The internet is in a frenzy after Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson turned heads at the London premiere of The Naked Gun, cozying up on the red carpet in a moment that felt straight out of a Hollywood rom-com.
With lingering glances and cheeky smiles, the duo sparked instant buzz, leaving fans to wonder if the chemistry extended beyond the screen.
On July 22, the internet lit up after Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson were spotted getting very close at the star-studded premiere of The Naked Gun reboot at London’s Cineworld Leicester Square.
In the revival of the classic slapstick comedy, Anderson takes on the role of a sultry femme fatale alongside Neeson, who stars as Frank Drebin Jr. – the son of Leslie Nielsen’s iconic character.
The Canadian-born Anderson turned heads in a stunning strapless deep purple gown with a dramatic train that flowed behind her like Hollywood royalty. Neeson opted for classic cool, rocking a textured gray suit over a sleek black tee.
‘Madly in love’ with Anderson
But it wasn’t the fashion or the film that had fans zooming in on photos and sharing clips at lightning speed – it was the unexpected chemistry between the 73-year-old action legend and the 58-year-old Baywatch icon that sparked a frenzy of romance rumors and sent fans into speculation overdrive.
Rumors have long been floating that the pair are a couple in real life, and not just on the screen, especially after the Oscar-winning Neeson admitted he’s “madly in love” with his co-star, who shares two sons with Tommy Lee.
“With Pamela, first off, off, I’m madly in love with her. She’s just terrific to work with,” Neeson told People in October 2024. “I can’t compliment her enough, I’ll be honest with you. No huge ego…She’s funny and so easy to work with.”
And, the Sun reports that after Neeson watched Anderson in her Golden Globe-nominated performance in The Last Showgirl, he admitted that “she was real. She was funny. Incredibly sexy.”
‘Connection’
Meanwhile, Anderson said Neeson is “the perfect gentleman.”
“He brings out the best in you… with respect, kindness and depth of experience,” she told the outlet.
In a separate interview with Entertainment Weekly, Anderson revealed she has “a friend forever in Liam.” “We definitely have a connection that is very sincere, very loving, and he’s a good guy,” she said.
Sex scenes
According to the Sun, Neeson joked that his favourite part of making The Naked Gun was “the sex scenes,” with his co-star – even though they were given an intimacy co-ordinator while filming.
“I’d never had one before. But she was in the background. There was no kind of, ‘okay! Excuse me!’” said the Taken star, who was married to Natasha Richardson until her tragic death in 2009.
Anderson said the co-ordinator knew when to walk away, recalling that she once stormed off, while Neeson claimed the coordinator threw her hands in the air and said, “I can’t take this! This is too hot for me. I’m going for coffee.”
Cheeky kiss
After Anderson and Neeson walked the red-carpet side by side – turning heads as Anderson leaned in to kiss her co-star on the cheek while cameras flashed – fans were not convinced it’s just a friendship.
“Pam Anderson & Liam Neeson’s romance is genuine – they couldn’t keep their hands off each other on the red carpet,” one user writes on X.
“I just found out Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson are dating and legit started tearing up because YES YES! They deserve to be happy so much! Ugh my heart is so full!!” shared a second hopeful netizen.
“I know this sounds silly but they always struck me as individuals whose hearts needed healing. So lovely to see them mending them together,” writes a third.
Another adds, “They look great together.”
