Hollywood’s latest unexpected romance has become the talk of summer: Pamela Anderson, 58, and Liam Neeson, 73, have reportedly entered a “budding romance” as they promote their upcoming film The Naked Gun, sources confirm.

The two first fueled speculation when they attended the Naked Gun London premiere on July 22, walking the red carpet together with their children. Anderson planted a kiss on Neeson’s cheek while Neeson embraced her, prompting speculation of a deeper connection. The next day, during an appearance on The Today Show, they teased fans with a staged make-out moment during a promotional segment—leaving NBC hosts, and viewers, momentarily speechless.

Romance Confirmed by Source

An inside source told People that their relationship began on set of The Naked Gun, where they co-star as Detective Frank Drebin Jr. (Neeson) and Beth (Anderson). The source described the relationship as “in the early stages,” saying they are “smitten” and clearly “enjoying each other’s company.”

Mutual Praise From Both Actors

Both stars have sung each other's praises in separate interviews. Neeson told People in 2024, “With Pamela, first off, I’m madly in love with her. She’s just terrific to work with … She’s funny and so easy to work with”—adding, she has “no huge ego.” Anderson called Neeson “the perfect gentleman,” praising his kindness, respect, and professionalism: “He brings out the best in you … with respect, kindness and depth of experience. It was an absolute honor to work with him.” Anderson’s comments echoed earlier remarks to Entertainment Weekly: “We definitely have a connection that is very sincere, very loving … He’s a good guy.”

Bonding Beyond the Camera

According to reports, their bond deepened during filming of the action comedy, fueled by a shared interest in literature. Anderson even shared baked goods—like sourdough and cookies—with Neeson in his dressing room, all while maintaining the relationship’s “professionally romantic” tone during production.

What It Means for the Stars

This is Neeson’s first confirmed romance since the death of his wife, Natasha Richardson, in 2009. He had previously said he was mostly done with dating—making this connection with Anderson all the more poignant. Meanwhile, Anderson—who has been married five times—has called the relationship a “surprise” summer romance that has caught public attention.

As The Naked Gun hits theaters on August 1, 2025, the pair will continue their promotional tour and it’s no doubt that fans will see more PDA moments from both actors now that their relationship is out in the open.
