Pamela Anderson Admits She Felt 'A Little Insecure' While Working With Liam Neeson

Pamela Anderson might be a big star, but she still gets nervous while working with some of her industry colleagues.

The actress admitted that she felt intimidated by the idea of working with Liam Neeson, but credits their "natural chemistry" for easing her nerves.

The co-stars' off-screen bond has garnered attention as Liam Neeson praised Pamela Anderson for being "funny" and "easy to work with," after declaring he's "madly in love" with her.

Anderson recently explained how Neeson helped her overcome some insecurities while they both worked on the revival of "The Naked Gun."

The former "Baywatch" icon played Beth, a nightclub singer, while Neeson starred as Lieutenant Frank Drebin. Working side by side, the actor initially intimidated Anderson, but their on-screen and off-screen chemistry ultimately changed this for the actress.

"He's had an amazing career, and I feel like I'm just starting, so you feel a little insecure, but then the butterflies go away, and then, there you are," she told Loose Women, per the Daily Mail.

Anderson was then asked if they did anything to "bond" off-camera, to which she replied: "Well, we spent so much time together, a kind of natural chemistry happens. I don't know if it always happens, but we were kind of lucky."

Neeson was also present for the interview and disclosed that Anderson's culinary skills had a significant influence on their bond.

"Pamela's a fantastic cook… she very sweetly, numerous times, made me some sourdough bread which was stunning," he said.

While she rose to massive fame in the 1990s with "Home Improvement" and "Baywatch," Anderson's career endured a quiet period before she returned to the spotlight with her role in "The Last Showgirl," which earned her multiple Best Actress nominations at the Golden Globe, BAFTA, and Screen Actors Guild Awards.

Comparing the 2024 drama to her latest film with Neeson, "The Naked Gun" might not garner as much critical acclaim as "The Last Showgirl" did, but Anderson explained that she's happy to make career choices that feel right to her.

"I'm just doing it my own way, I'm not listening too much to the advice of others because I feel I don't know what my next incarnation will be or what I want to be," she said. "But, I feel more comfortable this way right now, but it could change tomorrow. We can change our minds."

In a recent interview, Neeson returned the gesture and was full of praise for Anderson, explaining that he found working with her "easy."

"No huge ego. She just comes in to do the work," he told People Magazine. "She's funny and so easy to work with. She's going to be terrific in the film."

Anderson returned the compliment by describing Neeson as "humble" and the "perfect gentleman."

"He brings out the best in you… with respect, kindness, and depth of experience. It was an absolute honor to work with him," she said. "He sincerely looked after me - wrapped his coat around me when I was cold."

She added: "I think I have a friend for ever in Liam, and we definitely have a connection that is very sincere, very loving, and he's a good guy. He really is a silly guy. He acts like a silly little boy sometimes."

Anderson and Neeson have sparked major buzz due to their chemistry amid the promo for their new movie.

Even their red carpet appearances have fueled romance rumors between the co-stars, which they have yet to address.

"Our chemistry was clear from the start," she revealed, per Entertainment Weekly. "We have the utmost respect for one another."

Anderson went further to call Neeson "mysterious," "inspiring," and a "true gentleman," adding that he "is a legend and deserving of the title," and that the experience of working with him was "electric in a way."

Anderson and Neeson revealed during their chat with EW that they bonded over their shared "love of literature and a good laugh." Anderson's culinary skills further strengthened this bond.

She explained, "I also baked my sourdough bread for therapy and regularly shared it with him, along with cookies and muffins," noting that she would usually leave it in his dressing room.

"We had many dinners out with the cast," Anderson added. "I invited him and his assistant over for romantic dinners with me and my assistant so our relationship stayed 'professionally romantic' during filming."
