Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson have sparked dating rumors after showing off their close bond during promotions for their new movie The Naked Gun. The co-stars have been seen holding hands, sharing kisses on the red carpet, and even bringing their children to premieres, making fans wonder if their on-screen romance has turned real.
Red Carpet Moments Fuel Speculation
The rumors started when Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson walked the red carpet together at the London premiere of The Naked Gun. Anderson kissed Neeson on the cheek, and they held hands while posing for photos. The chemistry continued at the New York premiere, where they were joined by their children—Neeson’s sons Michael (30) and Daniel (28), and Anderson’s sons Brandon (29) and Dylan (27).
During an interview with Entertainment Tonight, the pair pretended to kiss, teasing fans even more. Their playful behavior has kept the rumors alive, with many believing there’s more than just friendship between them.
Coy Responses in Interviews
When asked directly about their relationship on the Today show, both Anderson and Neeson avoided giving a clear answer. Host Craig Melvin asked, “What’s the deal here? Are you two an item?” Anderson joked, “What? I don’t understand the question.”
Neeson responded with a more thoughtful but vague answer:
“I had never met Pamela before. We met on set. And we discovered we had a lovely, budding chemistry—as two actors. It’s like, ‘Oh, this is nice. Let’s not mold this. Let’s just let it breathe.’ And that’s what we did.”
Melvin playfully added, “We’re watching the beginning of the breathing of a budding relationship… America’s here for it.”
Mixed Signals from the Stars
While their red carpet behavior suggests romance, their comments have been mixed. Anderson previously described their relationship as “professionally romantic” in an interview with Entertainment Weekly. She also called Neeson a “forever friend.”
Neeson, on the other hand, has been more open about his admiration for Anderson. Last year, he told 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. No huge ego. She just comes in to do the work. She’s funny and so easy to work with.”
Anderson also praised Neeson, saying:
“He’s the perfect gentleman who sincerely looked after me. He brings out the best in you… with respect, kindness, and depth of experience. It was an absolute honor to work with him.”
A Source Claims They’ve Been Dating for a While
Despite their playful denials, a source told Daily Mail that Anderson and Neeson have been dating “for a while.” According to the insider, their romance began while filming The Naked Gun in May 2024.
“Pam is very drawn to Liam because he is totally open to her way of thinking and living. She has been telling friends he is smitten and does a lot of sweet things for her, like sending her flowers and spending time with her sons and dogs.”
The source added that they’ve kept their relationship private by spending time at Anderson’s home in Canada, where she enjoys cooking and gardening—something Neeson reportedly loves.
Fans Are Loving Their Chemistry
Whether they’re dating or just great friends, fans are enjoying their dynamic. Social media has been buzzing with reactions, with many hoping they’ll confirm a romance soon. Anderson even posted on Instagram:
“A beautiful evening at the NYC Naked Gun premiere… thank you to everyone who came out to laugh with us… love is in the air.”
The movie, The Naked Gun, releases in theaters on August 1. It stars Neeson as Detective Frank Drebin Jr., the son of the original character played by Leslie Nielsen, and Anderson as his love interest, Beth.
