Pamela Anderson Talks About Liam Neeson Romance: How Their Bond Formed On and Off Screen

Pamela Anderson has shared new details about her rumored relationship with Liam Neeson, her co-star in The Naked Gun reboot. In a recent interview, she confirmed the pair did have a brief romance after filming ended, explaining their current supportive friendship and how their on-screen chemistry developed into a real-world connection.

What Pamela Anderson Said About Her Time with Liam Neeson

In a detailed interview with People magazine published in early December, Anderson confirmed persistent rumors about the pair. She described a short but meaningful personal connection that began only after their work on the movie was complete.

“If you must know, Liam and I were romantically involved for a short while but only after we finished filming,” Anderson told the magazine. She recalled spending what she called an “intimate week” at Neeson’s home in upstate New York. During that time, she noted, their assistants and even family members visited, and she stayed in her own room.

Anderson shared several personal memories from that week, including a dinner at a small French restaurant.

“He introduced me as the ‘future Mrs. Neeson,’” she said.

She also remembered helping tend to an overgrown rosebush in his garden, a simple moment she enjoyed. One morning, Neeson famously chased a bear away from the window while wearing just a bathrobe. Soon after, their different work commitments pulled them apart. “We went our separate ways to work on other films,” Anderson explained.

From On-Screen Partners to Off-Screen Friendship

The romance rumors started well before Anderson’s recent confirmation. During the press tour for The Naked Gun in the summer, their obvious chemistry sparked questions from fans and media alike. On a visit to the TODAY show, host Craig Melvin directly asked them about their status.

Neeson explained their connection as a pleasant discovery between co-workers. “I had never met Pamela before. We met on set. And we discovered we had a lovely, budding chemistry — as two actors,” he said. “It’s like, ‘Oh, this is nice. Let’s not mold this. Let’s just let it breathe’”.

Anderson was aware that some people thought their flirtation was just for show. She found that idea amusing.

“I always was laughing when people thought, ‘Oh, that’s a publicity stunt.’ I’m like, ‘A publicity stunt? This is real. We have real feelings,’” she told People.

Although their romantic chapter was brief, the pair have maintained a warm and supportive friendship. Anderson emphasized that Neeson has been a strong supporter of her recent career achievements, including her acclaimed performance in The Last Showgirl and a stage role in Tennessee Williams’ Camino Real at the Williamstown Theater Festival.

“He is such a supporter of this new trajectory in my career and kindly tells me he is very proud of me. I’m sure we will always be in each other’s lives,” Anderson stated.

She summed up their current relationship simply: “I adore Liam, but we are better friends, in full honesty”.

A Look at The Naked Gun Reboot Starring Anderson and Neeson

The 2025 film The Naked Gun is a revival of the classic comedy franchise. Directed by Akiva Schaffer, the movie stars Liam Neeson as Lt. Frank Drebin Jr., the son of Leslie Nielsen’s original character. Pamela Anderson plays Beth Davenport, a true-crime novelist who becomes Drebin’s love interest and partner in solving a crime.

The film follows Drebin Jr. as he investigates a villainous billionaire, played by Danny Huston, who plans to use a device to bring out humanity’s worst instincts. Critics have noted that Anderson’s performance has been a standout in the movie.

The film has faced some criticism from David Zucker, who directed the original Naked Gun movies. He has publicly stated that the new film tries to copy his style without capturing the original’s essence and criticized its higher budget. Despite this, the reboot has been a success with audiences, holding strong ratings on review sites.

The Path Forward for Both Stars

Pamela Anderson is currently enjoying a significant career revival. Beyond The Naked Gun, her performance in The Last Showgirl has earned praise for its authenticity, with Anderson appearing in promotional events with minimal makeup, embracing a more natural public image. Her current focus appears to be on choosing roles that reflect her artistic growth.

Liam Neeson continues his long-standing career as a leading actor. His participation in the comedy reboot showed a different side of his acting range. Following the film’s release, producer Erica Huggins mentioned in August 2025 that discussions about a possible sequel to the new The Naked Gun are ongoing.
