable layer of intrigue to their professional partnership.
