Hollywood is buzzing over Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson’s unexpected new romance, which began while filming the upcoming comedy *The Naked Gun*, premiering August 1. Neeson stars as Lt. Frank Drebin Jr., with Anderson playing his love interest. According to Anderson, their bond grew over shared dinners, laughter, and a mutual love of literature, while Neeson has called her “the perfect gentleman” in reverse — praising her humor, professionalism, and lack of ego.
Anderson’s dating history has long been tabloid fodder, from her whirlwind 1995 marriage to Tommy Lee to brief unions with Kid Rock, Rick Salomon (twice), and bodyguard Dan Hayhurst. Neeson, by contrast, has kept his love life largely private since the tragic 2009 death of his wife, actress Natasha Richardson.
The pair’s chemistry has spilled into public view, from a sweet kiss at the London premiere to playful antics on *Today*. They’ve even introduced their families, appearing on the New York red carpet with Anderson’s sons, Brandon and Dylan, and Neeson’s sons, Micheál and Daniel.
While neither has officially confirmed the romance, insiders describe it as “a budding relationship” with clear signs they’re smitten. Natasha Richardson’s sister, Joely, appeared to give her blessing, leaving a string of heart emojis on Anderson’s Instagram post.
And in a sign of full family support, Neeson’s son chimed in too — celebrating the couple with raised hands, fire emojis, white hearts, and even a playful water pistol. As the film’s release approaches, Hollywood’s most unexpected pairing is stealing headlines — and winning over the people who matter most.
