Hollywood fans were surprised when Liam Neeson openly praised Pamela Anderson during interviews for their upcoming comedy reboot, The Naked Gun.
The 72-year-old actor revealed that while filming the movie, he developed deep admiration for Pamela and said:
“With Pamela, first off, I’m madly in love with her.”
He continued by calling her “terrific to work with,” praising her professionalism, humor, and easygoing personality. According to Neeson, Anderson had “no huge ego” and simply focused on doing great work on set.
The two star together in the reboot of The Naked Gun, where Pamela plays a glamorous femme fatale opposite Neeson’s character, Frank Drebin Jr.
Pamela Anderson also had warm things to say about Neeson. She described him as:
- “A perfect gentleman”
- “Humble”
- Respectful and caring on set
She shared sweet behind-the-scenes moments, saying Neeson would wrap his coat around her when she felt cold during filming. In return, she baked bread and cookies for him and left them in his dressing room.
Even though fans immediately started speculating about romance, Neeson has previously said he does not plan to remarry after losing his wife, Natasha Richardson, in 2009. Over the years, he has spoken emotionally about remaining devoted to her memory.
Still, many people online loved seeing the chemistry and mutual respect between Neeson and Anderson, with fans calling their connection “sweet,” “unexpected,” and “refreshing.”
