In a heartwarming revelation, Liam Neeson has opened up about a blossoming connection with his The Naked Gun co-star, Pamela Anderson.
LIAM NEESON’S LOVE FOR PAMELA ANDERSON
The 72-year-old Taken star described his feelings for the former Baywatch icon as nothing short of “mad love”.
This unexpected confession adds a twist of romance to the star-studded reboot of the classic comedy franchise The Naked Gun.
Liam Neeson will tackle the iconic role of bumbling detective Frank Drebin, according to Daily Mail.
LIAM NEESON SINGS PAMELA’S PRAISES
The actor couldn’t help but sing Anderson’s praises. “With Pamela, first off, I’m madly in love with her,” he said.
“She’s just terrific to work with. 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.
She’s going to be terrific in the film.” His words captured an almost giddy admiration.
This showed that even seasoned actors like Liam Neeson are not immune to the charms of their colleagues. The admiration is clearly mutual.
PAMELA ANDERSON’S RESPECT FOR LIAM NEESON
Pamela Anderson, has often spoken about her respect for co-stars. She shared glowing remarks about her leading man, according to Page Six.
“Liam is the perfect gentleman,” she said. “He brings out the best in you… with respect, kindness and depth of experience.
It was an absolute honour to work with him.”
FRIENDSHIP ON SET
She added that he’d gone out of his way to look after her during filming, even wrapping his coat around her when she was cold on set.
“I made him some bread and cookies, left them for him in his dressing room,” she said, revealing a touch of Hollywood sweetness in their off-screen connection.
This charming collaboration will hit cinemas on 15 July 2025. The film will be directed by Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers director Akiva Schaffer.
THE NAKED GUN STARRING LIAM NEESON
It promises to bring fresh laughs to fans of the Police Squad! series and the original Naked Gun movies, which starred the late Leslie Nielsen.
The writers, known for their witty humour, have hinted they may incorporate some of Liam Neeson’s “very particular set of skills” into the plot. This will add a comedic nod to his action-hero reputation.
LIAM NEESON’S LOVE STORY
Neeson’s personal life has often been in the public eye, especially following the tragic loss of his wife, Natasha Richardson, in 2009.
Reflecting on romance, he once said, “I’m past all that.” Yet, his words about Anderson suggest there may still be room for companionship.
Liam Neeson married Richardson in 1994, and the couple had two sons, Micheál and Daniel.
MOVING FORWARD
The actor has spoken about the love they shared and the strength it gave him after her passing.
“I think Natasha would be proud,” he shared in a moment of reflection on his son Micheál following his footsteps in acting.
Though Neeson has been linked to high-profile women, including Helen Mirren, his recent comments about Anderson reveal a softer side to the tough guy.
Reflecting on Mirren, Neeson once said, “I was very smitten!”
A ROMANTIC SPARK
The two shared a romance in the 1980s while filming Excalibur, camping in the Loire Valley and enjoying time together, according to Parade.
However, Anderson’s impact seems to have revived some of that romantic spark. Whether this ‘mad love’ will stay on-screen or evolve beyond it is anyone’s guess.
But Liam Neeson’s gushing remarks about Anderson have certainly added intrigue to what promises to be a laugh-filled adventure for fans across the globe.
