Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson have finally broken their silence on the dating rumors that have captivated fans, sparked by their roles as romantic leads in the upcoming “The Naked Gun” reboot.
Romance Rumors Take Off
Speculation about a real-life romance between Liam Neeson, 73, and Pamela Anderson, 58, has been buzzing. The two are currently filming “The Naked Gun,” where they play love interests, and sources quickly suggested their on-screen chemistry had spilled over.
The talk intensified after a very public appearance in London. Pamela was seen kissing Liam on the cheek, and they held hands while walking the red carpet, looking more than just co-stars. A viral family photo, where both brought their respective children, further fueled the fire.
Addressing the Buzz on “Today”
The very next day, the pair appeared on the “Today” show, directly addressing the swirling rumors. Host Craig Melvin wasted no time, asking about their “chemistry” and if they were “an item.”
Pamela playfully feigned confusion, while Liam offered a more nuanced response. He explained that they had never met before filming and discovered “a lovely, budding chemistry” as actors. He suggested they “just let it breathe” rather than overthink it.
The host, however, wasn’t fully convinced, teasing that “America’s here for it.” Liam then added, “We’re both silly. We discovered a silly bone in each other.” He enthusiastically concluded that “it was great to be with this lady, seriously. Every day was a joy.”
Compliments and Contradictions
This isn’t the first time Neeson has praised Anderson. Back in October, he told People magazine he was “madly in love” with her as a co-star, calling her “ego-free” and a “joy” to work with.
Anderson has returned the compliments, describing Liam as “a perfect gentleman” who is kind, respectful, and brings out the best in people. However, she has also hinted at their connection being more platonic, previously calling their bond a “forever friendship” and “professionally romantic.”
Their Personal Histories
Both actors have had high-profile relationships in the past. Liam Neeson was married to actress Natasha Richardson from 1994 until her tragic death in 2009 after a skiing accident.
Pamela Anderson has been married multiple times, most recently filing for divorce from Dan Hayhurst in 2022. Interestingly, Neeson had stated last year that he was “past all that” when asked about dating at 72, making these new rumors all the more intriguing.
