Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson recently made headlines with their sweet red carpet moment at the London premiere of The Naked Gun. The two have been gaining attention not only for their on-screen chemistry but also for their off-screen friendship, which seems to be growing stronger by the day.
At the event, Anderson, 58, stunned in a strapless, deep purple Rodarte gown, while the 73-year-old Neeson looked charismatic in a grey suit and black shirt. As the cameras flashed, the pair posed together, and in a heartwarming moment, Anderson kissed Neeson on the cheek, showing their growing bond. Neeson, ever the gentleman, placed his arm around Anderson, which added a touch of warmth to their public appearance.
Real-Life Admiration
Their connection goes beyond just professional courtesy. In a previous interview with People in October, Neeson revealed his admiration for Anderson, admitting, “I’m madly in love with her.” He continued to praise her as a fantastic co-star, calling her “just terrific to work with” and noting how easy it is to collaborate with her. Neeson also mentioned that Anderson is free of any “huge ego,” a quality he truly appreciated.
Anderson reciprocated his admiration, calling Neeson “the perfect gentleman.” She fondly recalled how he looked after her on set, saying, “He brings out the best in you … with respect, kindness, and depth of experience.” She also shared sweet behind-the-scenes moments, revealing that she would often bake bread and cookies for Neeson and leave them in his dressing room as a gesture of thanks. “He sincerely looked after me — wrapped his coat around me when I was cold,” she said.

On-Screen Collaboration
The duo will next be seen together in The Naked Gun, a reimagining of the classic comedy. Anderson takes on the role of a traditional “femme fatale,” while Neeson plays Frank Drebin Jr., the son of the original character played by Leslie Nielsen. Directed by Akiva Schaffer, the film also stars Danny Huston and Paul Walter Hauser.
Despite their undeniable on-screen chemistry, fans hoping for a romantic relationship between the two may be disappointed. While both stars are currently single, Neeson has made it clear that he is not interested in pursuing a romance. “I’m past all that,” he told People in October 2024. Since the tragic death of his wife, actress Natasha Richardson, in a 2009 skiing accident, Neeson has kept his personal life largely private, with only a brief relationship with PR specialist Freya St. Johnston since then.
A New Side of Liam Neeson
Known for his action-packed roles in films like Taken, Neeson is venturing into comedy with The Naked Gun. This film marks his first full-length lead role in a comedy, although he has dabbled in comedic roles before, such as in Ted 2, A Million Ways to Die in the West, and Derry Girls. Fans are excited to see him bring his signature intensity to a more humorous character in this highly anticipated project.
While their on-screen relationship in The Naked Gun is sure to be one to watch, it’s clear that Anderson and Neeson’s real-life bond is built on mutual respect and admiration—both professionally and personally.
