Following a previous interview where Liam Neeson admitted that he was "madly in love" with Pamela Anderson, the pair have gotten close on the red carpet.
At the London premiere of The Naked Gun, Anderson planted a kiss on Neeson’s cheek as they posed together - adding real-life intrigue to their upcoming on-screen partnership.
The two stars looked happy to be with each other, with Neeson, 73, wrapping his arm around the 58-year-old Baywatch icon, who stunned in a strapless deep purple Rodarte gown, per Page Six.
Neeson, effortlessly stylish in a gray suit and black shirt, seemed every bit the charismatic leading man.
Neeson gushed about his admiration for Anderson during an interview with People back in October.
“With Pamela, first off, I’m madly in love with her. She’s just terrific to work with. I can’t compliment her enough, I’ll be honest with you,” he said. “She just comes in to do the work. She’s funny and so easy to work with,” adding that she doesn’t have a “huge ego.”
The admiration is clearly mutual. Anderson called Neeson “the perfect gentleman,” adding: “He brings out the best in you … with respect, kindness and depth of experience. It was an absolute honor to work with him.”
She also shared how she would show her appreciation behind the scenes, baking him bread and cookies and leaving them in his dressing room.
“[He] sincerely looked after me — wrapped his coat around me when I was cold,” she revealed.
Their upcoming film, a reboot of The Naked Gun, sees Neeson stepping into the role of Frank Drebin Jr. - the son of Leslie Nielsen’s original character - while Anderson plays a classic “femme fatale.”
Directed by Saturday Night Live alum Akiva Schaffer, the film also stars Paul Walter Hauser and Danny Huston.
Despite their on-screen spark and genuine affection, fans hoping for a real-life romance may be disappointed.
While both actors are currently single, Neeson has made his position clear. “I’m past all that,” he told PEOPLE in October 2024.
Following the tragic loss of his wife, actress Natasha Richardson, in a 2009 skiing accident, and a brief relationship with PR executive Freya St. Johnston, Neeson has largely kept his love life private.
While Neeson is best known for his action-packed roles in films like Taken, The Naked Gun marks a comedic turn for the veteran actor.
Though he's dipped his toes into humor with appearances in Ted 2, A Million Ways to Die in the West, and Derry Girls, this will be his first full-blown lead role in a comedy.
