Liam Neeson gushes over Pamela Anderson amid Hollywood stars' blossoming romance
It turns out, even Liam Neeson can’t resist a plot twist.
The Taken star, 73, declared he was finished with dating in a candid People cover story last October — but fast-forward nine months, and he’s reportedly in the “early stages” of a romance with co-star Pamela Anderson.
According to a source from the set of The Naked Gun, the two are “enjoying each other’s company,” and “it’s sincere — they’re clearly smitten.”

On July 29, the pair shared a playful PDA moment during a Today show appearance, feigning surprise after being “caught” mid-make-out by the cameras.
A week earlier, Anderson kissed Neeson’s cheek at the film’s London premiere.
The unexpected couple met filming the upcoming reboot of The Naked Gun (in cinemas August 1), where their chemistry reportedly extended beyond the script. But Anderson insists things stayed “professionally romantic” during production.
“We had many dinners out with the cast,” she told Entertainment Weekly.
“I invited him and his assistant over for romantic dinners with me and my assistant — so our relationship stayed ‘professionally romantic’ during filming.”
Despite the slow burn, Neeson hasn’t held back in his praise for the Baywatch star, telling People in 2024: “I’m madly in love with her. She’s just terrific to work with… funny, no ego, and so easy to be around.”
Anderson returned the affection, calling Neeson “the perfect gentleman” who “brings out the best in you with respect, kindness, and depth of experience.”
Neeson, who was married to actress Natasha Richardson until her tragic death in 2009, has previously dated Barbra Streisand, Brooke Shields, and Helen Mirren. Anderson’s high-profile exes include Tommy Lee, with whom she shares two sons — Brandon, 29, and Dylan, 27.
The pair appeared together at The Naked Gun’s New York premiere on July 28, smiling on the red carpet alongside their respective adult children — a fitting sign, perhaps, of something a little more serious.
