Pamela Anderson Breaks Silence On ‘Real Feelings’ For Liam Neeson That Led To Shocking Nickname

The sparks that flew between Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson were as real as ever!

The actress recently dished on her romantic connection with her “The Naked Gun” co-star, Liam Neeson, and how they spent many intimate moments together. 

The two became romantically involved after working on “The Naked Gun” together. However, the actress believes they are now better off as friends. 

During a candid chat, Anderson revealed that she and Neeson became a romantic item after they wrapped up filming “The Naked Gun.” She recalled spending an “intimate week” with him in his New York home, tagging it a “romantic lost week.” 

The 58-year-old actress revealed that she also went to dinner with her co-star, during which he gave her an unexpected, yet adorable nickname.

“[We] went to dinner at a tiny French restaurant where he introduced me as the ‘future Mrs. Neeson,” she said. 

After spending a week together, the duo went their separate ways to focus on other projects. They later reconnected to promote “The Naked Gun” over the summer, and even then, the sparks were still flying between them. 

Speaking on her connection with the “Taken” actor, Anderson gushed over how fun it was and likened it to a Nancy Meyers film. She insisted that while it may have appeared to be a publicity stunt to outsiders, it was anything but that. 

“I always was laughing when people thought, ‘Oh, that’s a publicity stunt.’ I’m like, ‘A publicity stunt? This is real. We have real feelings,’” she said to PEOPLE Magazine.

“He is such a supporter of this new trajectory in my career and kindly tells me he is very proud of me,” she says. “I’m sure we will always be in each other’s lives,” she added.

At the end of it all, Anderson revealed that while she adores Neeson, they are “better friends, in full honesty.” 

Anderson’s comments come months after her relationship with Neeson was heavily scrutinized by the public. Some sources claimed their connection was only a PR stunt, while others argued that it was genuine. 

The Blast reported that a source alleged they put up public romantic displays in a bid to generate buzz around their new movie. The source alleged it was “pure role-play PR, not reality,” and claimed that the duo “never had one-on-one dinners.” 

On the other hand, insiders refuted the claims, saying, “Everything between them has been genuine. Neither would ever take part in a publicity stunt. They have a great time. Neither of them needs the publicity.”

Another insider argued that they both had a “real connection,” as there was “no incentive” to stage a romantic connection. 

Despite claims that Anderson and Neeson were staging their romance, the actress didn’t hesitate to openly speak about the connection she shared with Neeson. 

Per The Blast, Anderson described Neeson as a “gentleman” who checks a lot of boxes off her list. She admitted that his open generosity and supportive nature drew her to him, saying, “You can’t help but fall in love with him.” 

“We do have chemistry and, you know, off set, he’s silly. He has that little boy sense of humor. Yeah, he’s funny,” she added.

Anderson and Neeson’s chemistry wasn’t only clear to her and Neeson, but also to people close to them, even the actor’s late wife’s friends. According to The Blast, people who were close to Natasha Richardson, Neeson’s late wife, supported his budding romance with Anderson. 

Andy Cohen spoke about their connection, saying, “Natasha was a dear friend of mine. I and all of the friends in this circle are very much stanning whatever this is. Shipping," Cohen said.

He also drew a lot of similarities between Anderson and the late Richardson, noting that it’s not a surprise for Neeson to be attracted to Anderson. 

Amid the support from Richardson’s close circle, reports surfaced suggesting that Anderson reportedly had a crush on Neeson before their time on the set of “Naked Gun” led to sparks. 

A source claimed that the actress had plans to make a move on Neeson, as “getting close to him has been on her mind since she was cast,” per The Blast.

The actor was also rumored to have “Big D-ck Energy,” which some claim attracted Anderson to him in the first place.
