Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson have got chins wagging with their flirtatious behaviour, sparking rumours that the pair are in a relationship.
After sharing a friendly kiss on the red carpet at the London premiere of their new movie The Naked Gun last week, the two actors almost replicated the kiss on Monday night when they spoke to Entertainment Tonight in New York.
When Anderson and Neeson appeared on NBC's Today the next morning, they were still acting flirtatiously. The two feigned a passionate kiss before co-host Craig Melvin appeared to cut them off before the interview started.
Are the pair dating? Here’s what we found out.
Are they dating?
The pair have not not provided any comments confirming their relationship but sources seem to suggest the pair have been dating for some time.
The two performers are “smitten” with each other and “enjoying each other's company” according to an unnamed “source” who spoke to People magazine without providing any other information.
The pair have reportedly been dating “for a while” according to a Daily Mail insider, with “sparks” first appearing when they started filming in May 2024. According to the source, “She has been telling friends he is smitten and does a lot of sweet things for her, like sending her flowers, and spending time with her sons and dogs.”
Dating rumours began to circulate when Liam gushed about working with the Barbed Wire star in his People cover story in November 2024, even going so far as to say he was "madly in love with her".
He told the magazine: “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. No huge ego. She just comes in to do the work. She’s funny and so easy to work with.”
Meanwhile, Anderson referred to him as “the perfect gentleman” and told the magazine, “He brings out the best in you…with respect, kindness, and depth of experience. It was an absolute honor to work with him.”
How did they meet?
The pair met on the set of The Naked Gun, according to Neeson.
Neeson told NBC’s Today: “I had never met Pamela before. We met on set. And we discovered we had a lovely budding chemistry as two actors. It was like, ‘Oh, this is nice, let’s not mold this. Let’s just let it breathe.’ And that’s what we did.”
The film is the fourth big-screen instalment of the crime-spoof comedy franchise, which started with the ABC series Police Squad! in 1982.
Neeson plays the role of Frank Drebin Jr. while Anderson portrays Beth Davenport in the 2025 film. Additionally, it marks Anderson's comeback to comedy following her highly praised role in The Last Showgirl.
