The Naked Gun stars, Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson, got tongues wagging after starring in a reboot of the iconic film, with many wondering if they were a couple
Pamela Anderson has broken her silence on the Liam Neeson romance rumours, which surrounded the pair after they starred in The Naked Gun together.
Fans were convinced something was going on between the Baywatch star and Irish actor this summer when they appeared very pally during the promotional tour for the film, which continues the slapstick parody legacy of the iconic original.
Mum-of-two, Pamela, 58 – who previously admitted she was nervous about meeting Liam, 73, before shooting Naked Gun – looked delighted to be with the Taken icon, who in turn appeared smitten with the CJ Parker star. And now, Pamela has confirmed that the rumours were true…

In bombshell news, the star has admitted that the pair were indeed romantically involved – but are now ‘better off as friends’. Speaking to People magazine, she said: “If you must know, Liam and I were romantically involved for a short while but only after we finished filming.”
The star explained how the pair enjoyed an “intimate week” together at the Taken actor’s home in New York. Pamela said: “I had my own room. Our assistants both came; even family stopped by.”
However, after a “romantic lost week” together, Pamela revealed how they ended up going their “separate ways to work on other films” – and are in fact, better off as friends.
Pamela and Liam ended up reconnecting on the promotional tour for Naked Gun this summer and she was amused to hear that some thought their obvious closeness was for publicity – insisting “we have real feelings”. The Last Showgirl star said: “We were having fun, (our connection was) a little bit like a Nancy Meyers film.
“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.’ I adore Liam, but we are better friends, in full honesty.”
Pamela had previously admitted she was nervous about meeting Liam before shooting the film, but soon impressed him by bringing homemade sourdough bread and muffins to set. During a SiriusXM Town Hall event in New York City, she said: “[I was] nervous to meet [Liam], of course and you’re always nervous the first day on the set …
“I brought sourdough bread to Liam and cookies and muffins and kept me busy. Kept me outta trouble … It’s a very special [muffin] recipe. It’s very good for you. Let’s just say that.”
Meanwhile, Liam explained that he was charmed by Pamela from the moment they met. The Cold Pursuit star said: “Well, you know, we had never met before and I remember thinking: ‘Wow, she is gorgeous’, but she had this wonderful sense of silliness and just humanity about her.
“I don’t want to blow her head up, but it was like I just felt an ease with her, you know, and we discovered a silliness with each other, which was terrific, you know?”
